noreply@blogger.com (Rick) — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:30:00 +0000

Emile Henry's new Pizza Stone, from their Flame ceramic cookware line, is a great way to cook a pizza in the oven or on top of a grill. The idea behind a pizza stone is to distribute the heat evenly accross the pizza base and secondly to extract the moisture, so that the pizza dough is crispy. High temperature and even distribution of the heat across the base of the pan is key for cooking pizza - a pizza stone is the best for achieving this.

Cupcake Decorating Ideas

noreply@blogger.com (Rick) — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:00:00 +0000

Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set - Creates Filled Cupcakes Delightful and Surprising Biting into a cupcake filled with cream, icing or ganache is an incredible, surprising treat. Home cooks and kids can make filled cupcakes like a pro with the new Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set. Unfilled cupcakes will soon seem boring. The kit includes every tool needed to create and decorate filled cupcakes: a cupcake corer, two cupcake squeeze bottles, two decorating tips and a cupcake offset spatula. The cupcake corer creates uniform cavities for filling with frosting, cream, ganache, candy or jelly. The corer requires a simple twist and pull so it is easy and mess free. The plastic corer is safe for kids to use and it features a guard to prevent the corer from being inserted too far into the cupcake. The plunger pushes out the cupcake core with ease and the plunger snaps out for cleaning. The two transparent, easy-grip squeeze bottles are designed to compress together like an accordion. This action is much easier to control than the action needed for typical squeeze bottles that need to be clenched and squeezed in the hand. The squeeze bottles holds about a cup so few refills of icing are needed. A round decorating tip creates delicate lines for words and borders and a floral decorating tip is ideal for creating designs and for filling the cupcake cavity. An offset cupcake spatula is sized for the job of icing cupcakes and making artistic touches. The entire Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set is top-shelf dishwasher safe and retails for $20. The Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set is backed by a 25-year warranty. View the Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set. For more cupcake ideas download the Cuisipro Cupcake Corer Ideas

Celebrate Bastille Day on July 14 with A French Garden Party

noreply@blogger.com (Rick) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:00:00 +0000

Celebrate the French Revolution and Bastille Day on July 14 with a French Garden Party with some simple French alfresco foods: a French baguette, a fresh green salad, and shrimp on the barbecue. Make the meal authentic with a pot of beans and vegetables simmered slow on the grill in an Emile Henry Flame-Top pot.

Bastille Day is the French national holiday that commemorates the beginning of the French Revolution and the storming of the Bastille. Celebrated in France in much the same way that Americans celebrate Independence Day on July 4th.

Flame-Top cookware is made of a flameproof ceramic. It is designed to go directly on a heat source; gas flame, an electric or halogen stove, even a barbecue grill. Flame-Top cookware is much lighter, 30%, than comparable metal cookware and yet it is a heavy duty, durable workhorse. It is microwave and dishwasher-safe where metal cookware is not. Its' surface cleans up easily and it is so durable that a cook can cut directly in the cookware - even with an electric knife without fear of scratching, chipping or cracking the surface. Flame-Top goes under the broiler and directly from a freezer or refrigerator into a hot oven.

Take summer entertaining by storm with this French cookware. To find out more about Flame-Top watch our Flame-Top Cookware video with Jacques Henry, President of Emile Henry.

NATIONAL ARTHRITIS AWARENESS MONTH

noreply@blogger.com (Rick) — Wed, 05 May 2010 16:22:00 +0000

Participate in NATIONAL ARTHRITIS AWARENESS MONTH by using Emile Henry Flame cookware.

30% Lighter than cast iron cookware

Emile Henry has partnered with the Arthritis Foundation to help raise money and awareness for the Arthritis Foundation and the 46 million people who suffer from arthritis and related conditions. Emile Henry Flame-Top cookware, which is 30% lighter than comparable metal cookware is the focal point for this campaign. Flame-Top requires less strength and effort to carry and lift, and the surface is easy to clean, aiding those that want to continue to enjoy their culinary activities in spite of the restrictions that arthritis and similar conditions may cause.

The all-natural Flame-Top cookware is made of a flameproof ceramic designed to go directly on a heat source: gas flame, electric, halogen, even a barbecue grill. It cleans up easily, requiring very little effort. Because the cookware is ceramic, it is lighter weight, microwave and dishwasher safe and naturally nonstick. Flame-Top can be used under the broiler and be removed directly from a freezer or refrigerator and placed into a hot oven. Emile Henry Flame-Top cookware carries a three-year guarantee. Emile Henry is located in the Burgundy town of Marcigny.

The Arthritis Foundation is the only national not-for-profit organization that supports the more than 100 types of arthritis and related conditions. The Arthritis Foundation is the largest private, not-for-profit contributor to arthritis research in the world, funding more than $380 million in research grants since 1948. The foundation helps people take control of arthritis by providing public health education; pursuing public policy and legislation; and conducting evidence-based programs to improve the quality of life for those living with arthritis.

CELEBRATE EARTH DAY April 22, 2010 by Going Green with Emile Henry!

noreply@blogger.com (Rick) — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:00:00 +0000

All Emile Henry cookware, bakeware and tableware products are made from all natural ingredients from the earth. The slip, or Burgundian clay mixture, is made from clay which has decomposed from rock within the earth's crust for millions of years. The clay is removed from the hills of Marcigny and surrounding towns and combined with other natural raw materials like quartz and water to make the cookware, bakeware and dinnerware. The glazes are also made from natural ingredients, glass and metals. There are no chemical additives Emile Henry is made in France by a family owned and operated factory and each product is guaranteed safe for the life of the product. There is no interior coating that can peel off or leak out. Consumers don’t have to worry about products being recalled. Metal cookware and bakeware, on the other hand, is frequently coated with chemical nonstick coatings that could eventually peel or chip off. Emile Henry products are made in an environmentally friendly factory where all packaging is recyclable and made from recycled materials. Pallets, paper bags and cartons are recycled through paper factories. After the useful life of a plaster mold is finished and any damaged or discarded pieces during the manufacturing processes are recycled through cement factories that then use the powdered plaster in their cement mixes. All water that is used for finishing and deglazing is recycled through the factory. None of the water leaves the various facilities. And the carbon oxide and gases that escape from the kilns are filtered so that no noxious or unhealthy gas escapes into the environment. According to Jacques Henry, President & Owner of Emile Henry, “It’s important to work hard to preserve nature and control our impact on the environment”.

Collapsible Colander from Rosle

noreply@blogger.com (Rick) — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:40:00 +0000

For your spring salads and fruits, use the RÖSLE Collapsible Colander. The award winning Collapsible Colander from RÖSLE combines the strength and stability of stainless steel with the non-stick, flexible properties of silicone. The product is sturdy, easy to clean and saves storage space. The 8inch and 10inch diameter colanders are manufactured with metal frames that include handles and bases that allow cooks to safely carry the colanders from counter to sink or sink to pot. The partial use of silicone offers the useful properties of silicone without the limitations. A colander made of just silicone, for instance, is flimsy and wobbly. The combination of materials has instead created sturdy yet flexible colanders. The silicone cleans up easily and the sides compress to a compact, flat circle that fits snugly into a drawer or cabinet. Also, works well as steamer and pasta insert.
