<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As I have
been looking up how to grill different meats, I keep seeing Marinades come
up. I always assumed a marinade took
hours, but I have found several marinades that can take as little as 30
minutes. That is great news! I always want to try out Marinades, but never seem
to remember to look them up until I already should have been marinating the
meat for several hours. So even if you forget, like I do, or decide last minute
to grill up some yummy meat, you can add loads of flavor with a marinade while
you are preparing the rest of the meal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

don’t like that “fishy” flavor. It is quick to add flavor to fish, typically
not taking more then 15-20 minutes. Some firmer fish like Salmon can take up to
an hour. <i>Pro-Tip: Don’t marinate your fish in an Aluminum pan as the acid in
most marinades will react with the Aluminum.</i> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Onions make me cry. I love the taste of onions in food, but I hate cutting them or preparing them for cooking. They make my eyes sting with sulfur tears. So you can imagine, I have tried several methods to stop crying while cutting up onions. Here are some of the tricks that helped me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leave the roots on while cutting it helps to keep the onion from stinging your eyes as much. I have found that to be true unless an onion is particularly powerful, like they tend to be in the fall.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the onion you need to cut in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes before you cut it. This works okay, but the cold onion gets my fingers cold.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Burning a candle near where you are cutting the onion. This is the method I use most, and it works well.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have the cut part of the onion away from your face, and have a fan on to blow the fumes away.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Try wiping your knife with fresh lemon juice before you cut into the onion and use fresh lemon juice after on the surface you cut the onion on to dissipate the smell. I don’t always keep lemons on hand, so haven’t used this method as much.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use a food processor to cut them and contain the fumes. Just be sure to move your face away once you open the lid, and have a fan blowing. I do this when I have multiple onions to cut up.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can also cut an onion under running water, which dissipates the gases, but use caution to make sure you don’t cut yourself in the process. I am not quite good enough at knife cuts to feel I can do this one safely. I actually just try to run the onion under a bit of water after the initial peel and cut-in half before the slicing or dicing.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bite down on a toothpick or unlit match. I was surprised by how much this one helped.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eat bread while chopping onions. I like bread, but would rather not spoil dinner by chowing down on bread while I cook.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wear goggles either swimming goggles or a <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Onion-Goggles/products/1098/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #999999;">pair of Onion Goggles from RSVP</span></a>. I wear glasses normally to see, but these really helped reduce the tears. </span></li>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white;">
National Grilled Cheese Day is April 12th. To celebrate we are holding a Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Contest! Details are in the post below.<br />
<br />
I am really excited about National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day because Grilled cheese is one of my favorite sandwiches. I
love how many ways you can make it. I have sampled many fine versions of this lunchtime
favorite. My first grilled cheese memory is my mom making me a grilled cheese
sandwich with plain white Wonder Bread and Kraft American Cheese with a side of
Campbell's Tomato Soup. I have since updated my go-to recipe to a more grown-up
version. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Take 2 slices of good sourdough bread, butter both sides, and place 1 slice of PepperJack
cheese and 1 slice of Cheddar cheese in-between the bread. Place in a
med-low heated skillet or grill pan and grill golden brown on both sides until
cheese is melted. Sometimes I will add an extra kick with red pepper flakes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Pro-Tip: Make sure your butter is room temperature
to make spreading easier, and also make sure your cheese is at room
temperature. You don’t want your bread to burn before the cheese has melted</span>.</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

This week I have a stress free plan for Easter Brunch, another tradition for Easter. After giving this some thought, I came up with an option that will please everyone, cook included!<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Build-Your-Own Crepes</span></h4>
<br />
I know that crepes can seem intimating, but they are easier to make then you think. Plus, you can make them ahead. <i><b>Pro-Tip:</b> Be sure to place wax paper or paper towels in-between each crepe to keep them from sticking together as you store them. </i>Then make up different fillings both savory and sweet. This lets everyone customize their brunch, so you don't have to worry about picky eaters. You can also involve your family by asking them to contribute with their favorite filling.<br />
<br />
My personal favorite crepe recipe is from Alton Brown. You can find it <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/crepes-recipe/index.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Great recipe for the cream filling shown can be found <a href="http://livlifetoo.blogspot.com/2013/03/strawberries-and-cream-crepes-food.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
If you do make these crepes up ahead of time, any filling that would need to be served warm can be put in the crepes then heat them up in either the microwave or oven until the filling is warm.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Some tools to make this meal easier can be found at <a href="http://cheftools.com/">cheftools.com</a>. </span></h4>
<br />
A crepe pan is not necessary to make crepes, but it does make it easier to create nicely thin crepes with ease. You can get shop our selection of Crepe pans <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Specialty-Cookware/products/1626/">here</a>.<br />

