Orange(!) is the new black. (A Giveaway)

By 148 Comments

I am waiting (a little impatiently) for my fabulous new kitchen appliances to be delivered. I think we're still about a week out from that. You would think I'd be totally content now since I'm getting all new appliances, but you know how it is, suddenly everything starts looking like it needs upgrading or replacing. *sigh*

There is, however, one item in my kitchen that still makes me completely happy and that is my IMUSA USA Orange(!) caldero. I use it constantly and am always looking for new recipes to make in it.

IMUSA USA orange caldero

Arroz con pollo. Carne con papas. Sopa de pollo. All made in my beautiful Orange(!) caldero. I am starting to think it has magical properties because everything I've made in it tastes amazing. I have to add that I also go ahead and put the Orange(!) caldero straight on the table, not because I'm lazy (shut up. I'm not!), but because it's so seriously beautiful.

My good friend, Chef Ana (don't-hate-me-because-I'm-beautiful) Quincoces shares her recipe for some amazing Pulled Pork Sliders in her Orange(!) caldero.

Brilliant, no?

 

Doesn't that just make you want this beautiful Orange(!) caldero to cook something fabulous in?

      I would love to make chicken soup with all the vegetables in this caldero. It is winter and the soup will be a great recipe to keep us warm.By the way, I am already a member at the IMUSA page and love it. Have been receiving their comments for a while.
      Thanks Marta!

      My favorite recipe that I know will come out perfectly every time in my IMUSA Orange Caldero would be my famous, Pollo Juanito, an old family recipe made specially by Tata for my finicky nephew Juanito, that by the way just turned 52 last year…even though I made little variations to the original recipe it is always a crowd pleaser, specially my grandchildren. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to enter to win this marvelous and beautiful kitchen equipment.

      Ayyyy… things to make, the possibilities are endless! I might start with fricasse de pollo. Yeah, that would be tasty. Mmmmmm. Then, I’d move on to picadillo. Or carne con papas. Or something else… chili!

      As soon as I have my new IMUSA USA I will cook Arina con Jaibas ! Do you know that the color orange opens/induce the apetite? I always serve and use some orange at the table when my 8 years old grand daughter is visiting because she is a very bad eater.

      There are so many things I would make in this caldero! My favorite (this week!) would probably be fricase de pollo a lo Cubano, but I’ve been dying to try tamal en cazuela. My husband wants arroz con pollo.

      Well, normally, I would say that I would make my Thai Chicken Curry but since I’m on a special diet right now I will have to say that I would make one of my different broths that I eat every day, all day:)

      I can think of a lot of things that will taste better in this orange caldero for example my carne con papas but I really like how the arroz con fideo taste when cooked in a caldero specially si se hace pegao. yum yum! Thank you for this giveaway.

      I love this orange caldero. The color reminds me of my Mother’s harina sazonada. It’s spicy, filled with chunks of pork and has an orangy color. I would love to make a pot of it right now. Cuban comfort food!

      Both my parents are cubans and ever since my mom had a bad accident 4 years ago my dad has been the Family Chef! He makes the best arroz con pollo and paellas. He is teaching me how to make a Paella “A lo Gustavo” haha like he calls it, and I would just love to use my new caldero to cook it in and also a nice Ajiaco for mami! ๐Ÿ™‚

      This is exactly what I need since I left Miami to be in the military years ago and have gotten stationed in places that don’t even have any Cuban restaurants or food so I have been forced to be “tremenda cocinera!”. I would live to have this to make my dishes more traditional! Especially since my redneck husband loves my cooking ๐Ÿ˜‰ <3
