—- NEW OUTDOOR COOKING TELEVISION SHOW

     SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 2002 LAUNCH ON RFD-TV —

Marble Hill, MO – May 22, 2002 — Campfire Cafe with chef Johnny Nix is a one-hour cooking show featuring recipes prepared over an open fire. EMG Productions announces the premiere of a new, weekly television show in the equestrian programming block on RFD-TV Network. The format of the show will include preparing and cooking a variety of recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Johnny Nix has been an avid campfire cook for over 20 years and has appeared on other RFD-TV programs, including Ride With The Stars(tm) and Downunder Horsemanship TV.

Cooking outdoors over a campfire requires more knowledge and expertise than cooking on a backyard barbecue grill. Chef Johnny Nix will prepare dishes of surprising complexity – from “No Bull Prime Rib” to “Bodacious Baked Pears” – that are not typical campground fare. A blacksmith by trade, Alabama native Johnny Nix prepares his recipes using his own, unique hand-forged Cowboy Cookware, specifically designed for cooking with heavy cast iron Dutch ovens, pots, pans, grills and griddles.

The Campfire Cafe chef will be camping with horses during filming, so the show will also feature brief segments related to issues faced when camping and traveling with horses. This unique aspect of the show will offer viewers the opportunity to learn more about horses, as well as products and equipment designed to make horse ownership and travel more convenient and safe.

The initial 13-week series will be filmed at the Sam A. Baker State Park in Patterson, Missouri. This state park features a new equestrian campground with special amenities designed to make camping with horses safe and enjoyable. The show will include campsites and trailrides in the beautiful Missouri Ozark Mountains.

RFD-TV is a non-profit, PBS format network broadcast on DISH Network(tm) channel 9409, and DirecTV(tm) channel 379, to a viewing audience of over 17 million households nationwide. RFD-TV is the first 24-hour, direct broadcast television network dedicated to serving the needs and interests of rural America. Plans are also being made to broadcast 1/2-hour episodes of Campfire Cafe on other commercial networks in the future.

For more information, or to schedule interviews with Chef Johnny Nix, please call EMG Productions at (800) 556 0414.

Lawn Mower Blades

Garner, NC (PRWEB) May 7, 2009 -

In much of the US, springtime kicks off a season of cleaning, planting, and readying the lawn and garden after a winter of mostly indoor living. Even in Sun Belt states, where lawn mowing and growing seasons go on all year long, spring is a time of gearing up.

One company with its hand on that pulse is Agri Supply, a home, workshop, and agricultural retail center based in North Carolina and stocking 26,000 items online. Serving homeowners, landscapers, farmers and ranchers, Agri Supply is currently seeing peak seasonal demand for ag sprayers, spreaders, harrow discs, and  especially  lawn mower blades.

Mowing America’s Lawns (All 20 Million Acres of Them)

America’s lawns amount to 20 million acres of grass under cultivation, an area about the size of the entire state of Wisconsin. According to research scientist Cristina Milesi, lawns are America’s largest irrigated crop.

To keep all that turf nicely trimmed and looking good takes an army of lawn mowers – an estimated 40 million lawn mowers, to be specific. And to keep all those mowers running, Americans buy millions of lawnmower parts and replacement mower blades.

Whether you’re a homeowner or landscaper, no doubt you’ve experienced the effect of an ill-placed rock on a mower blade. Even without rocks, blades are subject to normal dulling and wear-and-tear. Agri Supply stores stock a stunning 50,000 lawnmower blades. Online, the company maintains what may be the largest lawn mower blade finder on the web, carrying OEM replacement blades, plus blades made to fit all the major mower brands, among them:

AYP, Sears, Roper & Craftsman mower blades
John Deere & Scotts mower blades
MTD mower blades
Murray mower blades
Snapper mower blades
Toro mower blades
Cub Cadet mower blades

Agri Supply also inventories a huge array of mower parts, ranging from the most frequently needed items (air filters, belts, and blades) to the more obscure but all-important bearings, bushings, idlers, and more

It’s all part of what has become a multi-billion dollar US industry. Bruce Butterfield, research director for the National Gardening Association, estimates that Americans poured almost $ 26 billion into lawn care and landscape maintenance in 2006.

There are over 10,000 species of grass, but only about 50 of them are suitable for lawn use. Today’s lawn grass species are unique in that they can be frequently mowed and survive, even thrive. Any other plant (including most wild grasses) would die after regular mowing.