A batter dispenser will help you measure out exactly how much crepe batter you are using. This will keep your crepes more even and get more out of the batter. You can shop our selection of batter tools <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Batter-Tools/products/1624/">here</a>.<br />

Maybe this is your first year hosting or you have always
found family dinners to be a bit of an ordeal. I tend to freak out over
planning them and usually try to do too much. Experience has taught me that sometimes less really is more.
Especially if you want to enjoy time with your family and not regret you
invited them over!</span><br />

<a href="http://www.cheftools.com/images/recipes/LC_IslandChicken.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="http://www.cheftools.com/images/recipes/LC_IslandChicken.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
If you have been looking at some old recipes lately for soups, stews or roasting poultry you may have seen them refer to using a Dutch Oven. Dutch Ovens have been around for a long time, but you may not know why you would use it. It wasn't until recently I began to understand the many uses for a Dutch Oven in my own cooking.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">So why the craze over Dutch Ovens?</span></h3>
<br />
They're extremely versatile. You can use it like a stockpot or a baking dish. If you can only invest in one really nice pot, make it a Dutch Oven. Their circular design and tight fitting lid help them radiate heat around the contents while keeping in moisture for efficient cooking over long periods of time.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">What ways do you use a Dutch Oven?</span></h3>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Soups or Stews</b> - Place on the stove-top for long simmering stews, beans or stocks. Their design and thick gauge material makes it easy for them to retain heat over long cooking periods.<br />
<br />
<b>Roasting</b> - Place in the oven for slow roasting meats and vegetables. Their ability to evenly heat and retain heat over long periods with less energy being consumed means they are perfect for slow roasting.The lid keeps in moisture that prevents the food from drying out over long cooking times.<br />
<br />
<b>Deep-Frying</b> - Place on the stove-top for frying vegetables or meat. The even heat distribution allows the cook to monitor the oil temperature for even cooking. Always verify the temperatures are okay for use with your particular Dutch Oven.<br />
<br />
<b>Bread Baking</b> - Place in oven for baking bread or other baked goods. The tight lid keeps moisture in creating a great crust. The even heat distribution makes for even baking.<br />
<br />
<b>Casseroles</b> - Any dish that requires cooking on the stove-top and then be in the oven. You can reduce the amount of dishes needed by using a Dutch Oven for both the stove top portion and the baking portion of cooking.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cheftools.com/images/07-1604-69-180.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.cheftools.com/images/07-1604-69-180.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b>Bottom line:</b> You can use this one pot for many different meals instead of having several different pots for all of these functions.<br />

I love using fresh herbs. I know the best way to keep them fresh is to grow them, but I don't have a green thumb. So instead, I buy fresh herbs
with every intention of using them in the next day or so. Then life gets busy
and plans are changed. The dinner that I thought I was making that I need the herbs for is moved to later in the week. By the time, I get back to making that
recipe the herbs have gone bad. So I decided to find a way to make sure my
herbs lasted until I could get around to making the recipe that called for
them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<h3>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two most common solutions to keeping herbs
fresh.</span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Make an herb bouquet.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Cut the stems and put them in a cool cup of
water, and cover them lightly with a plastic bag keeping the bottom open to
allow in fresh air. Then depending on what the herb is, place it in the door
compartment of your fridge. The door strikes a good balance of being cooler
then room temperature, but not too cold for most herbs. Mint and Basil are
happier on a windowsill at room temperature. Cilantro and Parsley will do great
in the fridge as they prefer cooler temperatures.<br /><br /></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Wrap the herbs. This option is great if you are
worried about water dumping all over the place. You can wrap the herbs in a wet
paper towel and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Be sure to check the
paper towel every few days to make sure it hasn't dried out. You can also wrap
the herbs in a clean damp kitchen towel for a greener solution. Place the
wrapped herbs in the fridge. Not all herbs need to be as moist as others.
Rosemary, Thyme and other more woody herbs will mold if too moist. A damp cloth
or paper towel will work better than a wet one for them.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea is to keep them just moist enough that they stay
vibrant and green instead of wilted and black. Once your herbs turn black, or
the stems start to mold, it is time to throw them out. The above techniques
extend the life of the herb from a few days to a bit over a week depending on
how diligent you are in changing the water or monitoring the towel moisture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

