Cook on This: The Iwachu Cast Iron Omelette Pan

If you consider the fact that the Iwachu Cast Iron Omelette Pan is handcrafted from Nambu iron, which is a material that has been used for over 400 years, that certainly is proof that it has withstood the test of time. In fact, the Iwachu Cast Iron Omelette Pan takes 60 steps to make. The all-purpose pan, which can be used for more than just making omelettes, is designed and painstakingly handcrafted in the traditional nambu tekki style in Morioka, Japan. If you take a look at the pan’s soft curves, it’s clear that it’s thoughtfully made with care. Best of all, its design ensures that the pan’s handle stays cool, so you don’t have to worry about burning your fingers. On top of that, it’s ergonomic, so it fits the shape of your hand perfectly. It’s also low stick, so all you health-conscious folks don’t have to worry about using lots of oil, and you don’t have to deal with all that scrubbing.

According to Luke Murray a Hand-Eye Supply employee contributor, “Like most cast iron pans, these offer even heating and heavy duty durability. But their sort of bumpy, pre-seasoned surface gives a shockingly smooth cooking surface, in a package more ergonomic than any tiny-handled skillet we’ve ever handled. They’re a perfect non-stick pan for your breakfast eggs, with a nice balanced feel and no gross toxic coating.”

Sure, the Iwachu Cast Iron Omelette Pan may be a bit pricey at $120, but just think of it as an investment that will last forever. It’s a staple that every serious at-home cook needs. Plus, you’ll make the most amazing omelettes ever.

Sherry-finished whisky fans will want to buy Oban’s newest release
Oban's new whisky appeals to both cask strength and sherry finished fans
Oban

In our opinion, there's no better aging or finishing barrel than a sherry cask. This is especially true when it comes to finishing single malt Scotch whisky. We also love high-proof whiskies. That's why we were so excited when we learned that Oban's latest release is not only cask strength but also finished in sherry casks. It's the best of both worlds.

Instant espresso powder vs. instant coffee: What you need to know
Are these two powdered coffees the same?
instant coffee powder

Even though I love cooking, baking, and making coffee at home, I often don't think of using coffee products in baked goods. Mainly, I think of coffee mostly as a drink. I love to whip up the occasional espresso martini at home, but I've only recently started experimenting with instant espresso powder when I bake. Recently, I've discovered that instant espresso powder and powdered instant coffee are two entirely different products, even though they look similar. Whether you're a home cook, aspiring barista, or simply a coffee lover, here's what you should know about instant espresso powder vs. instant coffee.
What is instant espresso powder?

Instant espresso powder is made by drying and grinding espresso beans that have already been brewed. Once ground and dried, the powder becomes dissolvable in water. Unlike instant coffee, instant espresso powder isn't meant to be brewed as espresso to drink, as it is too concentrated. I've tried the Dellalo Instant Espresso Powder and the King Arthur Baking Espresso Powder. I've found that espresso powder isn't as easy to find in stores as you'd think, so I'd recommend planning and ordering it online if you need it for a recipe.
