You can do so by oxygenating the wine. Decanting improves nine out of ten wines. This releases the ephemeral aromas and rounds off the flavour. With MENU Wine Breather there is no need to wait for hours. A new and unique method gets the best out of your wine in just two minutes. Just open the bottle, place the decanter with Wine Breather on top and turn it upside down so the wine runs down into the decanter. As much as ten times the oxygen will be added to your wine. And then you can choose to serve the wine in the elegant drip-free decanter - or directly from the original bottle. With Wine Breather you can easily pour the oxygenated wine back from the decanter into the bottle.

5 Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground and make the tender grass spring up? Does the rain have a father? Who gives birth to the dew? Who is the mother of the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens? For the water turns to ice as hard as rock. Job 38 : 27 30

Umahro Cadogan I would describe myself as something of a food freak. Long before I could peer over a kitchen worktop I cooked for pleasure, but when I contracted chronic gastroenteritis at the tender age of 19, my diet assumed an even more central role in my life. A couple of years later the doctors gave up trying to cure me and in a much weakened condition I looked forward to the unsavoury prospect of life as a disability pensioner. But instead of throwing in the towel, I began to put my knowledge of biology and biochemistry gleaned from an International Baccalaureate (IB) to good use. I sought knowledge about diet and health for body and mind and quite literally ate my way to good health. Since then I have devoted my life to passing on knowledge about health to others and have written the Kitchen Revolution cookbooks that are so well-known in Denmark. Jeg betegner mig selv som lidt af en madnørd. Jeg lavede mad af lyst, længe før jeg kunne se op over køkkenbordet, men da jeg som 19-årig fik kronisk tarmbetændelse, fik kosten en anderledes central placering i mit liv. Et par år efter opgav lægerne nemlig at helbrede mig, og jeg kunne som stærkt svækket ung mand se frem til et liv som invalidepensionist. Men i stedet for at smide håndklædet i ringen gav jeg mig, med udgangspunkt i min viden om biologi og biokemi, som jeg havde læst på højt niveau, da jeg tog en International Baccalaureate (IB), til at opsøge viden om kost og sundhed for krop og sind og spiste mig rask. Siden har jeg viet mit liv til at give andre mennesker viden om sundhed og skrevet de Danmarks-kendte Køkkenrevolution kogebøger. Fruit is beautiful in itself, and thus deserving of elegant presentation. And so designer Niels Römer has created a fantastic fruit bowl exclusively for Menu. The bowl is shaped like a large, soft drop of paint, captured in the moment it strikes the table and shatters into a spectacular burst of colour. It is made from silicone which has the appearance of porcelain but feels surprisingly soft and pleasing to the touch. The collection showcases a range of exciting colours including Carbon, Spring leaf, Snow white, Storm blue, Neo purple and Neo red. Frugt er skønt og fortjener at blive præsenteret flot. Derfor har Niels Römer designet et fantastisk frugtskål for Menu. Det er formet som en stor, blød dråbe maling, fastholdt netop i det øjeblik, den rammer bordet og brydes i et spektakulært, farverigt sprøjt. Fadet er skabt i silikone, der ligner porcelæn, men som føles overraskende blødt og behageligt. Serien rummer en række fascinerende farver: Carbon, Spring leaf, Snow white, Storm blue, Neo purple og Neo red.

Te har med sine sunde antioxidanter og næringsstoffer for alvor vundet indpas over det meste af verden, og te kan både forebygge og bekæmpe sygdomme som kræft og influenza.

