Meatloaf Pan Ever wonder how tortillas get that half-moon shape that holds your favorite filling? A tortilla form coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick makes it possible. Heat the form in the oven, then place a tortilla over each hump until cool, turning the flat tortilla into a folded one. The tortilla mold is available through kitchen-supply stores and mail-order catalogs.



Top-Rating for Chicago-Metallic's Loaf Pan  -

The Winner!
Chicago Metallic's loaf pan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick was awarded the prestigious Cook's Illustrated Magazine top rating in the September/October 2000 issue. The loaf pan earned three stars, the magazine's highest rating for easy release and easy cleaning, and was called "a bargain" for the price. The magazine's testers commented that the pan "browned the loaves most evenly, to the deep, golden shade we desire," and they particularly liked the size and style of the pan's handles.

In addition, Chicago-Metallic's professional-grade loaf pan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick garnered the top rating in the professional category for its "impressive browning performances," said magazine judges.

GarlicThis newfangled green stalk looks like something Alice would find in her looking glass, but it's only garlic. The garlic is nice as a garnish, or make a garlic pesto by processing the tops along with 1/4 cup roasted pecans, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup olive oil. Use as a spread on crostini, or serve over pasta or small red potatoes that have been halved and broiled.






Peanut Butter By The Slice  -

Peal and Eat PB?You may soon be able to reach for peanut butter without the jar. Oklahoma State University engineer and entrepreneur Stuart Kennedy has figured out how to make peanut butter peel off paper as some cheeses do. Peel-and-eat peanut butter, he says, will appeal to the folks who use peel-and-eat cheese.