time you bought a particular spice for a specific recipe. You just know that
you have it hiding in your cupboard of spices somewhere. As I have become a
more experienced cook, I have realized that changing out those lovely meal
accents is a necessary assignment for good food.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spices don’t keep forever. In fact, you may have heard of
the 6-month rule, having you clean out your spices after 6 months. However, not
all spices lose flavor in 6 months. Whole spices such as, mustard seed, can keep
good for years.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

scent or none at all, it is time to change them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Taste your spices. Do you find you need a larger
amount of the spice to get the flavor? That is probably a good indicator that
it is time to change them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Look at your spices. Have their colors faded? If
the color has faded, the flavor probably has too.</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Store your spices in labeled jars in a cool and dry
place. Measure out your spices into a small bowl instead of pouring your spices
directly into a steaming pot. This will keep them fresh by lessening the amount
of time the jars are open, and keeping your ground spices from lumping together
from the steam of the stove.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">It’s the
season to look back on the year past. In our case, that means looking back at
some of the most popular cooking tools of 2012. There are many perennial
favorites on here (like spice jars and the Avo-holder), but there are some cool
new products that we added this year that have absolutely blown up. Most of
this year’s top products combine irreverent design with functionality – so these
products are not just beautiful, but also useful. In no particular order:</span></div>

are so popular. They basically <b>eliminate the need</b> for 1) plastic wrap, 2)
plastic storage containers, and 3) cleaning up after a big meal. Just plop a
pretty sunflower, banana leaf, or hibiscus down on your bowl or casserole dish and
it’s sealed and ready for the refrigerator. The silicone material is
eco-friendly (it’s just melted sand), flexible, reusable, and heat resistant.
You can even get one to seal your coffee mug to keep your drink hot!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">On my way into work this morning, I heard on the local news
station a little story about a company in Seattle that’s started making
bacon-scented shaving cream. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Before the newscaster said the company’s name, I knew it could
only be J&D’s. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">J&D’s – named after the founders, Justin and Dave – have been
making interesting bacon products like Bacon Salt, <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Baconnaise-Bacon-Salt/products/1180/" target="_blank">Baconnaise</a>, and BaconPop
here in Seattle for years. They also happen to be our neighbors. I have fond memories their
full-size bacon coffin, or that time they proudly showed us their most XXX-rated product,
edible bacon-flavored personal lubricant. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">So, I guess <a href="http://store.baconsalt.com/Bacon-Shaving-Cream_p_170.html" target="_blank">bacon shaving cream</a> was inevitable. After all, bacon
shaving cream, “<span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">is what Vikings
would have used this to mow down their impenetrable forest of man-beard,” says
the J&D’s website. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">J and D know how to have fun, and
they know how to meld bacon with anything – obviously. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">Not game to shave with bacon? Well,
then you really should look into their more edible products. Items like bacon
malt salt and Baconnaise are quite delightful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They’re also safe for vegetarians – there’s no actual bacon involved –
and Kosher. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black;">Whether you’re shopping for a gag
gift or just something to sweeten up the life of a porcine-loving friend, invest
in some J&D’s. Check out their <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Baconnaise-Bacon-Salt/products/1180/" target="_blank">full line at Chef Tools here</a>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></div>