8 14 Tea time Tea time 15 Most people are aware of the health benefits of tea, and that has brought tea back into the limelight. Refreshing, soothing, healing, and it may prevent cancer. That s just a small selection of the beneficial qualities inherent in tea. Naturally, not all at the same time: Tea is found in countless varieties, and it is the method of production and the brewing time that determine the effect of the individual tea. Tea can positively influence your mind and body. Most people are aware of the health benefits of tea, and that has brought tea back into the limelight. At the same time society has undergone an attitudinal change, prompting most of us to seek out quality in what we eat and drink, explains owner and tea expert Alexis Kaae of Simply Tea. So tea is no longer just tea, but a warm pleasure that we partake of according to our needs. The choice is huge, and the types of tea vary greatly in terms of flavour, effect, and appearance. That being said, all tea comes from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis, but the individual varieties are picked, processed and prepared in different ways, lending variation in both flavour and appearance, as well as nutritional value. Classic black Much of what we consider as real tea in the Western world is the traditional black tea. For hundreds of years it was the only tea variety enjoyed for afternoon teatime. And Europeans were by far the only ones drinking it! Flavours such as berries and spices were often added to black tea both to extend shelf life and camouflage the bitter aftertaste caused by the months-long journey from Asia to European tables. In recent years black tea has seen a great deal of competition from other varieties, but many people mistakenly believe that black tea does not contain the nutrients and healing properties of other types. In fact, black tea contains the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which helps to prevent Alzheimer s disease, and like other teas it is rich in antioxidants, which are thought to combat cancer. And if that s not enough, black tea also has a calming effect and is particularly helpful in warding off stress. Green and rewarding Green tea began to garner serious attention in Europe in the 1980s, and was responsible for the decline in the popularity of black tea. Green tea is in fact a genuine tea, in that it undergoes the least amount of processing in the form of drying and steaming. Thanks to these natural methods, green tea is rich in minerals and nutrients, and for thousands of years Chinese medicine has relied on its health-giving properties. The healthful effects of green tea are at the root of its popularity in the West, and the flavonoids it contains are said to have a positive effect on cardiovascular disease. Tea also has qualities that calm and soothe us, and which can reduce high blood pressure. Green tea has a relatively short shelf life and should be enjoyed fresh in order to reap its health-giving benefits. The popular white Although green tea is still popular with tea drinkers, white tea is taking precedence in tea cups worldwide and with good reason, because all of the healthy properties are intact in white tea. And the white variety is very exclusive, in that it consists solely of the fine white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant, and picking is carried out only a few days a year. Bursting with amino acids and antioxidants, white tea is especially effective against fever thanks to its antibacterial properties. White tea is also recommended to combat gum infections and paradentosis, and the beauty industry often employs white tea extract in its products to fight wrinkles. Fake but fiery The Rooibos variety, also known as red tea, is not considered a real tea in the eyes of many tea lovers. Rooibos is more of an herbal tea made from the needle-like leaves of a bush found in South Africa, and not the Camellia Sinensis plant like other teas. This African tea has attracted a large number of fans both in Europe and the USA in recent years. Rooibos is exceptionally healthy and rich in Vitamin C, iron, and calcium. It s easy on the stomach and makes a good alternative to green tea, which many people find to be too harsh and bitter. As Rooibos does not contain caffeine, it is popular with many pregnant and nursing mothers and is thought to increase breast milk production. And many tea drinkers who have problems sleeping prefer to drink this caffeine-free African variety. The next trend While quality-conscious tea drinkers are embracing the benefits of white tea, the next tea trends are slowing beginning to emerge. At Simply Tea, Alexis Kaae predicts that Oolong and pu-erh tea will soon enjoy a warm welcome on the tea scene, not least because they are good for the digestion and have a slimming effect. Pu-erh tea in particular has shown its ability to break down fats