Cupcake, you know how I love all things grilling. Well, I've run across this amazing gadget that is simply a must-have item. And the price is beyond excellent. Williams Sonoma (don't you just Love that store?!) has come out with a mesh pan, like the ones used in the Basque region. You remember, that tiny, tiny area between Spain and France. They're really nationalistic and don't want to belong to either of those countries. Anyway, one of the great things they've added to cuisine is cooking in innovative cookware over the grill. (Photo source: williams-sonoma.com)When one grills in a mesh pan, several amazing benefits spring to mind:
1. No more sticking to the grill with that fun, fun subsequent scrubbing and burning off stuck-on food.
2. You can soak the mesh pan in a wonderful device known as your kitchen sink to get it really clean
3. The mesh pan allows the food to cook without adding oil to the veggies, which is important to those of us watching our fat intake and who have been advised not to hand-pour olive oil while cooking (yes, this from my Italian-origin trainer -- more on that sacrilege another day, Poodle).
4. If you use chips in your fire to enhance the flavor, your veggies really absorb it better in the grill pan
5. You can slice up the items in your grill pan smaller than you'd be able to do otherwise on your grill

Oh! And sorry for the absence. I'm cooking up something else and will reveal it soon enough, but it's taking up a lot of my time right now. Miss you, Strudel!
