New! Mauviel French Cookware is Non-Stick, Dishwasher-Safe & Great Looking

by Lynn September 25, 2011

Mauviel has been making world class copper cookware in France since 1830! Copper cookware isn’t for everyone. While I appreciate Mauviel’s beauty and great heat control, copper is just too much work for me. Frankly, if it doesn’t go into the dishwasher, it doesn’t go into my kitchen!

Lamborghini, Maserati, Miyabi. While most will agree that they roll off the tongue easily, most would then sing the Sesame Street tune, “one of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong”. Well, two are Italian sports cars and recently introduced Henckels Miyabi is a line of Japanese knives. [...]

Age Wine in Seconds with the Clef du Vin Wine Aging Tool

by roger November 9, 2009

The Clef du Vin wine aging tool really does age wine! I was a bit skeptical (well, actually, VERY skeptical) when I saw it demonstrated at a show. It’s supposed to “age” a glass of wine by one year for every second you leave the key in the wine. I thought, “Yeah, right, like that’s [...]

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. We looked at and tried the “O” stemless glasses but didn’t think they felt special enough for wine. Plus, given my gracefulness, I was concerned I would too easily dump wine [...]
