Fissler SensoRed Fry Pan Changes Color for Cooking

Some animals change color according to the temperature, and so does the Fissler SensoRed® Fry Pan. It gets darker to let you know it’s hot enough for cooking.

The Fissler SensoRed® Fry Pan is covered with dark freckles, and amazingly, when you heat up the pan you’ll know it is ready when the freckles disappear. Of course, some people might just ask, “Can’t I touch it to see if it’s hot?”, but the answer to that is obvious. NO!!!

Fortunately the German-engineers at Fissler have not only come up with a creative technology solution, but also a very usable 18/10 stainless steel pan that is both durable and has a non-stick surface.

They also say that the base of the pan is a key part of its effectiveness, “The bottom of the SensoRed pan guarantees perfect heat absorption, distribution, and storage and is very energy-efficient.”

Not just a recipe starter, the Fissler SensoRed is a great conversation starter.

Château Les Maubats 2015 Bordeaux Superior is a Vegan Wine that Pleases the Palate

Château Les Maubats 2015 Bordeaux Superior

Vegan wines taste as good as regular wines, that’s our proclamation! If you don’t believe us, then try Château Les Maubats 2015 Bordeaux Superior Rouge.

This wine is bright and refreshing, and fully meets our expectations of a pleasantly drinkable French vintage. The fact that it is vegan is an afterthought, at least from a palate perspective. What does surprise us more than anything is that it is French, because the style is so New World in presentation, almost Californian or Australian.

The winemaker describes Château Les Maubats 2015 Bordeaux Superior Rouge as “Deep ruby core with aromas of red cherries, raspberries, thyme, and earthy notes. Full-bodied on the palate with integrated oak flavors, ripe red fruit, coffee, a hint of tobacco, and a touch of licorice”

Definitely a great drinking or gift wine, and guaranteed to be a conversation starter… or deal closer.

WHAT IS VEGAN WINE?

We are often asked, “Wait, aren’t all wines vegan?” No, mon frere! They are not , just like honey is not vegan, nor is butter, because they both came from animals.

Wine may be made of grapes, but it has to be cleared up and filtered to make it drinkable, otherwise there are a number of unpleasant floating things you might swallow. An agent added to the wine can absorb this debris and when removed, leaves most of the wine a tasty and clear liquid.

As Vegan Wines describes, “traditional wine fining and filtering may involve many animal products, such as isinglass (from fish bladders), gelatin (from animal hooves and sinews), chitosan (from crustaceans), albumin (from eggs), and casein (from milk).” Vegan wines use non-animal derived methods to clarify the wine, including no slaughterhouse byproducts such as animal blood, bone, feathers, or fish waste are used to enrich and fertilize soil.

Vegan Wines is expanding its offerings and wine club, especially for lovers of reds and lower-priced wines. It’s also the the U.S.’s first all-vegan wine club

Montegrappa Pens releases Limited Edition Genio Creativo: Leonardo Da Vinci set

Italy-based luxury pen maker Montegrappa has released a new addition to its limited edition series, the Genio Creativo, and is based on Italian genius Leonardo Da Vinci.

The new set is intended to mark the 500 years since the loss of one of history’s most prolific minds, Leonardo da Vinci. For the design of this limited-edition release, they chose to celebrate both his artistic and scientific acumen.

 

LEONARDO da VINCI

Says Montegrappa, “From machines of war to telescopes, musical instruments and early robotics, Leonardo’s ambition and talent knew no boundaries. Left-handed, he was also an enigmatic writer, annotating his drawings with mirror script written right to left. The new Leonardo da Vinci edition writes conventionally, but celebrates the maestro’s technological prowess throughout its design and presentation.”

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

The new Leonardo Da Vinci edition is made of hand-finished brass, stainless steel and Tuscan olive wood, and the edition’s 500 piston-fed fountain pens and 500 rollerballs combine fine metal detailing with organic materials.

This combination of materials is done as an homage to Leonardo’s sense for the fluid relationship between nature, art and science. References to his achievements in geometry, astronomy, engineering and architecture are featured throughout the piece.

  • Material: olive wood, satin steel, brass
  • Trim: brass, steel
  • Nib: 18k gold
