A
two-piece meatloaf pan coated with DuPont SilverStone®
non-stick is changing the way to make this classic
beef dish. The mixed loaf of meat and spices is
placed into a pan with drain holes. Any oil and
fat released by the meat drains into another non-stick
pan which holds the main pan. This pan also allows
air to circulate around the meat so the loaf will
retain moisture without the fat. * pan courtesy of Chicago-Metallic.
There's
a new line of seasonings that can flavor your
meals as well as your knowledge of history and
art. The Nantucket Offshore Seasonings Co. of
Nantucket, Massachusetts, is drawing attention
to their line of meat, poultry, fish, and vegetable
rubs by packaging them in round tins. Each of
the eight tins has original artwork, a catchy
name and some historical information about the
subject pictured.
The
St. Remy Rub contains Provencal herbs (rosemary,
basil, marjoram, savory, fennel seed, and lavender).
St. Remy, located in the South of France, is where
artist Vincent Van Gogh was inspired to paint
many of his famous masterpieces. But, on the tin
he's holding barbecue tools rather than paint
brushes!
Others
include the Raj Rub, identified by the colorful
elephant, contains an Indian blend of coriander,
cinnamon, cloves, and coconut. And, the Renaissance
Rub, containing Italian oregano, minced garlic,
sesame seeds, and dried tomatoes, has the Mona
Lisa holding a spatula and fork!
Zany
shapes of gourmet macaroni from Italy now offer
cooks a new range of possibilities for recipes.
A tri-color vegetable pasta made with durum wheat
flour from the Apulia region (distributed through
Crystal Foods Import Corporation) seems to be
the boldest of new shapes, made with a variety
of ingredients that give the pasta lots of color.
Linguine di suocer (mother-in-law's tongue), for
example, includes stripes of spinach, beet, orange,
saffron, and tomato.
The
sombrero pasta is perfect for stuffing and is
cooked similar to a stuffed shell. Drop the festive
hats into boiling water for a minute and drain.
Stuff with a Ricotta mixture, top with sauce and
bake. Smaller one-inch sombreros are great just
with sauce, as it gets caught in the bowl of the
hat.
Others
include pasta shaped like the head of a tulip
(also great for catching sauce), as well one that
resembles a sponge, a miniature striped cannelloni,
and a pasta in the shape of a cornucopia. A light
brown-black colored pasta means it was made with
cuttlefish
or squid ink. This type of pasta may be expensive,
as much as $10.95 per pound.
