There are gadgets and then there are gadgets! Some of them lose their appeal rather quickly and are relegated to the deep, dark confines of the "gadget draw" ? never to be seen again! We are happy to tell you, the Corkcicle is not such a creature.

Keeping wine at the correct serving/drinking temperature is not always so easy and straightforward. What is the correct temperature and how do you maintain it? Last February, KosherEye had the pleasure of interviewing the late great Israeli wine expert, Daniel Rogov. We were so fascinated with his vast storehouse of wine knowledge, that we devoted two articles to the subject so that we could include everything he shared with us. One of the questions we asked him was:

Should wine be served chilled or at room temperature?
D.R. "The average room temperature differs around the world... red wine should not be served at room temperature

When Temperature Counts!

Many kosher cooks spend even more time in the kitchen preparing meals than the typical homemaker. Therefore, it follows that we are always searching for innovative and unique kitchen accessories to make the cooking experience more efficient, more pleasurable, more accurate and more delicious. Enter the Thermapen, by Thermoworks.

Initially we were attracted to this instant read digital thermometer by the luscious color range (yes, we admit it, who can resist outer beauty?)

Most people are aware that a common problem in cooking and baking is overdone or underdone food. The former tastes bad and the latter can be dangerous. A cooking thermometer can overcome this concern, but until now, we have not found one that we liked. Some are too slow, others inaccurate and uncalibrated.

Cutting boards are a standard item in most kitchens and are available in several materials, with the most popular being plastic and wood. We own and use assorted cutting boards in several materials. Wooden cutting boards appear to be the material of choice for the TV celebrity chefs. We have all watched them chopping, slicing and dicing on their large wooden chopping boards and with a quick sweep and a wipe with a dishcloth, they clean the board and move on to the next step of the recipe.

We were delighted to have the opportunity to use the R

Yogurt Your Way!

models YM100 & YMX650

Yogurt is a staple in our refrigerator, and a very healthy and important part of our diet. Its benefits are so numerous, that it would require another article just to write about them. The dairy section of most grocery and specialty food stores devote large areas to yogurt choices; there is something for everyone.

Very simply stated, yogurt is made from milk (most commonly) to which yogurt culture (bacteria) is added, which in turn causes fermentation of the milk and produces a product that is both tangy and thick.

Yogurt was not always available in today's eye catching containers and in such an array of assorted flavors, low
