Icy Pops and more cool, sweet treats

Do You ZOKU Yet?The heat's on, time to chill out! Nothing refreshes more than icy cold, fruity treats that cool from the inside out. Whether you eat your frozen confection from a stick or with a spoon, there are so many flavors to be explored and enjoyed in frozen form. Summer already seems too short!

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we're freezing our own sweet treats. We ride the renaissance of icy pops with homemade versions that are full of fruit and no artificial anything. If you prefer a spoon, it's never been easier to churn the best tasting ice creams, sherbets, and sorbets. Relax some and chill out.

Ken's Notes


All-Clad Sale

Save 20%!  

 

Those are two words you never see together, All-Clad and Sale! It turns out that All-Clad is retooling their entire cookware line and they've authorized all of their retailers to go ahead and discount their current stock to make room for the new lines. We stock their stainless MC2 and 5 ply LCD2 lines, and both are on sale for 20% off. If you're an All-Clad fan, this is your last chance to stock up on these lines before the new models appear next month.

 

Le Creuset

Le Creuset Arrives!

 

We had so many customer requests for Le Creuset that we finally made the leap and brought the line in - and we're glad that we did! Le Creuset has been making traditional cast iron and ceramic cookware since 1925, and during that time has always set the standard that everyone else has had to aspire to. We're stocking a variety of colors and a mix of both cast iron and ceramic. Personally, I love the new Fennel color, although Caribbean runs a close second.


The Original Whirley Pop  


Since everything in this issue is about sweets I figured I had to bring in a "salty" element.  If you like popcorn you'll love the Whirley Pop. With only one teaspoon of oil you can cook up to six quarts of delicious popcorn in only three minutes on your stovetop. Besides THe Original Whirley PopKettle Corn, Real Theater style and Amish County Popcorn, we're also stocking a variety of flavorings like White Cheddar and Sweet Carmel. The Whirley Pop is a fresh and healthier alternative to microwave popcorn.
