Hands down, the best deal today on kitchen towels is at Target. These 100% cotton Flour Sack Towels are super soft and huge at 30 X 30 inches. The best thing about them is 6 towels for $6.00. If you are like me and clean as you go in the kitchen using a lot of towels, this is a great deal.
The Made In Carbon Steel Wok is an all business pan for your kitchen.
Manufactured in France, it comes nicely packaged with a set of instructions on a few simple seasoning steps to get it going. You can season with most high smoke point oils or purchase the Made In Wax, a combination of grapeseed oil, canola oil, and beeswax.
It’s a well-made pan weighting in at 4lbs 6.8oz. Lighter than cast iron but heavier than your stainless-steel fry pans. The 9-inch curved handle makes it easy to manipulate the pan. Unless you’re a bench-pressing line cook you will probably need 2 hands for tossing your vegetables. The 5-inch-wide flat bottom sits nicely above your largest burner. The pan is 4 inches deep and 12 3/4 inches wide and looks big. You may be tempted to load it up but don’t, keep it simple.
The 1 inch wide handle is not coming off and Made In knows it. The pan comes with a non-transferable lifetime warranty.
The 2-millimeter thick carbon steel heats up quickly so use a high smoke point oil like avocado or grapeseed.
It is awesome for stir-fry, sautéing mushrooms, or cooking anything fast with high heat. A pan of this quality is a steal at their price of $99. This pan would make an excellent Christmas gift for someone that loves to cook and wants to explore the great things you can do with stir fry. Check out the complete line of Made In carbon steel, stainless steel, and non-stick cookware, there is no risk. Here is the company’s promise.

Manassas, VA based Dizzy Pig BBQ Company has created a spicy version of their top selling Dizzy Dust seasoning. Owner Chris Capell says a portion of the proceeds from the new Spicy Dizzy Dust will be donated as way for the company to give back to the community through local charities. We are thrilled the Dizzy Pig team chose the Visiting Chef Program at the Warrior Retreat at Bull Run to be their first charity.
If you like to spice up your food, then you will love Spicy Dizzy Dust. It works on everything you put regular Dizzy Dust on. I have used it on chicken and pork schnitzel to add heat for a great taste. The schnitzel is a lightly breaded pork cutlet. To get Spicy Dizzy Dust on the cutlet you need to add it to the panko just before you coat each side of the cutlet. Mixing it directly into the panko doesn’t work well because it is heavier than the panko and settles to the bottom. Like any spicy seasoning you will need to experiment on different foods and with varying amounts to find your spice tolerance sweet spot. Dizzy Pig has some great spicy recipes on their web page.
You can purchase Spicy Dizzy Dust online or at one of many retail locations selling the line of Dizzy Pig BBQ spices. Try it, you won’t be disappointed and will be supporting the Warrior Retreat at Bull Run.
