The Perfect Kitchen

A busy commercial or household kitchen definetly requires the perfect equipment to operate successfully. Whether you're feeding 3 or 300 you not only want that food to look good, you want it presented on something stylish and sturdy.

It's really important for me I guess, to have the right utensils when I'm cooking. As you can imagine, having a busy food blog requires trying different recipes and new things all the time. I need to have confidence that the pots and pans I'm using are going to do the job correctly. God knows, I've worked in many restaurants in the past where the owners took no pride in the equipment they used. The $$$ they spent were unbelievable!!! If only they had made the correct investment in the first place, they could have saved themselves a lot of trouble and money.

And speaking of investments. Have you had a good look in your own kitchen lately? Maybe it's time you invested in some great new dinnerware. I like the feel of strong, white dinner plates when I'm serving food. I also like shiny, strong stainless steel cutlery. As a matter of fact, I want my kitchen to have the best tools for all my catering needs. I think we should all want that. Check out instawares. They have all the resources to help you set up that perfect kitchen.

Have You Met the Muffin Man?

Ten years ago, I first became aware of the dangers of nonstick cookware from a student who had a pet bird. Apparently, when you cook with nonstick cookware, it gives off a gas that can be fatal to pet birds. If nonstick cookware is fatal to pet birds, isn't this the canary in the cave for human use of nonstick cookware?

I have since given away all of our nonstick cookware, except the muffin pans. I could find no alternative material for muffin pans in any store. My children love to make and eat muffins. They are quick and easy to make, and you can pack them full of whole grains, nuts, and fruit. Cooking with your child is fun and ensures they will eat healthy foods. Children love to eat what they have made, and cooking provides an opportunity for authentic measuring tasks.