and oils, partly due to microorganisms and bacteria used in the fermenting process. And pu-erh tea, unlike green tea, is best enjoyed after undergoing a lengthy aging process most commonly 9-10 years, but some types are aged between 50 and 60 years. The tea s active properties help to purify the body and are especially beneficial for the kidney and liver. Opkvikkende, beroligende, kræftforebyggende og healende. Det er blot et udsnit af de kvaliteter, som te besidder. Men naturligvis ikke på én gang: Te findes nemlig i utallige varianter, og produktionsmetoder og bryggetid afgør, hvilken effekt den enkelte te har. Te kan påvirke både sind og krop i positiv retning. De fleste har fået øjnene op for teens helbredsmæssige fordele, og det har givet teen en renæssance. Samtidig er der sket en holdningsændring i samfundet, hvor de fleste søger kvalitet i mad og drikkevarer, siger indehaver og teekspert Alexis Kaae fra Simply Tea. Derfor er te ikke længere bare te, men en varm nydelse, som vi tilpasser vores behov. Udvalget er stort, og tesorterne er forskellige i både smag, effekt og udseende. Alligevel stammer al te fra den samme plante kaldet Camellia Sinensis, men tesorterne plukkes, efterbehandles og tilberedes på forskellig vis, hvilket giver variation i både smag og udseende og ikke mindst i næringsstoffernes effekt. Den klassiske sorte Det, der forbindes med rigtig te i Vesten, er den traditionelle sorte te, som i århundreder var den eneste tesort, der blev drukket til eftermiddagsteen. Og europæerne var længe de eneste, der drak den sorte variant. Teen blev ofte tilsat smagsvarianter som bær eller krydderier for at forlænge holdbarheden og kamuflere den bitre smag, som den månedslange rejse fra Asien var skyld i. Den sorte variant har de seneste årtier fået stærk konkurrence af andre tetyper, men mange tror fejlagtigt, at sort te ikke er næringsrig og helbredende. Teen indeholder signalstoffet acetylcholin, som forebygger alzheimers sygdom, og er som de andre tetyper rig på antioxidanter, der har ry for at bekæmpe kræft. Desuden har den sorte te en beroligende effekt og er særlig god mod stress. Grøn og givende Den grønne te gjorde for alvor sit indtog i Europa i 1980 erne og var årsagen til den sorte tes dalende popularitet. Grøn te er egentlig den ægte te, da den blot er blevet tørret og varmebehandlet med damp. Den er grundet sin naturlige bearbejdning rig på mineraler og næringsstoffer, og den kinesiske lægevidenskab har i årtusinder brygget ivrigt på den helsevirkende te. Sundhedseffekten har klart været roden til den grønne tes popularitet i Vesten, og indholdet af såkaldte flavonoider har en positiv effekt på hjerte-kar-sygdomme. Teen indeholder også stoffer, der får os til at slappe af og er særlig god mod højt blodtryk. Grøn te har en kort levetid og skal drikkes frisk for at holde på de helsevirkende næringsstoffer. Den populære hvide Selvom grøn te stadig er populært hos tedrikkere, har den hvide variation taget over. Hvid te fyldes i øjeblikket op i utallige tekrus og med god grund, for alle de sunde stoffer er intakte. Den hvide te er særlig eksklusiv, fordi denne tesort udelukkende består af de midterste topskud fra planten, og plukningen foretages kun få dage om året. Masser af aminosyrer og antioxidanter gør den særlig effektiv mod feber, da de spæde bladknopper er bakteriedræbende. Den anbefales også mod tandkødsbetændelse og paradentose, og skønhedsindustrien blander hvid teekstrakt i produkter til bekæmpelse af rynker. Falsk men fyrig Sorten Rooibos, også kendt som rød te, er i mange teentusiasters øjne slet ikke en rigtig te. Rooibos er snarere en urtete fremstillet fra en nåletræslignende busk fra Sydafrika og er ikke som de andre tetyper en del af planten Camellia Sinensis. Denne afrikanske te har imidlertid trukket en bred fanskare til sig i både Europa og USA i løbet af de seneste år. Teen er særlig sund med et rigt indhold af både C-vitaminer, jern og kalcium. Den er mild for maven og et godt alternativ til den grønne te, som nogle finder for hård og bitter. Da teen ikke indeholder koffein, tyer mange gravide og ammende kvinder til Rooibos. Den har ry for at sætte mælkeproduktionen op, men også tedrikkere med søvnproblemer holder af denne afrikanske sort. Den næste trend Imens kvalitetsbevidste tedrikkere nærer sig ved den helsevirkende hvide te, er de næste tetoner så småt slået an. Hos Simply Tea spår Alexis Kaae både Oolong og pu-erh te en varm velkomst blandt tedrikkere fremover. Ikke mindst fordi begge tetyper er gode for fordøjelsen og har en slankende effekt. Især pu-erh te nedbryder beviseligt fedtstoffer og olier, bl.a. fordi teen tilsættes mikroorganismer og en svampekultur. Denne te er modsat den grønne te bedst, hvis den lagres i mange år. Ni til ti år er den typiske lagringstid, men visse typer lagres mellem 50 og 60 år. Stofferne i teen udrenser kroppen og er særlig gavnlige for nyre og lever.

