Spring 2020 April ~ May ~ June We love Robin Williams’ belief that “Spring is nature’s way of saying ‘Let’s Party’! We hope you’ll join us for some great new cooking classes. And be sure to check out our new Essence of Cooking ~ Intermediate which begins on April 14th. And do join us for lunch at the Market Cafè and try our new menu. (We’ve added a Chopped Cobb Salad which we’re told is awesome!) And you’ll find some great additions to our Gourmet Store like the ChirpyTop, Instant Pot tools and Heritage Steel cookware described below. And as for “Let’s Party”: We’d love to host your private party in our Cooking School kitchen. A WINE POURER. IT REALY CHIRPS! The ChirpyTop™ wine pourer from GurglePot is amazing. This little bird chirps while you serve your favorite wine. Made from stainless steel and silicone, this wine pourer features hidden whistles that create the cute chirp. Plus, it is designed for a drip free pour, so your table stays tidy. Hand wash recommended. INSTANT POT HEADQUARTERS Sweet Basil is your Instant Pot tool headquarters! 1. Silicone Roasting Rack 2. Metal Roasting Rack 3. Silicone Steamer Basket 4. Cook/Bake Pan with lid & divider 5. Large & Small Mesh Steamer Baskets HERITAGE STEEL COOKWARE FROM HAMMER STAHL There are a lot of different kinds of cookware out there. Heritage Steel from Hammer Stahl is different. They use a titanium-stabilized 316Ti cooking surface that is 20 times more resistant to corrosion than HERITAGE type 304 steel, creating the most non-reactive and durable cooking STEEL surface available. And they use 3 layers of aluminum to ensure even COOKWARE heating and type 304 steel for improved corrosion resistance and luster on the exterior and 400 steel as an interior layer for better induction. Most other manufacturers use a stick handle that is often uncomfortable or imbalanced in your hand. They created a custom hollow handle constructed from five separate machined parts that both fits comfortably in your hand and stays cool while on the stovetop. Welcome to Sweet Basil Cooking School!
