The Yolkr™

Separating egg yolks from the whites can sometimes be a messy task that can result in broken yolks and raw egg covered fingers. Seasoned chefs can even tell you that sometimes the old egg just doesn’t break how it was expected too and that can cause a problem in recipes and diets where either the yolk or whites needs to be omitted. Well in steps a handy little gadget that will help to alleviate all of your egg working woes and its name is Yolkr™. Made from high-grade toxin-free plastic that is dishwasher safe, this a cool toy to have in the house so that people can be amazed at all the fun stuff you own and they don’t.

Imagine Getting Thumped Upside The Head With This...

The Worlds Largest Spatula.

Miyabi Birchwood 7 Piece Block Set

Authentically Japanese in design, each knife has 101 layers of steel—50 layers clad on each side of the CRYODUR-hardened SG2 microcarbide steel core—forming a delicate Damascus pattern with 63 Rockwell.

Each blade in the set is hand-honed using a traditional three-step honbazuke process. 

It’s sharpened twice on whetstones with custom grits, followed by mirror polishing on a leather wheel.

The genuine hamon edge, the visible line where flexible outer layers and incredibly hard core layer meet, is reminiscent of legendary Japanese swords in its scalpel-like sharpness and remarkable edge retention. 

A hamon edge is a sign of superior craftsmanship.

The D-shape of the natural Masur birch handle creates a comfortable grip and provides tireless cutting even with frequent use. Handle features an intricate mosaic center pin, red detailing and engraved endcap. 

Hand wash. Sharpen with Miyabi sharpening stones.

Le Creuset, Culinary Artistry With A Sense Of Style

It’s a well known fact, when someone makes a large purchase that proves to be worth its hefty price tag years down the line, they feel good about their decision making abilities and themselves. Especially if that product is something that is going to see years of rigorous work, sometimes day after day depending on ones style. No one likes to buy something and have it quickly break only to have a loud mouth friend or relative say those 7 annoying words “Well, You Get What You Pay For.”

Cooking and serving ware are no different. In fact you have to really take a look at what you are using while cooking or serving a meal and see what it says about your personal sense of style. Yes we all have a few cherished pots, pans, skillets and plates that match nothing in our cupboards, but we clutch onto them dearly like a scared old lady does her handbag in an elevator, for sentimental reasons.

But all of that has nothing to do with purchasing something for yourself, now does it? With that said, take a look at the following Le Cresuet products and think about how having a matching set of cooking and serving ware creates an ambiance, pulls together a room and quickly sets the tone for what should presumably be an amazingly cooked meal.

In Caribbean Blue, the Small Oval Serving Bowl (18oz) is perfect for holding just about anything you could wish to bring to the table in large amounts before dishing out individual portions.

In the same Caribbean Blue color way you can also get the new Le Creuset Wok Dish, which is sure to get a few looks from their stylish approach to the classic design of a Wok. This dish is great because of its Versatility, as it can go from the oven or microwave straight to the table (a great way to spruce up some take out you brought home trying to impress your date.)

Everyone should own a fresh pitcher to serve some drinks from. Every now and then people want to have fresh Lemonade, Sangria, grown up Kool-Aid or whatever kind of libation you may feel like sipping on and you don’t want to be the person pulling out that plastic pitcher with the twist off lid your mama had when you were a kid. This version is heavy, so it wont be easily knocked over but yet not so heavy no one can pick it up to pour from it.

We have said it time and time again. Le Creuset makes products that are well beyond the worth of what the price tag says it costs. I have a pot that has been handed down a few times and is over 50 years old. I have never had any issues using it, cleaning it or storing it. The great things about Le Creuset is, they offer a variety of colors to fit everyone’s lifestyle and home decorating choices and they make products that will truly last a lifetime.

Le Creuset, Bold Colored Products Built To Last A Lifetime

When your wish is to create some form of a masterpiece in the kitchen, you really need to have the right tools, a little bit of knowledge as to what, where, why and how your doing what your doing and a few key skills when using your tools and equipment.

Le Creuset, a brand who since 1925 has built a reputation for uncompromised quality, creates products that are workhorses in the kitchen.

To-Go Ware. A Brand Inspired By Saving Our Planet.

Current day dilemmas such as the lack of space for safe landfills, little to no uplifting employment, and even less resources and or money are causing people to be forced to rethink their approach to each and every meal they wish to digest.

But what about the people who have to eat on the go daily, with meals they have prepared at home? Not everyone can afford to eat out daily when they are barely making enough to cover their bills right? But then lets face it, no one wants to the guy or girl who is seen shuffling in multiple plastic wrapped plates with a bag of clanging silverware daily into the office every single day. 

And do we really need to speak about how the responsible adult in all of us, should not continue to allow ourselves to throw away millions of pounds of plastic cups, silverware and paper plates daily?

This Isn't Your Mothers Blender (But It Should Be Yours.)

Blenders these days are available in an abundance and are being built to serve a multitude of functions. Some are meant to merely chop and erase the hard work it takes to slice and dice a few items, while others are built to perform a wide range of culinary tricks that help enhance every single dish, drink and dessert they touch.

Creating perfect emulsifications, soups and smooth purees for one of the billions of dishes being made today in homes and restaurants around the globe, requires a solid piece of equipment that can perform time after time (without fail.)

Chef’s and bartenders alike know the name Vitamix^® and now so should you.

For those of you who watch Iron Chef or any one of the other million or so cooking shows you may have noticed that 9 times out of 10 the Chefs are relying on this brand, simply because they work EVERYTIME.

Before now Vitamix^® were a bit expensive for the average household to own because let’s face it how often does the typical household use a blender?

From the innovating leader in professional-grade blenders, the new Vitamix^® Professional Series 500 enables you to dial up hundreds of healthy and delicious culinary masterpieces. 

This is the first Vitamix^® model with three preprogrammed settings – Smoothies, Frozen Desserts and Hot Soups – to help home chefs make gourmet meals like the pros.

Mac Knives MTH-80 Chef Knife Review (Revisited)

To some people cutting vegetables into fine dices and breaking big sides of various proteins down into serving size portions is just impossible. Well then again in this day and age some people probably think cows just fall into the cuts of steak we eat when they magically pass away. 

When taking into consideration the amount of skill needed to pull off fine dining plating skills, one must consider the tools used and how much of an important roll they really play. 

True many of us know some great cooks (in their houses) who perform night after night, creating amazing dishes that could stand up against any top rated chef in the nation. But when your paying top dollar for something, to put it bluntly it better look good damn it.

I love being able to check the mailbox and finding some brand new products just yearning to be tested out. Yesterday I walked in to find a package from the good guys over at Mac Knife Inc. After checking out some of our reviews they offered to throw their products into the arena, against some of the other high ends brands you have seen and will be seeing over the next few days. To make the story simple and sweet, Mac came in and cleaned the kitchen out.
