A Young Chef Dreams in Chef Wear

Children today have many dreams for their future. They dream of the possibilities of being the president, or becoming a police officer or fire fighter, or hosting their own cooking show. Yes, the chefs on television are impacting children. Becoming a chef is now something children talk about. The Food Network is not just popular with adults, but it is also popular with children. Kids see chefs like Bobby Flay as role models that they can emulate.

This of course means the way kids play is changing. Instead of playing cops and robbers, children are creating master pieces in old pie tins as they play in the sandbox. Wearing chef hats is not silly, but serious play as a leaf tops a "sand cream turnover." The awesome power of imagination is essential to the future chefs of our nation.

Parents can help foster their children's imagination by cooking with them. Invite a child into the kitchen to help create family meals. A kid will have a great time wearing chef wear, and working with mom or dad. This will also help a child see if he or she really enjoys working in actual kitchen. Almost every famous chef working today has a story about being in the kitchen with a parent or significant adult. Perhaps, the next great chef is baking chocolate chip cookies with mom right now.

If a parent does have the next Julia Childs helping in his or her kitchen, he or she should encourage his or her child to work toward the dream of being a chef. A parent can help the dream; give the child a cook shirt. This will help the child learn a good practice of dressing to cook. In a way the parent will be giving the child a cooking uniform, and all great chefs have a uniform.

Season Your Pans for Non Stick Cooking

Nothing is more frustrating than trying to cook a delicious meal and having it stick to the bottom of the pan. A well season or cured pan will make cooking more fun, easier to clean and create better tasting food. There is a saying in the restaurant business; Hot pan - Cold oil. Meaning never put the oil in a cold pan and then heat it up. By heating the pan first and then adding the oil, then immediately the food, you'll have much less sticking. Furthermore if you season the pan when you first purchase it, you will have even better results.

Curing by metal types

Chef Supplies

Stainless Steel - Unfortunately stainless steel cannot be seasoned because of the hardness of the metal. A matter of fact I don't know of a single restaurant which uses stainless steel pan. They are great for storing food because the food won't react with the metal, but horrible for cooking. My advice is just stay away from them altogether.

Aluminum - First wash the pan with soup and water using a sponge or cloth (no steel sponge). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Heat the pan until hot then add two ounces of oil to the pan. Carefully swirl the pan so the oil coats every part of the pan. Let the pan cool. Remove the oil and repeat the process one more time. From this point on, never use soap again. Wash with warm water and dry with a paper towel. If some food does stick us a little salt with oil and a paper towel to remove it.

Teflon and other non stick surfaces - Non stick technology has come a long way over the years and there are dozens of infomercials to prove it. But the truth is even non stick pans will eventually stick. Follow the steps for seasoning aluminum pans and your non stick pans will last longer and perform better. Remember after the first time, never wash with soup again.

Cast iron and wok's - For cast iron and wok's the process is similar, but because of the nature of the metal you'll heat the pans to a much higher temperature. Fist wash the pan with soup and water then dry thoroughly. Heat the pan up until it is very hot. Add two ounces of oil and swirl to coat all sides. Let cool and remove excess oil. Heat the pan up again until it begins to smoke. Add more oil and repeat the process until you've done this three times. Never wash again and always store you pans at any angle or by hanging so they won't rust.

By taking the time to properly season you pans, you will enjoy cooking much more and increase the life of your investment. I recommend spending a little extra money and buying good quality pans and take care of them, in the long run you'll be much happier. Another tip is to never buy pans with plastic or wooden handles because you can't place them in the oven. As you increase you cooking skills you'll find many recipes start on the burner then move to the oven. By having an all metal pan this transition is flawless.

Is Celebrity Cookware Worth Buying?

If there's one question that I get asked almost more than any other, it's a question about celebrity cookware. People want to know if this stuff is worth purchasing and it's very hard to answer this question for a number of reasons.

