Come celebrate National Coffee Day with these three great products for making the perfect cold-brew coffee.  The 2 Qt. Clear Square Polycarbonate Food Storage Container with a Seal Cover is the perfect way to not only keep your coffee fresh but also a great way to store the iced coffee while it is seeping. The container is available in various sizes, but for stackability I recommend the 2 quart and 4-quart sizes. The added bonus is that seal lid for these two sizes is the same! These clear Polycarbonate square containers can withstand temperatures from -40 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Once that coffee is completed, I like to transfer some of it into the American Metalcraft Silicone ice cube mold. This mold will […]

Come celebrate Ice Cream Sundae Day this month with these three picks for setting up and enjoying the perfect ice cream sundae!!  The Waring spice grinder is a great multipurpose grinder. This commercial spice grinder is the perfect tool for grinding those fresh nuts to add a tasty topping. The unit comes with three fully removable, dishwasher safe stainless steel grinding bowls with stainless steel blades. The unit also comes with an interlock on the top lid to ensure there is no unintended or dangerous operation. For me, the best feature is that the button is a pulse control so the nuts can be coarsely or finely ground. The American Metalcraft Hammered Stainless Steel Compartment Condiment Holder is a great way to […]

Come celebrate National Chocolate Mousse Day with this month’s top picks. The American Metalcraft Stainless Steel mixing bowls are what I use for two applications of the chocolate mousse. The first application is over the double boiler to whip the eggs. The second is folding the mousse all together. These bowls are made from high-quality stainless steel that will prevent rust or corrosion. These bowls are built for withstanding both hot and cold temperatures and come in ten sizes that range from 21 to 576 ounces. For melting chocolate, I use the Cambro 2Qt. High Heat Amber Measuring Cup.  There is a handle which makes pouring easy and the side allows for a rubber spatula to get all the chocolate out to ensure […]

In honor of National Bratwurst Day, check out these three products to ease the process of enjoying a sizzling hot bratwurst and cold beer! The Waring countertop griddle is the ideal solution for facilities that are looking to save space or create a unique action station. This compact, heavy-duty electric griddle offers the best of both worlds– durability and performance along with a stainless-steel cook top. Just like traditional gas griddles, there is an adjustable thermostat that has a maximum temperature of 570 degrees, but perhaps the best feature are the splash guards along the sides and back to prevent grease splatters. Combine the splash guards with the 11-inch easy to remove grease trap and there should be no reason […]

The beginning of baseball season also brings the beginning of the grilling season and National Hotdog Day. Here are three products designed to make grilling easier! The American metalcraft two-sided broiler (grill) brush is my go-to for keeping the grill clean before, during and after cooking. Dualsided, with one side is semi-stiff, the other extra-stiff, this brush offers a tempered stainless-steel scraper on the side for those stubborn burned-on foods. What makes this my go to brush is the fact that it has a 31-inch handle that is metal threaded to the brush head.  This feature allows me to get extra power to remove the residue without fear of getting burned. Cooper-Atkins has developed the easiest pocket thermometer not to get lost, the […]

Each month, I want to provide three products from my professional career that I think universally will upscale any hospitality event, home, restaurant or catering. These products are dependable and things I personally have used. American Metalcraft Moscow Mules, 16 oz in hammered black brass color is perfect for the outdoor farm to table look. Whether sitting by the fire pit with friends or family, or outside your favorite city restaurant, these mule mugs are a great option. The benefit of these durable mugs is that it comes in a color other than copper. These are stainless on the inside and come in a hammered or flat finish. These are a must have for any home or business if you’re serious […]
