Do You Need Two?

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

When it comes to buying anything, sometimes more is, well, more.  This is especially true when you’re looking at cookware.  How many times have you had to wait for one batch of muffins to bake before you can start the next batch?  If you had two muffin pans, you could do two batches at once.

That’s why many of our cookware comes in two packs.  While you can purchase one non stick 24 mini canapé tray, if you’re planning on doing a lot of baking, you may want to get our two-pack.  Even if you’re not going to need them both, you may want to purchase one as a gift.  You save on shipping by purchasing them both at the same time, and you even get a slight discount for buying one of our two-packs instead of two single items.

While not every product is available in a package of two, many of our most popular items are.  They include the non-stick 1lb and 2lb loaf dishes, the 24 mini canapé trays, the 6 bun/pudding trays, the 8in flan pans, and our silicone spatulas.  Having two of these items guarantees you won’t have to wait for one item or batch to come out of the oven before you start cooking the next.  With two pans or trays, you can cook more and you can cook faster, all for a great price!

Make Cleaning a Snap with a Teflon Oven Liner

Monday, January 12th, 2009

The bottom of your oven can become very, very messy, especially if you bake a lot of things right on the rack, such as frozen pizzas.  All those little bits of crust and melted cheese accumulate on the bottom of your oven.  Plus, if you accidentally drop something as you’re taking it out of the oven, you’re really in for a mess.  Cleaning the oven is truly a chore, especially since many oven cleaners are harsh chemicals that can make it hard for you to breath.

However, there is one way to make cleaning your oven much easier: purchase a Teflon oven liner.  These liners cover the bottom of your oven, keeping it clean while at the same time allowing you to use your oven like you normally would.  They work for all gas and electric ovens, too.  Even better, they’re dishwasher safe!  All you have to do is pull the oven liner out, throw it in the dishwasher, and you’re done.  You don’t have to deal with those harsh chemicals at all!

There are other advantages to using a Teflon oven liner.  Since you can clean it more often than you probably want to clean the bottom of your oven, you won’t have as much build-up.  This means your food won’t pick up any of the scent or taste of any previously-baked dish.  A Teflon over liner will also last much longer than some cheaper, flimsier oven liners.  While you may need to replace those on a regular basis, this oven liner is strong enough to handle months or even years of wear and tear.

Use a Non Stick Pizza Pan to Bake Your Favourite Pizzas!

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Baking pizzas in the oven can be a pain.  Many people don’t want to take the time to make homemade pizzas, so they throw a frozen pizza right on the oven rack to bake.  However, this can lead to your oven racks and the bottom of your oven getting covered in pizza toppings, especially if the crust isn’t strong enough to hold the toppings or if you accidentally drop it.  However, baking on a round metal sheet can be a pain, too, since you have to try to get the pizza off the pan after its baked.  You also have to be careful that your pizza cutter doesn’t leave marks on the pan.

With a silicon non stick round pizza dish, however, you don’t have to worry about any of this.  You won’t have to deal with frozen pizzas any longer since you can make great homemade pizzas without dealing with the dirty pan afterwards.  In fact, you’ll find yourself eating healthier pizzas - home made pizzas made on a non stick pan require no butter or oil to keep them from sticking.  They also come right off the non stick pan.  However, just because it’s silicon, don’t think its floppy.  This non stick pizza pan is stiff enough to hold up any pizza, even one full of toppings or covered with extra cheese.

In addition to making a great pizza pan, this non stick round pan is perfect for any other baking adventure, including biscuits.  You can also use it as a serving plate for cakes or small snacks.  Like all silicon cookware, it’s easy to clean, can be used in the oven, microwave, or freezer, and is completely dishwasher safe!

Make someone’s Day with a Non-Stick Dish

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Looking for a great birthday or holiday gift can be difficult.  Just what do you get the person who seems to have everything?  Well, if they cook a lot or have a large family to feed, why not get them a great non-stick dish?  One of the most popular non-stick dishes is the non-stick lasagne dish.  Everyone knows just how annoying it can be to try to get a spatula down into the side of the dish and serve up a portion of lasagne without any sticking.  Then there’s the clean up - you know just how difficult it can be to get all of that crusty, stuck part off the sides of the pan. 

A non-stick silicone lasagne dish, however, eliminates all of that!  The dish is stretchy, so you can easily peel away the sides to get every bit of the portion you want.  Since its non-stick, there’s no worry about peeling away parts of the lasagne with the side of the pan, either.  Cleaning the dish is a snap, too.  All you really have to do is wipe it down in hot soapy water and your dish is clean!  Of course, all our silicone cooking gear is completely dishwasher safe, too, so you don’t have to do any hand-washing if you don’t want to.

But there are more great options with a non-stick silicone lasagne dish.  First, it’s safe for both hot and cold temperatures.  You can actually bake your lasagne, take it out of the oven, and immediately put it in the freezer.  The silicone won’t shatter like glass, and there’s no need to bother moving it to another dish.  You can also use the silicone dish in the oven or microwave.  Another great option is that you don’t need to use any sort of non-stick spray or butter, so your food is actually healthier than it would be if cooked in a different type of container!

Of course, just because it’s called a lasagne pan doesn’t mean you can’t use it for other things.  The dish is also great for cooking other types of pasta dishes, casseroles, and even for baking small cakes or a pan of brownies!  Next time you need a gift for a friend or family member, give them a non-stick pan.  They’ll thank you for years to come.

Using Silicone Spatulas

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Are you tired of trying to get something out of a pan using a metal spatula only to scrape up your nice pan?  If so, you may want to invest in a silicon spatula.  There are several advantages to using silicone instead of metal, especially when it comes to cooking food that has a habit of sticking to the surface of your cookware.

Silicone spatulas can do it all.  They can be used to stir up batters and mixes, serve cakes and baked dishes, and even decorate cakes after they’re baked.  Silicon spatulas can also be used to stir very hot dishes.  Spatulas are one of the most multi-purpose items in your kitchen, so it only makes sense to have spatulas that will last for quite some time.  Plastic spatulas have a tendency to break, especially if you apply a lot of pressure to them.  Metal spatulas won’t, but they can damage your cookware.  A silicone spatula, however, combines the best features of the two: they are durable like metal yet won’t damage anything.

With all of that, you may expect to find silicone spatulas very expensive.  However, while you will pay a bit more for them, you obviously get a high-quality product that will last for years and can serve many different purposes.