Chef Supplies

First off, what exactly am I talking about by celebrity cookware? Well, basically I'm talking about any kind of cookware that is produced by a television personality or television chef of any kind. You know the people that I'm talking about, all those cooking shows on television that we all love to watch that are produced by people like:

Chef Supplies

- Rachel Ray
- Martha Stewart
- Jamie Oliver
- Emeril

I'm a big fan of every one of those celebrities...I watch their tv shows whenever I can. Over time, however, you sort of get to notice a pattern that they all fall into. I call this the marketing trap. Basically they start out with the television show, and it becomes wildly popular and their names become an instantly recognizable trademark.

Next, they attempt to cash in on their new fame, usually by creating a cookbook or something small that's easy to produce and easy to manufacture. Of course, the cookbook is usually an instant success which causes them to release another cookbook which is also usually a success...

And then they continue to grow their marketing from there, usually by introducing their own line of celebrity cookware with their name on it. This stuff usually looks absolutely amazing, and that's the trick.

But the fact of the matter remains that these people don't have any experience manufacturing cookware, or anything else that's as complicated as these types of things. Sure a cookbook is easy, but a 12 piece cooking set? They usually team up with a company of some sort who are responsible for actually manufacturing the stuff.

The problem is, in order for the margins to work out they really have to produce questionable products that are as cheap to produce as possible because otherwise the limited production runs won't pay for themselves, no matter how much free advertising they get on the celebrities television show.

Subsequently, this stuff is usually much cheaper than high-quality dishware.

The bottom line is; this stuff will usually hold up pretty well for about a year, or maybe two years at the most and then it starts to warp and breakdown in various different ways, almost always, no matter who the celebrity chef is.

Take my advice and steer clear of this stuff if at all possible. Spend a few extra dollars for some high-quality stuff that will last for years to come.

Working With Stainless Steel in a Traditional Kitchen

When it comes to remodeling a kitchen or buying new appliances, there are many different avenues that you can venture down. There is no right or wrong when it comes to choosing a particular style because it basically boils down to personal preference. One individual may like sleek lines and a modern kitchen while another one prefers a rustic, more traditional type of kitchen. There are key elements that go along with each style such as stainless steel kitchen appliances and cabinet pulls in a modern kitchen and oak cabinets and marble counter tops in a traditional kitchen. However, just because certain elements fit into a style does not mean that those elements are not interchangeable.

Chef Supplies

One way to blend the two styles together is by incorporating stainless steel elements into a traditional kitchen. Appliances in this finish such as stoves, refrigerators and dishwashers can add a modern twist to an otherwise traditional kitchen setup. It is a very neutral material therefore this particular style can fit with any other elements in a kitchen. For instance, stainless steel home hardware can be used in a kitchen that uses white or black kitchen appliances because stainless steel is so versatile that it will match all the other appliances.

Chef Supplies

There are many different ways that you can incorporate stainless steel into a traditional kitchen. One way to do so is by installing stainless cabinet hardware. There are many different types of cabinet hardware to choose from when it comes to appliances and the nice thing about it is that you do not have to have all stainless steel appliances to match. Just having a touch of this finish in your kitchen by installing this particular type of hardware can add just enough of a modern look to your kitchen.

While it may seem like a small element to be concerned about, deciding what kitchen knobs and pulls to install is a very important decision. A lot of times in remodeling the small details are the ones that matter the most. This is very evident when it comes to kitchen cabinet hardware. You can choose to install kitchen cabinet handles that have a lot of intricate detail and embellishments or you can go with a more traditional set of cabinet hardware that incorporates straight lines and slight curves. Either way the kitchen cabinet handles and hardware will add the modern look and style that you are aiming for.

One thing that you want to keep in mind when it comes to remodeling your kitchen is to make sure that your design elements are consistent with one another. While mixing stainless steel kitchen cabinet accessories with white or black appliances is acceptable, mixing and matching other elements may not give off the right look. If you choose to go with stainless steel cabinet hardware you want to make sure that the other accessories and fixtures are also in the same finish. These fixtures include the kitchen sink and faucet as well as the lighting fixtures. Bringing in another design element and color can throw off the whole balance of the kitchen, therefore it is important to stain consistent.