Just like most all small businesses, ChefTools.com was built
on a foundation of sweat, hard work, and late nights. What began as painfully
small operation over a decade ago had grown into a successful small business
that’s delivered cooking tools to thousands of people across the 50 states and
Canada. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And we have no one to thank but you. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
November 24 is Small Business Saturday, a day that we take
particular pride in because we’re a small business. We celebrate
the effort and chutzpah it takes to building something on your own. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sure, we sell products by big companies, but
we also celebrate the little guy – because, at heart, that’s who we are. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Take for instance <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Bag-Adapter-Kit/productinfo/02-4105/" target="_blank">Bag Adapter Kit</a>. This company was started
outside San Diego by a veteran cake decorator and dedicated mother who was
tired of throwing away pastry bags that were cut to fit only one size pastry
tip. So, Michelle Hageman created a simple device that fits in any pastry bag,
allowing multiple uses with any size pastry tip. Not to mention, Hageman donates
a portion of proceeds to the Autism Speaks foundation. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bag Adapter Kit is the kind of product we seek out. From
Bella Cupcake Couture to Raw Materials Design, ChefTools.com has a history of
marketing products made by small businesses. So on this Small Business Saturday
– just one day after many of us have partaken in the Black Friday shopping
binge at big retailers – consider supporting a small business. Below you’ll
find a list of some small businesses whose products we sell. Who knows, you
might find one that’s in your own backyard. </div>

My grandmother used to cook our Thanksgiving turkey in a disposable tinfoil
“pan” bought in a 5-pack for $2 at the local grocery store. The turkey cooked in this pan for 4 or more hours getting nice and dry while a grease and gristle pooled around it. The result was a bird with dry breasts, thighs, and drumsticks,
and an backside soaked with grease and gristle. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My family ate it and loved it, but it doesn’t have to be
this way for everyone. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today’s roasting pans run the gamut from basic to fancy, but
all generally do the same job: they cook turkey well. Here are 5 reasons you
need to buy a turkey roasting pan now for this Thanksgiving:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Air circulation</b>. This is the secret to any perfectly
browned, perfectly cooked turkey. A roasting pan allows convection air to
circulate in and around every nook and cranny of your turkey. It cooks quickly,
evenly, and your bird gets a perfect all-over tan. </li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Fat</b>. Turkey is pretty lean. In fact, it’s one of the lowest
fat (saturated and other) meats out there. But if your turkey is sitting in a
pit of grease, you’ll be adding on unnecessary and unhealthy calories to your
meal. With a roasting pan, the grease grips off and away from the turkey into
the pan. Save those greasy calories for your famous turkey gravy. </li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Basting</b>. If you’re an anti-brine kind of person, you’ll
probably be doing a lot of basting. And, just like reason No. 1, you may not
want your turkey just sitting in your basting sauce. A roasting pan keeps your
turkey up and away from that murky bath. </li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Versatility</b>. A roasting pan isn’t just for thanksgiving. It’s
for, well, roasting. That could be lasagna, a rack of lamb, potatoes, pork ribs
– anything. It’s the perfect vessel for even cooking any meal. Not only that,
you can hop your roasting pan up on the range and use the drippings to make
roux or gravy.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Easy clean up</b>. When you’re done with that turkey or that
slab of oven-baked macaroni and cheese, your roasting pan cleans up with the
touch of a sponge. If not nonstick, most modern roasting pans are anodized,
making them a breeze to clean up. No more roasted-on grease, cheese, or
whatever. </li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

family to a high quality roasting pan for Thanksgiving. We recommend the <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/RSVP-Hercules-Roasting-Lasagna-Pan-with-Rack/productinfo/02-0361/" target="_blank">RSVP Hercules Roasting & Lasagna Pan</a> (includes rack). Shop all our roasting pans

<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t get me wrong, all the pots, pans, griddles, and
tagines we sell at ChefTools.com are of the highest quality – but that doesn’t
mean that all the pans can do all the things you want.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like my cookware to be very flexible. Can I
throw this pan under the broiler after it’s been on the cooktop? Do I have to
worry about using a lot of oil because, if not, the nonstick coating will burn
off? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Enter Tramontina cookware, what may be the most versatile –
and beautiful – line of pots, Dutch ovens, fry pans and more that we’ve had
around these parts. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For example, the Tramontina Multi-Cooking System allows you
to bake on the stovetop. How? The system comes with a Bundt pan or 2 loaf pans,
plus a riser that suspends the molds above the pan. More importantly, the shape
of the pan recirculates air from bottom to top and back down again, giving the
effect of an oven. In the case of a savory meal – say, a pork loin – the
Multi-Cooking System recirculates moisture, essentially basting your roast for
you. </div>

