La Cintura Fish Poacher

Filed under: Dining

This may very well be one of the most expensive pieces of cookware in the world, and certainly must be the most expensive fish poaching pan. The La Cintura Fish Poacher is made of heavy-gauge copper and has a nickel plated interior, stainless steel lid, rack and handles. It can hold up to 12-quarts of water and, at 23.5" x 8" x 4", is large enough for most of the fish you can buy commercially, though you certainly won't be able to fit in a swordfish if you're an ocean sport fisherman. Price: $965.

Wege Grillpan

Filed under: Dining

The Wege Grillpan is a creation of Finnish designer Mikko Laakkonen. Made of lasting cast iron and with a heat-resistant birch handle, the grill pan has all the useful features of a traditional iron pan - including even heat distribution, high head capacity and superior searing and browning abilities - with an unusual twist. The bottom of the pan has a raised design, so everything you cook in the pan will bear unique markings. Once properly seasoned, the design should not affect the outcome of your cooking. The pan measures 10.5" in diameter, excluding the handle. Price: $220.

Chefs Remote Thermometer

The Chefs Remote Thermometer works in much the same way as a baby monitor, allowing you to keep track of what is happening in another room without having to be there. The transmitter base has a meat thermometer attached to it. The receiver has a range of 100-ft. and receives remote temperature updates from the thermometer. An audible alert lets you know when your meat reaches the appropriated level of doneness, with preset levels from rare to well done and custom levels that you can set yourself. This frees up the chef to work on the rest of the meal or watch the big game on TV while the main course is cooking without having to get up and check on it. The thermometer works both indoors and outdoors. Price: $49.95.

Cook-N-Dine Dawson Teak Table

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

Working over a grill can take you away from guests at a backyard cookout, since heat and smoke are not generally what people want to gather around. Of course, if you have an electric cook-top built into your table, you avoid all the downsides of grilling, while everyone can pitch in and prepare delicious food together. The Cook-N-Dine tables, like this Dawson Teak Table, all have a stainless steel cooktop embedded in their center. During operation, the electric cooking surface on the table can heat up to temperatures of 430F and also sinks down slightly due to a patented process as it cooks the food. The outside of the table, the dining area, is completely unaffected by the cooking process. While Cook-N-Dine makes tables that are all metal, this table is one that is a modified version of a design by Ascot Teak. It comes in two heights, 30 and 40-inches, and is 59-inches in diameter. It can be used indoors as well as outdoors, so you'll be able to make the most of your table year round, not just during the summer grilling season. Prices (on sale) starts at $3922.

Kuppersbusch Induction Wok Cooktop

by Gustad Mody (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Dining

The round bottom of the wok is designed to circulate heat quickly and evenly, while keeping the food in constant motion, exposing the maximum amount of food surface to heat in a short time. The Induction Wok by Kuppersbusch was made to do all of this without the danger and expensive energy needed to put out 65,000 BTU of flame. It uses electromagnetic energy to heat only the metal wok and not the surface, which will stay cool to the touch at all times. This piece would look great in that luxury kitchen or urban style loft. Hi-tech cooking at hi-tech prices: retail is $3,500 for one spot.
