Intensifying Flavor: Simple Ideas for Busy Home Cooks

HOUSTON, Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Bold and interesting flavors are key to creating a memorable meal experience.  For either a novice or more experienced home cook, these easy tips, techniques and tools can help intensify natural flavors.

Experiment with salt and pepper, like Persian Blue Salt and Timut Pepper from Peugeot. With its rare bluish tint, rich in healthful potassium, Persian Blue Salt has a pure, non-iodized taste, with a refreshing hint of lemon and pairs well with fish and vegetables.  Timut is a wild pepper with a zingy, fresh taste, with irresistible notes of citrus, ideal for fish, stir-fry vegetables, fruit or chocolate desserts.

For full-flavored lemonade, iced coffee or tea or fruit-infused water, use oversized ice cubes that melt slowly and evenly. Zoku's silicone Jumbo Ice Trays make nearly flawless cubes that easily remove by inverting the silicone mold – no rinsing required. A tightly sealed flavor-guard lid prevents freezer-tasting ice.

Pressure cooking intensifies flavor for dishes from chicken soup to braised short ribs. Fissler's vitavit Pressure Cooker features a unique lid positioning aid, locking lid indicator and adjustable cooking levels for speed, gentle or steam cooking.  Advantages over countertop pressure cookers include superior searing and a significantly higher pressure level, for faster cooking and better preservation of natural flavors, textures and nutrients.

Prepare fish, meat and poultry to perfection with the CDN ProAccurate Rotating Thermocouple Thermometer (DTF572) that provides accurate temperature readings in three seconds.  The automatic rotating backlit LCD display always appears rightside up: the display flips when the thermometer is turned over.

Focus on flavor and use less oil with the CASO Air Fryer.  Perfect for chicken nuggets, French fries, drumsticks, kale chips, chips, steak, pork chops, and more, it keeps food crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.  Intelligent airflow optimizes heat distribution, for reliable results.  Programmable settings to store times and temperatures for favorite foods.

Create a professional coffee bar at home with the JURA S8, featuring an unparalleled range of 15 specialties, from espresso to flat white, caffè latte, and hot water for black or green tea.  High-resolution color touchscreen display makes navigation intuitive.  JURA technology – including the AromaG3 grinder and Pulse Extraction Process (P.E.P.) for optimum extraction – ensures quality in the cup.