9 16 new norm new norm Design should meet real needs and please all five senses, say the designers behind Norm, Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen and Kasper Rønn. A classic, recognisable shape is given an original twist that draws attention. A new material or tiny detail generates the desire to touch the product, to smell it and enjoy the sound of it being placed upon the table. Norm unites optimal function with aesthetic beauty, and adds that little something extra that grants the product its timeless strength and soul. Therefore we have named the collection New Norm. photography by jonas bjerre-poulsen

10 18 Stack it stack it 19 stack it photography by jonas bjerre-poulsen Tray, Cool Pad and Porcelain Dish for keeping your food cool. Tray and Cuttingboard with juice channel for keeping meet juices under control. With four parts that can be combined, Menu s serving and carving set provides an array of possibilities for presenting any kind of meal optimally. When you have planned a perfect dinner, carefully selected fresh ingredients, spent hours in the kitchen and designed an attractive table setting, it would be a shame if the cold starter was served lukewarm or the tablecloth was stained by dripping meat juices from the serving dish. To succeed, one needs more than a standard serving dish, but what? Menu and the designer duo Norm, sat down to solve this problem. The result is a multifunctional serving and carving set, consisting of a melamine tray, a bamboo board, a porcelain dish and a cooling pad, which all can be used individually. Put the cooling pad in the freezer and afterwards place it between the tray and dish. Suddenly, the serving set is transformed into a cooling tray that can keep desserts, sushi, lunch dishes and starters fresh throughout your meal! Combined with the attractive bamboo board, the tray is converted into a carving set equipped with silicone pads so that it remains steady on the table and in the tray, while a large cut out cross in the middle keeps the roast in place and channels meat juices down in the tray. Bestående af fire dele, som kan kombineres, giver Menus serverings- og forskærersæt et hav af muligheder for at præsentere ethvert måltid, så det tager sig bedst muligt ud. Når du har planlagt en perfekt middag, nøje udvalgt de friske råvarer, tilbragt timevis i køkkenet og udtænkt en flot borddækning, så er det da en skam, hvis den kolde forret serveres lunken eller dugen bliver plettet, fordi der drypper kødsaft fra serveringsfadet. For at undgå det, har du brug for noget mere end et almindeligt serveringsfad, men hvad? Menu og designerduoen Norm har sat sig for at løse dette problem. Resultatet er et multifunktionelt serverings- og forskærersæt, som består at en melaminbakke, et bambusskærebræt, et porcelænsfad og et køleelement, som alle kan anvendes hver for sig. Placer afkølingsmåtten i fryseren, og læg den derefter mellem bakken og fadet. Pludselig er serveringssættet omdannet til en afkølingsbakke, som kan holde desserter, sushi, frokostretter og forretter friske gennem hele måltidet! Når bakken så kombineres med det flotte bambusskærebræt, forvandler den sig til et forskærersæt! Med silikonepuder under bunden står det godt fast på bordet og i bakken, selv når du skærer store skiver af. Stegen bliver stille og roligt liggende og kødsaften løber ned i bakken nedenunder.

14 26 Steam tower steam tower 27 it BAKED HALIBUT WITH MISO ON SHITAKE MUSHROOMS recipe by morten køster steams easy It is easy to cook healthy food with Menu s beautiful steam cooker, Steam Tower, in which vegetables, meat and rice can be steamed all at the same time. Christian Bjørn Words by Mette simonsen Recipe by Morten Køster Photography by Line thit klein 4 pieces cod/halibut, 150 gr. each 4 tbsp. miso paste (use the dark one) mixed with 1 tbsp. soy sauce 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1/4 chilli, finely chopped 1 tbsp ginger cut into matchstick size 1 tbsp galangal root cut into matchstick size 2 tbsp. sesame oil 2 tsp. fish sauce 1 bunch spring onions, finely sliced in rings 150 gr. shitake mushrooms cut from the stem 1 pack noodles 1 broccoli, cut into small bouquets 1 bunch green asparagus Loads of dirty dishes, a blazing-hot oven, and all four burners on the go is not an unusual scenario when there s cooking to be done. In our busy daily lives balancing work, family and leisure, often there isn t much time left over to prepare healthy food for our family meals. Qualities such as fast and easy to prepare become priorities. But the desire for healthy food can become reality with the help of the Menu Steam Tower, a modern steamer that quickly and easily assists you in preparing healthy, tasty and nutritional meals served in beautiful porcelain bowls. Straight from the oven. Many of us don t have the time and energy it takes to make a healthy meal after a long day at work, but the Steam Tower makes it easy. You simply gather all of your ingredients in one bowl instead of using one pot for the rice, a wok for the vegetables and a pan to fry the meat, explains health guru and chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan. Five fireproof porcelain dishes two lids and three dishes form the basic cornerstone of Steam Tower. The pieces stack on top of one another