Personally, I like to toast marshmallows one-at-a-time, catching each one on fire and letting the exterior burn to a crisp. But most people I know seem to prefer only a slight toasting, and if you're going to be making a bunch of s'mores at once, you might as well use something like this stainless steel S'mores Roasting Rack by Charcoal Companion. It's…
Baking pizza at home seems like it should be a simple project, but it can be a little tricky. The outer crust and the pie center don't always cook evenly, and you might even end up with some burnt zones. The Baking Steel, essentially a flat slab of steel that you use like a pizza stone, will conduct heat more evenly –…
When it comes to kitchen accessories, do you prefer the boring old-school tools, or gadgets that look like they were stolen straight out of a MoMA exhibit? If you're in the latter camp, you should check out the Rösle Pizza Wheel. This beauty is perfect for cutting thin-crust pizzas and flatbread, and it disassembles for easy cleaning. Alternatively, you could just hang…
Coffee not cutting it in the morning? Then it's time to bust out the caffeinated maple syrup. Drink it straight (ew), pour it on your waffles, put it in your oatmeal, there's no wrong way to enjoy this stuff. It's all-natural, and every tablespoon contains more caffeine than an energy drink. Not for the faint of heart, obviously.
Lost more hot dogs and marshmallows to fires than you care to think about? Well, thanks to these curly roasting sticks, those kinds of tragedies can be a distant memory. Made of high-quality, hand-twisted steel, these handy tools will keep your food safe (thanks in part to the sharp end-point being twisted back in towards the dog) so you can focus on…
It's a homemade recipe that uses hand-chopped habanero peppers, honey, and probably a few other secret ingredients. It sounds delicious, but I'm not yet sure how well a couple of designers with english accents who live in northern California can compete against the award-winning sauces found here in Kansas City (the BBQ capital of the world). But I'm willing to take a…
This giant ice cube tray makes 6 ice cubes measuring 2-cubic inches each. The bigger the ice cube the slower they melt. Therefor giant ice cubes are perfect for drinks where you want to keep the liquid cold without diluting it with melted water before you're done drinking it. Examples include iced coffee, soda pop, or your on-the-rocks drink of choice (just…
Here you'll find one of the most effective — and manliest — ways to tenderize your steaks. Alas, this meat tenderizer is illegal in 17 states.
Two things about the knives from New York-based Schmidt Brothers: (1) they offer high quality and longevity for an unusually affordable price; (2) the downtown block is a very cool and unique holding block that uses acrylic magnets embedded inside the wood to hold the knives in place. This 15-piece set was done in collaboration with West Elm and is a great…
Happy Turkey Day. I'll be smoking my turkey in a Weber this year, because real men slow cook their entrées in a smoker. And, what's great about this Weber, is that for the times when you just want to slap a steak on the grill, the Smokey Mountain Cooker converts to a charcoal grill.
This gummy bear is bigger than a football. It weighs 5 pounds and comes in cherry, blue raspberry, and green apple flavors. You could fit 1,000 regular gummy bears in just one of these bad boys.
