Culinary Pickles: Delivering a valuable differentiator.

July 13th, 2008 J Posted in Cooking, CulinaryPrep, Recipes No Comments »

  • 3 pounds 3 to 4 inch long pickling cucumbers
  • 1.75 cups white vinegar
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 1/3 cup pickling salt
  • 16 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
  • 9 sprigs fresh dill weed
  • 6 heads fresh dill weed

Directions

Put the Pickles in ice water for 30 minutes, bring out the CulinaryPrep and put EVERYTHING in, except the ice water, plus a little veggie prep. Vacuum it all up to the green section and tumble for 48 minutes. Ok up to an hour works too. Chill these out for like 2 hours in the fridge and gold.

Don’t think you can do this with the 9 minute marinator or the reveo. Not all vacuum marinators are created equal, some do cool veggie recipes too.

Event Horizon - Raw Food

June 18th, 2008 J Posted in Cooking 2 Comments »

We have been getting a good deal more inquiries on how CulinaryPrep supports raw diets.  Being a lover of meat and all things BBQ-ed, I forget to balance out what else my be good in tumbler. Vegetables are great after tumble.  Some of the benefits:

  • Removes dangerous bacteria from raw vegetables, including lettuce, spinach, carrots, broccoli,
  • Restores freshness to raw vegetables and improves flavor
  • Extends shelf life of raw vegetables and thereby, reduces amount of food that you throw away
  • Makes raw vegetables look more vibrant and healthier

So here is a Raw food idea - CP some carrots in a marinade.  Actually really good.  Here are some events around Raw food.

Community is a great thing…

The lethal culprits are food-borne pathogens, which affect beef, seafood, poultry and produce and are doing so at an ever increasing and alarming rate. In the last 15 months alone, there have been five major outbreaks of food-borne illness in the United States linked to produce. Enter Culinary Prep ! While unable to leap tall buildings in a single bound, this kitchen appliance stands alone as the very first to apply the Grovac process - M. Dee Dubroff