Almost every Tramontina piece is safe for the oven,
induction, gas, electric, ceramic glass, and dishwasher safe. Sauté, grill,
broil, and clean easily to your heart’s content. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even better – Tramontina cookware is reasonably priced. How
about $34.94 for a 10” fry pan from the Pro 3004 Series. The Pro 3004 pans were
designed by Tramontina to stand up to the rigors of a commercial kitchen, but
still be practical for home use. They’re safe on induction, ceramic glass, gas,
electric and in the oven (and under the broiler). They are treated with Eclipse
nonstick, tested to withstand 700,000 cooking cycles (probably more than you’ll
go through in your home kitchen).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My next favorite is the Prima line of tri-ply stainless
steel pans. You have to love a good stainless steel pan. You can’t kill them
and they cook anything, anywhere. The best part of these Tramontina Prima pans,
though, is the rim. Each pan has a flared rim so you can pour out liquids with
no mess. Everything from bacon grease to braising liquid pours right out with
no extra drips or spills. </div>

I had the rare pleasure last Friday of seeing my Michigan
State Spartans defeat the Boise State Broncos – rare because here in the
Pacific Northwest, Big 10 teams just don’t rate (especially in a sports bar competing for TV time with the Mariners). It made me nostalgic for crisp
autumn days in East Lansing, drinking coffee and grilling hotdogs in the
parking lot outside Spartan Stadium. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now that the college football season is on us, I’m thinking
about heading down to U-Dub (the University of Washington, as it’s known
locally) to recapture those tailgating days. The air may be moister here in
Seattle, but I’m sure the experience will be just as satisfying.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I’m missing something essential for proper tailgating –
gear. I don’t have a single U-Dub sweatshirt, cap, beer cozy, or anything. Where
should I begin? That question was answered last week when the Picnic Time line
of NCAA and NFL-branded picnic chairs and tables<a href="http://www.cheftools.com/NLF-NCAA-Products/products/2139/" target="_blank"> went live</a> on ChefTools.com</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What could be better than a chair specifically designed for
tailgating and other similar outdoor activities emblazoned with my team’s logo?
How about a Picnic Table for four with your team’s logo on it?</div>

I actually had the chance to sit in one of the picnic chairs
recently. The seat was comfortable and firm, not rickety like foldout chairs you
get from big box stores. The best part, though, was the storage compartments; they
attach to the arm of the chair, and there’s room for everything from cups of
cider (alcoholic or non) to cell phones, keys, and pennants. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There’s even a side table for your hot dogs. </div>

