Tips & Techniques
Tip: Sweetie Pie: Cold butter, flaky crusts
Always use cold butter (or shortening) when making pie or tart crusts, and leave the butter in pea-sized pieces when you incorporate it into the flour. These little “butter balls” will melt when baked and create a tender, flaky crust.
Tip: Time for Dessert: Strawberries and chocolate
For quick chocolate-covered strawberries, use top quality chocolate chips (milk, chocolate or white) from the baking aisle. Melt the chips in the microwave or double boiler, taking care to use half power in the microwave and stirring frequently so

Glossary
Caramelization
What is it?
The browning of sugar or other foods like bread, coffee and chocolate beans, and meat.
Why you'd want it?
It browns food, developing more color, aroma and flavor intensity.
Braising
What is it?
A cooking method that starts with a larger, tough, inexpensive cut of meat and cooks it in a tightly covered pot with a small amount of liquid, in a low oven for a long time.
Why you'd want it?
Braising develops rich flavor and tenderizes the meat. The first step in braising is to brown the meat on the stovetop before seasoning and putting it the oven to cook.
Clad
What is it?
Cookware made by sandwiching different materials together to create superior cooking performance and easier care. Most clad cookware is made by covering – or cladding – either aluminum or copper cookware with stainless steel.
Why you'd want it?
Stainless steel clad cookware provides stain resistance and protection against denting, while also taking advantage of the superior heat conductivity of aluminum or copper.

I’ve been with Meyer for over 4 ½ years. As Consumer Brand Manager for the Anolon and Circulon brands, I truly believe in the power of the digital space and its ability to forge genuine, interactive conversations between consumers and the brands they love.
As a recent graduate of the University of Southern California, I’m adjusting to life on my own and enjoying the delicious adventure of finally having my own kitchen. It’s frightening at times, but fabulous – especially thanks to my forgiving cookware! What I’ve discovered is that good food isn’t about the plated destination. It’s about the friends and family who share in the experimental journey along the way. It’s true - cooks don’t just make meals, they make memories.
I live an active lifestyle, so I love to try out new healthy cooking and smart snacking tips. Guess you could say that I subscribe to the “you are what you eat” mantra. Good thing I also believe that a girl’s got to indulge herself once in awhile too! My culinary skills are a work in progress, but what matters most is the joy of sharing one of my delectable progress reports with friends over a glass of wine. Besides, I can make a fabulous pumpkin pie and mean eggnog come the holidays and that counts for something, right?
I have worked for Meyer Corporation for 6 months. As a recent college graduate in my mid 20’s, I am living away from home for the first time. In addition to the start of a new career, I am also a very active athlete, participating competitively in cycling and triathlon events. With so much going on in my life, I find that I fall into multiple Cooking Personalities. Overall, I find that my core personality is Healthy Habits. As a very active endurance athlete, I need to cook foods that not only taste great, but are healthy and provide all of the nutrients I need to perform well and recover.
My other cooking personalities include Expanding Horizons and Gourmand. Living on my own for the first time, I am working slowly to build my own cookware and bakeware assortments. I am very picky when it comes to cooking and baking, preferring only to use the best, which can be an expensive habit, and I am therefore, building my assortments one or two pieces at a time.
My significant other and I love to cook and bake. We experiment all of the time, often cooking/baking a recipe to spec. once, and then never cooking it the same again – varying it to add in foods and flavors we think will work well or just experimenting with foods we have never tried before. With there being only two of us in my household, we cook large meals, and do all of our baking on the weekends, and then use the leftovers for lunch, dinner and dessert during the week. Cooking, baking and eating (the food we make) is a large part of our relationship. It is important to us that we make healthy food, and we try to make it as fun, interesting, and of course, great tasting as it can be!
I am a wife, mother, and employee of Meyer Corporation; serving as the Sr. Sales Director for the Anolon, Circulon, and BonJour brands. I’ve worked for Meyer for over five years. I am also a certified Home Economist with an emphasis on Foods and Nutrition. I have a passion for cooking and seeing people enjoy good food -- it feeds my passion for selling our products.
Nothing pleases me more than to have family and friends gathered in the kitchen, all the burners going, and everyone working toward a common goal– it’s like a symphony. As a working mom, I rely on tried and true recipes for most of our meals, but I also enjoy experimenting and trying new techniques.
When I’m not working or in the kitchen, I relax by walking, reading, and gardening. I travel extensively for my job and I’ve had the privilege to visit many of our customers, both large and small, in some wonderful cities around the country.
