Chez Peachy: It's Fashion Week, New York! Are Your Pans Dressed for the Occasion? SLIP INTO STYLE: NEW COOK & SERVE COLORI FROM KUHN RIKON IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY WHOM YOU KNOW

If you have boring pots and pans, you are not heeding our advice in Chez Peachy!  We look high and low to add style and panache to your kitchen, and during Fashion Week especially, we have some great ideas for you!  The latest and greatest is from a brand we love, Kuhn Rikon.  Introducing the new Cook & Serve Colori!  We think it is the most fabulous buffet container we have ever seen.


The new Cook & Serve Colori from Kuhn Rikon combines a functional, high-quality pan that easily slips into a colorful neoprene sleeve, keeping food warm stovetop to table for serving in style.  Designed in Switzerland by the award-winning product designer, Philipp Beyeler, Cook & Serve Colori is ideal for everyday meals, potlucks and buffets. It can also keep dinner warm for family members who eat at different times.  For the home chef, it has an added advantage for preparing a dish and then keeping it warm while the remainder of the meal is prepared.  Think of all the times you are interrupted at dinner!  We think the phone has rang about 25 times in the last 24 hours alone with recorded voices of politicians in light of the election day today...


The Cook & Serve Colori is pure quality, as is everything by Kuhn Rikon we have seen.  The pan is constructed of professional-grade 18/10 brushed stainless steel, which is impact-bonded over an aluminum core for even heat distribution. It can be placed in the oven or on the stove, making this versatile cookware ideal for soups, stews, pot roasts and more.  This versatility is key in Manhattan, where who has room for multiple pans?!  We love a jack of all trades in stainless steel.  The durable, safe-tempered glass lid lets you see the food inside.  The amply sized stainless steel handles are easy to grip and are oven safe to 350 degrees.  We see ourselves making lots of soup in this over the winter....


As always, we embrace fashion and function together and the stylish and sporty neoprene sleeve fits snugly around the pan, keeping food hot or cold for over an hour.  Peachy's is in this shade of blue and it is gorgeous!  A tab on the sleeve makes removing it from the pan easy.  The neoprene sleeve also serves as a potholder or trivet, protecting hands and the table from a hot pan.  The people at Kuhn Rikon are so so smart.


Cook & Serve Colori is also the ideal choice for keeping foods chilled. Whether it is a fruit dessert, Gazpacho or a summertime potato salad, the neoprene sleeve helps keep the food chilled throughout the meal.


The pan and lid are dishwasher safe. The neoprene sleeve can be rinsed under warm water using mild soap, if needed.


The new Kuhn Rikon Cook & Serve Colori, which includes a pan, lid and neoprene sleeve, is available in three sizes: 2-quart, 3-quart and 4-quart for $39.95, $49.95, and $59.95, respectively.  The neoprene sleeve comes in Red, Blue, Green or Orange. A recipe for Tuscan White Bean and Sausage Soup is included. It is available for shipment September 2010.  Whom You Know Highly Recommends the Cook & Serve Colori by Kuhn Rikon!!!  It is just what you need to spruce up your kitchen this fall.
