Calamari with a Twist

Corporate Chef Eric Morales from Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau was recently in our showroom doing a product demonstration. He continues to WOW our clients with his culinary expertise. I thought I would like to share his calamari recipe with you because it does have a unique twist to it. It always comes out perfect in our Gaggenau deep fryer. 

 

Give it a whirl and let me know what you think. 

 

 

FRIED CALAMARI 

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

• Calamari
• Mixture of half flour and half GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS (ah! The secret ingredient)
• Sauce: Mayonnaise, anchovy paste, fresh lemon juice, parsley, chopped garlic
• Oil for frying such as canola, peanut, vegetable, or Mel fry - not olive oil  

DIRECTIONS:

Make sauce ahead of time. No set amounts just prepare to individual taste. Mix together mayo, anchovy paste, fresh lemon juice, parsley and chopped garlic.

 

Make sure the calamari is cleaned. Heat oil in deep fryer.

  

Mix together the flour and graham cracker crumbs. Coat calamari in the mixture. Fry the calamari a batch at a time. Serve with sauce for dipping. Enjoy!  

 

Until next time – Happy Cooking!  

 

 

 

Organized Chaos

So many things are happening all at once.

Just to keep you apprised of all the activities going on, I will start with the painting of the LaCornue center. It is starting to look absolutely beautiful! The green is definitely going to make the white and brass range pop. 

Our website is always under construction trying to keep up with what is current. That is a difficult task; however we have a great mass media marketing person, Jeanne Murphy, handling all the updates to make us contemporary.

The District Sales Manager from Gaggenau was in today bringing us up to date on the new Gaggenau center that will be installed. A designers dream!

Our autumn calendar is completely full with product demonstrations, cooking classes, fund raisers and renovations. NARI, National Association of Remodelers, which we are a member, is hosting their dinner/holiday meeting here in Dec. Our manufacturer’s corporate chefs will be cooking away for their dining pleasure.

I haven’t even touched upon new products, expansion, warranty packages, new procedures, new sales consultants, advertising and all that goes with running a successful business. We are pleased to say we continue to grow and move forward in a positive way. We have a great team here at Appliance World and no matter what we are like family, looking out for each others needs. Great company to work for!

Until next time,  Keep Smiling!

   

It’s all about the Shine and Twinkle

My niece was visiting over the weekend and remarked about how shiny my stainless steel appliances looked, especially my Subzero refrigerator.

She is a mother of a 20 month old and a newborn. You can well imagine the fingerprints on that refrigerator. The future is not looking much better for her refrigerator as the newborn comes into her own. Her day is consumed with caring for her family, so I gave her a tip. There are many products on the market; however we recommend a product called Twinkle.

We have a huge display of stainless steel appliances as well as 5 “live” kitchens in our Huntington showroom. They are constantly full of fingerprints. Twinkle to the rescue. We spray a small amount on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub with the grain of the stainless; thus no streaking. (Did you know that there is a grain in the stainless?) The most difficult fingerprints are gone in a flash.

I gave her a can and she called me so excited about how much better her refrigerator looks. It’s the little things in life that sometimes make us the happiest.

You too can be proud of how well your appliances look. Come on in and purchase a can of Twinkle for $25. It lasts quite a long time. It might be one of the best purchases you have ever made.

Until next time: Keep Shining!
