The result is perfectly cooked foods with enhanced flavors, textures and nutritional benefits. This culinary technique, often used in gourmet kitchens around the globe because of its fool-proof results, is now becoming more and more of a common practice in home kitchens. An intimidat- ing concept at first, but very easy to mas- ter, home cooks quickly fall in love with sous vide cooking once they have a chance to try it. Sous vide enables home cooks at any level to create delicious meals with improved texture and enhanced nutritional benefits while reducing grocery budgets and prep time and maximizing convenience. Nutrition As sous vide food is cooked in air-tight pouches at lower temperatures, this cook- ing technique is often considered one of the most healthful ways to cook retaining flavors and nutrients often lost with tradi- tional cooking methods. To that end, foods also require less seasoning, oil and cooking fat, resulting in a more nutritious and delicious dish. Budget The "low and slow" sous vide method of cooking tenderizes and transforms inexpensive cuts of meat such as chuck eye steak into mouthwatering delica- cies just as tender and delicious as a high-cost filet mignon. Spend less at the store and enjoy more at the table! Having a vacu- um sealer on hand also allows home cooks to extend the shelf life of ingredi- ents by storing them in air-tight pouches. Convenience With sous vide, meals can be cooked in advance, then stored in the fridge and warmed up as needed without sacrificing nutrition, taste or quality, making dinner- time a breeze! Additionally, since ingre- dients never overcook or dry out, they can be prepared individually and left in the water bath until each person is ready to eat—whether that's at 5, 6 or 9 p.m. Perfect for time-strapped professionals, health-conscious parents, aspiring gour- mets, or anyone looking for increased convenience, nutritional benefits and money sav- ings in their meals, the Sous Vide Pure and Sous Vide Prime from fusionchef by Julabo, will soon become a kitchen staple everywhere. The Sous Vide Prime (3-gallon capacity) and Sous Vide Pure (2.5-gallon capacity), are some of the most energy efficient and user-friend- ly home sous vide water baths on the mar- ket and feature a proprietary aluminum alloy heating element resulting in one of the most precise temperature control sys- tems available. Key to sous vide success, the machines come to set temperature more rapidly and are more stable at the desired cooking temperature than other sous vide baths presently on the market.

THE AMERICAN COOKIE CUTTER COMPANY CUTS NO CORNERS The team at the American Cookie Cutter Company knows they feel good about manufacturing cookie cutters in the United States, but for retail stores, the company's American-made product goes well beyond feeling good. The American Cookie Cutter Company offers solid solutions to the problems that retailers constantly face. Retailers lose money when the core products they need are out of stock for weeks or even months. The American Cookie Cutter Company is the manufac- turer! The company doesn't need to schedule a manufacturing date and then wait for the boat. It manages its invento- ry levels, and schedules manufacturing to keep product in stock ready to ship in one to two days. All of The American Cookie Cutter Company's cookie cutters are bar coded! Eliminate pricing each piece and tracking what you have and what is selling is easy. Additionally, you no longer need to order everything you think you need for the important fourth quarter. The company ships in one to two days, so you can order what you need when you need it! Forgot to order? No problem, the company will ship your order right away! How does The American Cookie Cutter Company compete with its Asian counterparts? Identifying the problems and needs of retailers is one piece, but smart, safe manufacturing of quality products is the other. It's only a bit ironic that the wisdoms of steel magnate Andrew Carnegie are woven into many of the company's practices for achieving this. Steel is at the core of what The American Cookie Cutter Company does! Andrew Carnegie said, "What one does easily, one does well." From the coils of tin plated steel to the fin- ished cookie cutter effi- ciency is always on the forefront of The American Cookie Cutter Company's minds. To compete requires it to produce a quality cookie cutter at a pace and process that is challenged by an imbalanced labor rate. The company is constantly exploring and investing in technology that layers automation into areas where labor is best freed up to shift to technical and quality control areas. The company also tasks its employees to look for ways it can streamline the man- ufacturing process without sacrificing quality. This could be the position of a bin to the location of a weld or most recently, the entire production flow. The American Cookie Cutter Company's General Manager, Ben Clark, advocates the importance of a safe, stim- ulating work environment that supports personal betterment at every opportunity. The company's American presence fuels the growth of other American jobs, enriching our community and country. According to research, for each American manufacturing job, five more are created; accounting, truck driving, clerical, research and development, etc. The materials the com- pany uses are all sourced locally or in the United States under strict safety stan- dards, which contributes to a healthy environment for us and future genera- tions. The American Cookie Cutter Company knows everyone that touches its materials, from the American-made steel all the way to the women that make the gift boxes.
