So I've got on before about how awesome Demarle is (seriously, every paleo kitchen needs Demarle). Easy to cook in, easy to clean. However, I have noticed that sometimes, especially after cooking fish, that it's hard to get the smell out of my pan.
My microwave was really dirty, so naturally I turned to Pinterest for an easier way to clean it, and discovered the vinegar trick. Take 1 cup of white vinegar, 1 cup of hot water, put it in a pyrex and then put it in your microwave for about 5-10 minutes. Once it's done, just wipe it out with paper towel. Easy peasy, worked great.
It dawned on me that this same procedure should work since Demarle is microwave safe. I put my large Demarle pan in the microwave with the vinegar/water mix and turned it on for 5 minutes. Wow! Looks like it's new and the smell is completely neutral. You would want to experiment with the amount of water needed for different shapes/sizes.

Benessare Olive Oils and Vinegars
Wow - got a Groupon for this place and checked it out. I had gotten some of the aged balsamic vinegars before, but was in a hurry that day. Today I had time to really look around and taste - they offer free tasting of everything.
The Balsamic vinegars. are. amazing.
Seriously, you can drink them straight out of a little cup. They can be used as marinades, salad dressings, or even for an ice cream topping (I know you think I'm crazy, but just try it sometime!).
I got the Red Apple, Violet and Lemon Grass Mint this time.
Then I tried out some of the oils. In addition to olive oils, they also have other varieties such as truffle (too strong for my taste buds!) and French Walnut. I had no idea walnut oil existed, but it is spectacular!
I got the French Walnut and an orange olive oil.
They had some ideas - combine the Red Apple Vinegar with the Walnut Oil on arugula, add some nuts and blue cheese. We subbed some goat cheese and it was delish!
They also suggest the orange olive oil with cinnamon pear - kind of wishing I'd picked some of that up! I would highly recommend you try this place out, I foresee many wonderful salads in our future (and vinegar-covered coconut ice cream).
