Meatloaf may be delicious, but that deliciousness comes at a price. While baking in the oven, meatloaf spends a good amount of time stewing in it’s own juices. While fat certainly adds flavor, it is not wanted in quantity. Like a burger on the grill dripping fat down away from the food, the Xtraordinary Home Products Nonstick Meatloaf Pan gives grease an escape–other than the bottom of the oven. And hey, if you miss all that flavor, you can always make gravy out of the drippings.

A cast iron skillet is an essential piece of equipment to have in your kitchen arsenal. Especially when it’s an ax. The Lodge Logic LGSK3 Guitar Skillet comes ready-to-use and measures about 10-inches by 5-inches. Which is considerably smaller than a real guitar, which you probably wouldn’t want to cook with anyway. Unless of course you’re Jimi Hendrix.

It is pretty difficult to avoid the occasional donut. They show up at every meeting, function, and hole-in-the-wall shop. Donuts are delicious. And not very healthy. One way to avoid inevitable donut disasters is to make your own. In the oven. The Wilton Nonstick 6-Cavity Donut Pan is specially designed to keep your donut cravings out of the deep-fryer and into the oven. And of course, if you are amongst the brave, perhaps they could even be made without frosting or icing. Well, it could happen, right?

There is no doubt that cuisine can at times transport one to another place, but that place doesn’t necessarily have to be terrestrial. Proof can be seen in Christopher Jonassen’s book, Devour. What may look like a faraway world is in fact something else quite down to earth: pots and/or pans. Cookware may only last so long, but given immortality through photography, close-up photos offer a new perspective, giving us a glimpse into a world that no longer exists. Or at least should not be used to cook any more meals.

Have a heart this Valentine’s Day… and bake it! Or use the stovetop. Either way, the Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 2-Quart Heart Casserole can handle it. Unlike those dinner reservations that fell through. It pays to be prepared in more ways than one on Valentine’s Day!

Waffles are well known not only for being delicious, but also for having a distinctive shape. Every delicious pocket waits to be filled with syrup, powdered sugar or anything else eaters can come up with. But would it still be a waffle without the pockets? The Nordic Ware Egg Waffle Pan says yes. The uniquely-shaped pan creates inside-out waffles, better known as ‘egg-waffles’. Instead of drowning waffle-pockets in syrup, the idea is to roll it up–with or without a filling–and take it to go. Or better yet, tear apart the individual ‘eggs’ and share for a unique snack.