and are placed over water inside the oven. When the water begins to steam, it penetrates the porcelain layers and steams the ingredients, keeping the nutrients where they belong in the food as it cooks. Steaming food is a delicate preparation method that maintains the flavour of the vegetables. This allows you to experience the food in a very pure form as opposed to boiled vegetables, where the hot water simply drains much of the nutrition right out of the food, says Oscar Umahro Cadogan, who compares boiling to taking a bath: The result is wrinkled skin, while a steam bath provides the body with moisture and warmth. Making the most of flavour Steam Tower features lids at the bottom and the top, as well as a sealed bowl and two dishes with holes in the base to allow the vegetable and meat juices to add flavour to the layers below. I prefer the vegetables at the top since they usually require less cooking time and are put in the oven last. Pasta, rice or bulgur should go at the bottom, and I place the meat in the middle so it drips juices and flavour onto the carbohydrates in the lowest layer. This method really helps to make the most of Cut a round piece of baking paper and place it in the tier with holes. Place the 4 pieces of cod/halibut in the tier and spread with the miso mixed with soy sauce, finely chopped garlic and a little chilli, salt and pepper. In the middle tier with holes, place the broccoli and asparagus cut into 5 cm pieces. Sprinkle with a little slightly spicy sesame oil and fish sauce as well as with salt and pepper. Take care when adding salt as the fish sauce functions as salt. In the lower tier, place 1 pack noodles and pour boiling water on top as well as the ginger cut into strips and a vegetable stock cube or dashi. Stack all the tiers and bake in the over at 200 C for minutes with the lid on (depending on the thickness of the cod). Fry the shitake mushrooms until golden in a saucepan and sprinkle with the finely chopped spring onions and pour over the cod/ halibut just before serving. the flavour, explains the health expert, who points out that steaming is more environmentally friendly, as it allows everything to be prepared in the oven at the same time. Oscar Umahro Cadogan encourages users to experiment with Steam Tower, as poultry, seafood, fish and chopped lamb and goulash meat are very suitable for steaming. Along with root vegetables, vegetables and rice, pasta, bulgur and lentils, the possibilities are endless for creating healthy, nutritional meals packed with vitamins. And any leftovers can be easily refrigerated in the dishes they were cooked in simply top the dish with the Steam Tower lid. Fast, easy, and healthy. Masser af opvask, en ovn, der snurrer, og kogeplader på fuldt blus er ikke et usædvanlig scenarie, når der laves mad rundt omkring i køkkenerne. I en travl hverdag, hvor både arbejde, familie og fritid skal gå op i en højere enhed, er det imidlertid ikke hver dag, at sund mad står højest på listen, når familiemiddagen skal tilberedes. Den skal helst være både let og hurtig at lave. Men disse ønsker om sund mad kan sagtens indfri med Menus Steam Tower, som er en moderne dampkoger, der nemt og hurtigt hjælper med at få sund, velsmagende og næringsrig mad på bordet, serveret i smukke porcelænsskåle. Direkte fra ovnen. Mange kan ikke overskue at lave sund mad efter en lang dag på jobbet, men med Steam Tower bliver det overskueligt. Du kan samle al maden i en beholder frem for at sætte gang i en gryde til risene, en wok til grøntsagerne og en pande til kødet, siger sundhedsguru og kok Oscar Umahro Cadogan. Fem ildfaste porcelænsfade, bestående af to låg og tre fade, udgør grundstenen i Steam Tower, og alle dele bygges oven på hinanden og placeres i ovnen oven på vand. Når vandet bliver til damp, trænger det gennem de forskellige porcelænslag og damper ingredienserne, så næringsstofferne forbliver i maden. At dampe mad er en nænsom tilberedningsmetode, hvor man bibeholder smagen fra grøntsagerne. Man oplever simpelthen maden i en meget ren form modsat kogte grøntsager, hvor det varme vand trækker meget af næringen ud af maden, siger Oscar Umahro Cadogan, der sammenligner kogning med et karbad: Du får rynket rosinhud af det, mens dampbade blot giver fugt og varme til kroppen. Udnyt smagen Steam Tower har et låg i bund og top, en lukket skål samt to fade med bundhuller, så safterne fra både grønt og kød kan tilsætte smag til de nedre fade. Jeg foretrækker grøntsagerne øverst, da de oftest skal have kortest tid og derfor bliver sat i ovnen til sidst. Nederst har jeg pasta, ris eller bulgur, og i midten sætter jeg kødet, som drypper saft og kraft til kulhydraterne i bunden. På den måde udnytter jeg al smagen, siger sundhedseksperten og understreger, at damp som tilberedningsmetode er mere miljøvenlig, da alt tilberedes i ovnen på samme tid. Oscar Umahro Cadogan opfordrer også til at udforske og eksperimentere med Steam Tower, da både fjerkræ, skaldyr, fisk og udskåret kød som lammebov eller gullasch er særdeles velegnet at dampe. Sammen med rodfrugter, grøntsager og ris, pasta, bulgur og linser kan man sammensætte sund mad i uendelige varianter. Det der ikke bliver spist ved middagsbordet, kan placeres i køleskabet i Steam Tower med låg på toppen til dagen efter. Nemt, hurtigt og sundt.

