Chef John Folse’s Favorite Frozen Treat Machines

Top Pick:
Musso Lussino
It’s got style, it’s got beauty and it’s a performer, too.  Retails for about $600 and features a 250-watt motor, 1½-quart capacity and about a 30 minute turnaround.

Power Pick:
Musso Pola
For those willing to sacrifice a little design for pure power and extra servings. Retails for about $1,100 and features a 300-watt motor, 2-quart capacity and a batch every 20 minutes.

Bargain Pick:
Cuisinart ICE-50 Supreme Ice Cream Maker
Not as finely engineered as its counterparts, perhaps, but for the price, it’s hard to beat. Just $250 will get you a reliable, user-friendly ice cream machine. It can take up to an hour to create about a quart, but the results are well worth the wait.

By: Jerry Predika

UNFAMILIAR CUTS:
A GUIDE TO BUTCHER FAVORITES
From Food & Wine (November 2008)

- Instead of Tenderloin Roasts try Top Round,
a less expensive cut that’s great for roasting.

- Instead of Filet Mignon try Teres Major,
a super-tender cut that’s more flavorful

- Instead of Lamb Shanks try Lamb Short Ribs,
a trendy restaurant cut.

- Instead of Pork Butt/Fresh Ham try Picnic Shoulder,
which has lots of skin for crisping.

- Instead of Pricey Veal Chops try Veal Shoulder,
delicious when braised until tender.
