The Must Haves

by  Chef Ouattara on November 01, 2009
CN-essentials
  1. Artful Winemaker
    Would you like to learn to make your own wine? Thanks to this amazing hands-on winemaking set now you can! Complete with grape concentrate, instructional video, wine labels, and 12 wine bottles, this is a must have for all wine enthusiasts. Makes a great gift for the holidays. Purchase price range is $60-$160.00. www.napastyle.com
  2. Cookstar Induction Pro
    Need extra cooking space in your kitchen to impress your guests as you cook up a recipe from Cuisine Noir’s Chef’s Corner? Well in the words of Scarface; “Say hello to my lil friend.” Brought to you by Fissler, this German crafted, brilliantly engineered portable stove will quickly become part of your cooking repertoire. As versatile as it is functional, it can be used as extra burner, buffet warmer, or for patio meals at cookouts. And it is powerful enough to boil water in about a minute. Another perk is that it also comes with a three year warranty. Purchase price is $299.00. www.fisslerusa.com
  3. Silicon Rack and Lift
    Your roasting rack just got a makeover, distinctly in red. Trudeau has figured out a way to improve the benefits of using a roasting rack with ease. This silicon rack is large enough to hold a roast, turkey, ham, or large chicken. The side handles lock together making it very easy to pick up, tripod feet raise the rack from the bottom of the pan and any extra fat is drained below. Wow. Best of all, the rack is oven and dishwasher safe. Purchase price is $19.99.
  4. Prensus
    This is a classic solution for an all too common problem. Ladies, now you don’t have to worry about where to put your clutch or purse at the dinner table because with Prensus, you can just place it right next to you. This multi-purpose portable hanger fits right into your bag for convenience. You can hang it right next to your chair at the table or on the side of your chair. Either way, it is off the floor and always in your sight. We never go to dinner without it! It holds up to 25 lbs. Purchase price is $19.99. www.prensusphd.com
  5. Turkey Lifters
    Love cooking turkey but dread the idea of having to move it in fear that you might drop it? Well thanks to Crate and Barrels’ Turkey Lifters, you have another way to move your turkey from the roasting pan to the carving board with ease. The Lifters are made of stainless steel and are extremely sturdy and easy to use. Just what you need for Thanksgiving dinner. Purchase Price is $19.99. www.crateandbarrel.com
  6. Mama’s Backwoods BBQ Sauce
    Some may say that once you have had one BBQ sauce, you have had them all. Well not true. Mama’s sauce is not like anything that we have tasted. It is fresh, tangy, sweet, and down right yummy. Of course it is great with meat, but sauté some vegetables and add a little sauce to liven things up and watch your taste buds really come alive. Available in three delicious flavors: Original, Spicy and Sweet ‘n’ Sassy. Purchase price is $8.00. www.mcraesfoods.com
