Make Your Own Wood-Fired Pizza Anywhere with the Uuni 3

Say hello to Uuni 3
Now that winter has sung its swan song and spring has finally sprung, its time to cast off that cabin fever, get outside, and cook something over an open fire.

Well, maybe not an open fire, but with fire nonetheless. Why? Because it’s primal, it’s manly, and it’s an excuse to get outside and burn things. Sure, you could grill a steak or some kebabs or smoke a rack of ribs, but why constrain yourself to the typical charcoal and fire-cooked fare when you can go one step further and create a hearty, yet delicate, wood-fired pizza? Instead of ordering in from Domino’s for your next game day or cook-out congregation, simply get yourself the Uuni 3 Wood-Fired Pizza Oven and watch as your friends and neighbors circle you like a pack of wolves closing in on their prey.

Unlike most wood-fired pizza ovens, this one isn’t built into a brick or stucco wall and is, instead, made from lightweight, insulated, brushed stainless steel and altogether weighs less than 30 pounds. That’s lighter than a toddler (and way easier to carry, not only because the Uuni 3 doesn’t squirm, but also beacause, if you order from Huckberry, you get a free travel bag). The Uuni3 also sports sturdy legs for increased stability, so you don’t have to worry about a sloppy drunk friend accidentally knocking over your pizza oven. Fueled by environmentally friendly (and ubiquitous) energy-dense wood pellets, the Uuni 3 reaches 932 degrees Fahrenheit in around 10 minutes and, once at that temperature,will cook a 13-inch pizza in as little as 60 seconds. That’s right, gents. You can get your very own wood-fired pizza, baked fresh and ready in as little as 11 minutes from start to finish. Now that’s what I call efficiency.

So, the all important questions–how much is this going to cost you? 10% less if you buy from Huckberry–for a grand total of only $300. That’s about a third the cost of constructing your own, at-home, wood-fired pizza oven.

How to make Frosé for a heat wave cool off
Your guide to making this staple summer drink
Bar Primi Frose

It's hot out there, people. And one of the absolute best ways to cool off is by way of a great frozen cocktail. So, let us introduce you to the pink wine-inspired Frosé, an ideal drink for the next heat wave.

But first, a little history. The Frosé was allegedly born at Bar Primi in NYC. The drink is very much as advertised, a rosé wine-centric frozen cocktail (hence, the name). The Italian joint's general manager, Justin Sievers, came up with the drink, treating guests to an ice-cold pink concoction that's all the better during the middle of summer.

Dry aged steak: Everything you need to know
Just like wine and cheese, steak just gets better with age.
Dry aged steak

 

If you're anything like us, one of your go-to happy places is likely a dark and moody gourmet steakhouse, complete with mustachio'd barkeeps and their impressive list of extravagant steak and bourbon pairings. If this is a scene that sounds familiar to you, you probably know a little something about dry-aged steaks. Until just recently, these incredible pieces of meat were only available in upscale steakhouses, very high-end grocers, and specialty butcheries. Thanks to the passage of time and whispers of praise, however, word eventually got out about how incredible dry-aged steaks are, and now they're much more widely accessible online and even at some mid-level grocery stores.

One of the OGs of the U.S. craft beer scene, Fat Tire, is teaming up with skateboard brand Vans to create new summer packaging for its beer and a range of merch including some branded Vans slip-ons. Known originally for its amber ale which has been reformulated (somewhat contentiously) over the years, Fat Tire is one of the important brands in craft beer history and has recently pushed for a more sustainable approach to its beer brewing.

The brand is partnering with Vans to use its iconic checkboard pattern, known as "Off the Wall" on cans of its ale for the summer. The merch collection being released alongside the limited edition packaging includes hats, shirts, a cooler, and most enticingly, a pair of slip-ons that have the Fat Tire logo and slogan on the back of the heel.
