December 23rd, 2009 — Cooking, Resturants
The other day I was Babysitting family friend, 9 year old Lily, when she requested to go to MILK Cafe. While in MILK I ran into executive pastry chef, Dave Baker, who was telling us about an amazing new Ice Cream he Dreamt up. As soon as he said red velvet cake batter with cream cheese ice cream swirl my mouth started watering! And oh my God was it good! My heart has always belonged to Coldstone Creamery’s cake batter ice cream, But my new number 1 is this red velvet marvel. It’s available in pints in the Freezer section at MILK or for Special Order. So run don’t walk for this seasonal holiday treat!

Three Tiered Oven Rack
When oven space is at a premium, this stacked rack saves the day. Place it on one half of an oven rack and bake several side dishes while the main fare cooks alongside. Sized to accommodate bakeware up to 4″ high, the rack is crafted of rustproof stainless steel and is sturdy enough to hold three levels of heavy casseroles. It folds flat for storage. $22.00
Brining Bags
The best way to get flavorful poultry, regardless of how it is prepared, is to start with a brine. Brining adds moisture and flavor to poultry and helps to keep it from drying out. Our heavy-duty, leak-proof bags make an easy task of brining pork and poultry. The small size can hold a pork loin or 5-lb. chicken; the larger, a 23-lb. turkey. Each plastic bag has a double zipper-seal top for secure closure. Set of 4 for $16.00
Flavor Injector
Here’s a fast way to impart rich flavor and tender juiciness to meats and poultry. Through an easy-to-handle syringe, this stainless-steel tool inserts marinades and other liquid flavorings deep into foods before cooking. It’s ideal for roasting, barbecuing and deep-frying – and great for turkeys and other roasts. $19.00
Potato Scubbing Gloves
Use these gloves to scrub potatoes and other vegetables clean while preserving the nutrient-rich skin. $12.00
Gravy Separator
When you’re making gravies, sauces and soups, this cup quickly separates meat and poultry juices from fat while the removable strainer eliminates the need for a separate sieve. Just fill the cup with drippings – fat rises to the top, and the low spout pours off the juices. $24.00
Deluxe Angeld Potato Ricer
When it comes to making the perfect mashed potatoes, nothing beats the efficiency of our potato ricer. Unlike a traditional masher, this tool extrudes boiled potatoes in fluffy rice-like grains, incorporating air in the process. Just place potatoes in the extra-large hopper and press the removable handle. The hopper is perforated on all sides for maximum yield, and rubber-coated ridges allow the ricer to rest on pots without scratching them. $32.00
