Philipiak Milano Introduces Quality Cookware Products to the United States

/

By Justina Coronel What if there was a product that could save you money, use your time more efficiently, and could cause you to live a healthier lifestyle? Well, Philipiak Milano has the answer! This European company has introduced its next-level cookware products to the United States. The cookware sears and sautés without cooking oil or fats and steams without adding water. The products are made from chrome-nickel steel and are known for its enduring durability and high quality. It is heavy-duty material that is highly resistant to the effects of bacteria and is very hygienic in use. Philipiak Milano’s frying pans are designed to hold heat for up to two hours, after the initial heating process. So if you have a busy lifestyle, this gives you the ability to have the food cooking off the burner, without wasting any energy. This cookware even saves you money since you are not consuming as much energy while cooking. When using the pots or pans, they can be used at low-temperature and still be prepared efficiently. Another major pro in this product is the fact that you don’t need to add any additional fat while cooking.

Lured in by Loews

/

Loews Miami Beach has yet another reason why people from all over the world are dropping their anchors by its shoreline. In late November, the grandiose SoBe Hotel has celebrated the arrival of its newest edition to its art deco quarters – Lure Fishbar. Emerging from the hustle and bustle of the big city life in New York – its flagship location – it was inevitable that the deluxe seafood restaurant would soon set sail to warm, Southern tides to give its people only the finest in oyster platters and the freshest catch of the day. Owners John McDonald and Joshua Pinkard alongside the culinary ingenious likes of Chef Josh Capon, aren’t just here to offer the very best in crustacean persuasion and word-class sushi on their menu, but premium customer service, as well! The staff of Lure strives to maintain an atmosphere that will insure ease and instill only the highest level of comfort, while still being surrounded by a luxury-induced ambience mixed with a vintage cruise-ship feel, and a spectacular ocean view. But let’s get to the good stuff already – the meat and potatoes, or better yet, the claws and gills, aka the food. The aquatic yet contemporary menu calls to anyone from traditional palettes to the most adventurous seafood enthusiasts – there’s something for everyone! If you’re looking to throw back a refresher to accompany your flaky fish filet, we strongly recommend the Catch and Release – a cool and collected watermelon cocktail, combining Absolut vodka, lime, orange bitters, fresh pressed watermelon, and topped off with a vibrant watermelon radish wheel. When it came time to assuage our hungry appetites, dishes like the Cheddar Scallion Biscuits, the Deviled Eggs, Sea Bass Ceviche, their renowned oyster of four impressive varieties, and the Tuna Tataki – accompanied with fresh slices of mango, drenched in tangy ponzu, and grained with scattered crispy onions – are the ideal taste bud tantalizers and serve as perfect appetizer choices! But perhaps the reigning champ of the night was by far the Grilled Whole Daurade – a Japanese black porgy grilled to perfection, topped with watercress, grilled lemon, and agrodolce. Digging into the whole-bodied fish, the meat flakes and collapses off of your unforgiving fork, indicating a guaranteed melt-in-your-mouth outcome. For a side, to further complement the zesty sea dweller, pair it with the Goat Cheese Polenta with Wild Mushroom Ragout – a creamy, grainy porridge, to which is befittingly integrated with the balanced potency of the goat cheese – a crowd favorite and ours, too! Located in The Lowes Miami Beach Hotel at 1601 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 (305) 695-4550