I’m targeting a tailgating session with my new U-Dub picnic

di grano arso, or burnt flour orecchiette, is a product of Puglia’s cucina
povera that dates to the Middle Ages. [The orecchiette] came topped with a
chunky tomato sauce, and the distinctive pasta had a nutty, slightly smoky
flavor that shone through clearly. It was unlike anything I’d eaten before.” </span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve spent a lot of time searching for the perfect cup of
coffee - lots of money has gone toward testing high-end (and low-end)
electronic percolators, French presses, the vaunted Chemex, and even homemade vacuum
contraptions a la <a href="http://www.cornerofthecafe.com/breaking-bad-and-specialty-coffee/" target="_blank">Gale Boetticher</a>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What have I learned? Well, I wish someone had just given me
the answer 10 years ago; I would’ve saved time, money, and thousands of taste
buds. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
More importantly, I learned that for perfect coffee you need
3 things: time, low heat, and non-porous equipment (i.e., not plastic or
metal). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also learned that perfect coffee can be yours for <b>around $20.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, I must insert a caveat: everyone has a different coffee
preference. When I say “perfect,” I mean that the coffee has a distinct flavor
with a good – not bitter – aftertaste. The perfect cup is fresh, has no nasty
grinds at the bottom, and doesn’t leave you over-caffeinated. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, here’s my prescription for a perfect cup of coffee:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Equipment</b>: For the brew, look no further than a <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/HIC-Porcelain-4-Coffee-Filter-Cone/productinfo/06-0954/" target="_blank"><b>ceramic or porcelain filter cone</b></a> ($16.25). These surfaces don’t absorb flavors or odors, and don’t
impart flavors (I find that metal and plastic do). The cone shape (as proven
by the Chemex theory) is optimal for flowing hot water into coffee. The
downside is these cones don’t make coffee for more than 1 or 2 people. For
bigger jobs, check out the <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/HIC-Porcelain-Drip-Coffee-Maker/productinfo/04-0080/Source=CrossSell" target="_blank"><b>HIC Porcelain Drip Coffee set</b></a> (also $16.25). You’ll
also need to pick up some filters – <b><a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Beyond-Gourmet-Unbleached-4-Coffee-Filters-100-Pack/productinfo/06-0957/Source=CrossSell" target="_blank">brown recycled ones are best</a></b> ($5.95). </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Water</b>: Acidity/mineral content varies depending on where you live. I
always add a few drops of vinegar to my water. I don’t know if this changes the
PH level for better or worse, it’s just a habit I have. Bring your water to a
boil, but let it cool to between 170 and 180 F before pouring it onto the
coffee. Any hotter and you’ll burn the coffee. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Ratio</b>: Never paid much attention to this. Cone filters are all
roughly same size. I usually fill it up half way or a little less. Most sources
out there, though, will tell you to have a ratio of 1 scoop per 6 ounces of
water. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Coffee</b>: Your brand is your brand, whether you like vanilla-hazelnut
or straight up French roast. One important point you should be aware of is the
difference between Robusto and Arabica beans. Robusto beans are generally
cheaper, less flavorful, and contain a lot more caffeine. I always spring for
the fair trade, shade-grown Arabica beans – more expensive than Folgers, but
you’ll be rewarded (your taste buds and your conscience). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Grinding</b>: OK, this is the expensive part. You should buy
<a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Bodum-Bistro-Coffee-Burr-Grinder-Off-White/productinfo/01-0312/" target="_blank"><b>your own grinder</b></a> ($77), or grind your beans at the store. Pre-ground coffee
just isn’t fresh. If you grind at the store, the freshness of the coffee
decreases practically by the hour. Buy a grinder, and you’re guaranteed fresh
coffee every time. One last point – don’t put your coffee in the freezer; ice crystals might
form on the beans, which damages them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Simple, right? Use porcelain or ceramic cones, mildly-hot
water, and fresh ground beans. Now, if I could just find the perfect way to
brew tea … </div>

Keeping cool can cost calories. A typical homemade ice pop
made with off-the-shelf fruit juice can be about as caloric and sugary as a can
of soda. And calories that come from refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup
might not provide the sustained energy boost you need to survive a scorcher of
a mid-summer day. Luckily, low-calorie, low fat, and high-energy ice pop
recipes exist. Here are a few of our favorites.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(And don’t forget to pick up <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Popsicle-Molds/products/270/" target="_blank">BPA-free ice pop molds</a> in fun
shapes first!) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Coffee Bar</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This one is especially scrumptious for adults, and it truly is iced
coffee. Simple mix and freeze the following ingredients:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
¼ teaspoon of almond extract</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
¼ cup of water</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 cup of <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Manual-Coffee-Makers/products/1299/" target="_blank">brewed coffee</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
½ cup of soymilk</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Tart Lemon/Lime Pop</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pucker up! This recipe combines fresh squeezed citrus juice
and pulp from lemons and limes for a refreshing treat – like an Italian ice,
but with fewer calories. Combine and freeze:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The juice and pulp (no seeds!) of 4 large lemons, 3 limes (find inexpensive hand juicers <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Juicers-Reamers/products/1026/" target="_blank">here</a>)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The zest of 2 limes (the thinner, the better – use an
extremely <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Peelers/products/600/" target="_blank">sharp peeler</a> for best results) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3 tablespoons of sugar-free lemonade mix dissolved in 2 cups
of water</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Iced Tea Pop</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Much less caffeine than the coffee pops (or none, depending
on the tea you use) and a lighter flavor make for a delightful summer treat.
Combine and freeze:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4 cups of your favorite tea – or try <a href="http://www.cheftools.com/Tienxi-Premium-Matcha-Green-Tea-Powder-100-gr/productinfo/13-0774/" target="_blank">green tea powder</a>, which
dissolves in water of any temperature</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The juice of 2 lemons (optional, and probably not good to
use with flavored herbal teas)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tablespoon of sugar</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Watermelon and Mint</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These two flavors complement each other perfectly –
basically, it’s the most refreshing flavor you’re going to taste this summer.
Combine and freeze:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 whole medium-sized watermelon, pureed</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

The juice and zest of 2 limes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tablespoon of sugar</div>
