Baking for the Holidays

by Lynn December 13, 2010

Holidays make me feel like a Keebler Elf. I just love to bake and love baking with quality bakeware. I really like to watch people enjoy my cookies, especially at Christmas. And, as a side bonus, when I bake cookies, I never eat them. Great way to control calories during the eating season! I eat [...]

At MetroKitchen, we decided to celebrate a bit early this year. Our 2011 holiday party was the result of a Turducken. Last week we had a few customers call us about roasting pans.

Called an anti-fatigue mat, the Wellness Mat lives up to its name. A friend who does lots of catering says that her feet and back used to kill her after 4 or 5 hours of standing. And she’s only 30! Now, with a Wellness mat, she’s happy (and her husband is very happy because she [...]

by Lynn November 5, 2010

Sorry it’s been so long since we’ve posted to our blog! We’ve been working to improve our online kitchen store so it’s easier for you to use. It looks nicer (we think). as the previous look was rather dated, harking back to when we first came online 11 years ago. Our new site also has [...]

by Lynn May 14, 2009

Roux has forever intimidated me. I always burn it then have to resort to the instant roux. But, for a recent New Orleans-themed celebration, I decided it was time to go for the real stuff. Great news! Roux is not that difficult. No reason to be intimidated. It takes some time…but not as much as [...]

by Lynn December 15, 2008

I’ve been wanting to use my new Viking 7 quart stand mixer and its many attachments for a few weeks. Finally, I was able to try it out vs. my old stand-by KitchenAid mixer. In short, I LOVE the Viking stand mixer! It made a great batch of “Chippies,” a family favorite for three generations.

The weekend of wine tasting and testing

by Lynn October 29, 2007

It was exciting to get to use some new MetroKitchen.com wine brands. First are the Riedel wine glasses in the new Riedel Tyrol style.