Sprinkle it all with olive oil and bake for 20 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees centigrade. Remove the toothpicks and serve the dish with perhaps boiled gnocchi folded together with freshly cut parsley or a bowl of new potatoes. Perhaps even with just a fresh green salad. Place the strawberries and rhubarb together with the sugar and coarsely crushed macaroons. Add the grated peel of the lime bake for 5-7 minutes until the surface becomes slightly brown. Leave it to stand so it is served slightly warm. Service with a cold crème of 1/4 litre double cream whisk together with 1/4 litre mascarpone and 1 vanilla pod, 2 tbsp. icing sugar. Garnish with lemon balm and sprinkle with hazelnuts. (This is baked in the tier with holes, covered with baking paper cut to size. Remember the plate) The top When Steam Tower is in the oven, place a lid on the top to keep in the steam. Two lids are supplied and both can also be used as trivets when serving. 1rst tier Bowl with holes in the bottom so the juice and liquid from vegetables, fish, meat and other ingredients drip down into the bottom bowl. 2nd tier Bowl with holes in the bottom so the juice and liquid from vegetables, fish, meat and other ingredients drip down into the bottom bowl. 3rd tier Bottom Bowl without holes. Here, the liquid and sauce are collected. The bowl has a practical grip edge so you can easily take the entire Steam Tower from the oven and directly onto the dining table.

16 Stackable cooking 31 stackable cooking Stackable cooking Christian Bjørn photography by peter M. Madsen Revolutionary ovenproof dishes Ingenuity and thought out details. In other words -innovation. Menu has invented an ovenproof dish that provides entirely new possibilities for cooking. Cook several dishes simultaneously To save time. The dishes are available in three sizes. Each size fits on top of a dish of the same size but you can also mix the three sizes. Two medium-sized dishes fit on top of the biggest one and two of the smallest on top of the medium-sized ones. In so doing, you can place two dishes on top of each other in which each dish or ingredient is heated separately. Each corner of the dishes is fitted with a leg of heat-resistant silicone. This means that you can move them directly from the oven to the table without using trivets. You can also place two dishes on top of each other and place a tea light in the bottom one so you can keep the food warm. Opfindsomhed og gennemtænkte detaljer. Nytænkning med andre ord. Menu har opfundet et ovnfast fad, som giver helt nye muligheder for madlavning. Fadene fås i tre størrelser. Hver størrelse passer oven i et fad af samme størrelse men du kan også blande de tre størrelser. To mellemstore fade passer oven i det største, og to af de mindste oven i det mellemstore. På den måde kan du fx lægge to lag fade oven på hinanden, hvor hver ret eller ingrediens opvarmes for sig. I hvert hjørne er fadene forsynet med et ben af varmebestandigt silikone. Det vil sige, at du kan tage dem direkte ud af ovnen og sætte dem på bordet uden bordskåner. Du kan også sætte to fade oven på hinanden og placere fyrfadslys i det nederste, på den måde kan du holde maden varm. 3 modular oven dishes stack in the oven. Lets you cook several dishes at the same time. Silicone feet lets you serve the hot dish directly on the dinner table no trivet needed! Use tealights to keep your dish warm for hours. Nests in cupboards and drawers to save space. 3 modular size: 35x24cm, 24x17cm and 17x12cm. High grade porcelain fired at 1340 degrees to increase durability.