Agri Supply sells grass seed online including Rye grass seed, Kentucky Fescue, and special feed plot seed to attract deer and other wild game. And as any farmer knows, grass growing out of place is just a weed, hence the several varieties of grass killer and weed killer available.

Other top products at this time of year are grass seed and fertilizer spreaders, and a variety of ag sprayers and sprayer parts.

Something for Everyone, Since 1962

Agri Supply got its start as a family owned group of farm stores back in 1962, based in Garner, North Carolina.

Now, more than 40 years later, Agri Supply has seven retail store locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. The company mails several mail-order catalogs a year, but lately it is Agri Supply’s website that has really been growing by leaps and bounds. From what began as only farm items, the online inventory now tops over 26,000 items and counting.

This ever-growing online selection is just part of living up to the company’s slogan, “Something for Everyone for your Farm, Shop & Home.”

“Our product line has expanded to cover your needs,” said Kim Calhoun, Agri Supply Marketing Manager, “and it will continue to do so  no matter whether you are on the farm needing that part for your tractor, in the shop looking for that perfect power tool, in the home preparing a scrumptious dinner, or in the garden trying to teach those weeds a lesson.”

The top product lines cover the spectrum of the American farm, home, and garden scene:

Ag & Tillage – farm machinery parts and implements, hydraulics, ptos, sprayers, tillage, and tractor accessories
Construction – building and surveyor supplies
Cooking – enamel and cast-iron cookware, Dutch ovens, turkey fryers, griddles, grills and grill covers
Home, Lawn & Garden – cleaning supplies, work clothes, lawn mower parts, paint and painting supplies
Livestock & Pet Feed, Fencing & Supplies
Plumbing & Electrical
Shop & Tool – hand and power tools, welding supplies, pressure washers.
Sporting Goods – boating, camping, and hunting supplies
Tires, Wheels & Tubes – for trailers, ATVs, lawn mowers, farm implements and more
Trailers & Trailer Parts
Trucking, Towing & Automotive – batteries, fluids, truck boxes, racks, mats, winches

Even amid all the expansion and diversification which Agri Supply has seen over the years, one thing that has never changed is its commitment to customers. Since 1962, customers have always been number one, and the company has stayed true to the mission laid out four decades ago by Agri Supply founder A.W. Partlo:

“Agri Supply’s goal is to provide quality merchandise at the most reasonable price, to give our customers the best service possible, and to treat all customers fairly.”

About Agri Supply

Agri Supply is a family owned company headquartered in Garner, North Carolina. Since 1962, Agri Supply has been the industry leader for farm machinery implements and parts, shop tools, lawn and garden equipment, and truck and trailer accessories. Agri Supply has one of the largest inventories of lawn mower blades carrying over 50,000 in stock. Agri Supply has now added cooking and sporting goods sections with a large assortment of cast iron cookware and hunting supplies. With over 26,000 items in stock at Agri Supply, we truly have something for everyone.

More Cast Iron Cookware Press Releases

(PRWEB) January 6, 2005

Open fire cooking is certainly nothing new, but introducing this traditional method as an entertaining, recreational activity for enjoyment today is a new concept that’s catching on to viewers of the program nationwide. Campfire Cafe, now in its sixth season, has brought this lost art front and center by preparing delicious, unexpected gourmet recipes in a way that has empowered outdoor enthusiasts everywhere to give open fire cooking a try.

Growing popularity of the series prompted the introduction of open hearth cooking in the new season premiering March 1, 2005. Viewers will continue to be inspired by the ease in which Johnny prepares entrees like Tennessee Tenderloin Tips and Turn Spit Cornish Game Hens, or Wild Berry Buckle and Apple Pecan Dumpling desserts, high on the hill overlooking the sleepy, Southern town of Lynchburg – home of the Jack Daniel’s Distillery for well over 130 years.

Filming the series in Lynchburg offered the perfect backdrop for resurrecting this way of cooking that has deep traditional roots in the history of our country. The series will also share the legacy of American icon, Jack Daniel, and the heritage of the area that he was so instrumental in creating. Viewers will be surprised to learn that the values embraced and traditions started by Mr. Jack in the 1800’s are still very much alive and that nothing much has changed in the way his famous brand is made today. Exploring the culinary heritage of open hearth cooking in this area would not be complete without a few recipes using the famous local product! Down-home cooking at this historic location, in a way that keeps one of our most valued, basic traditions alive, proved to be a winning recipe for this exciting new 13-episode spring series.

The Campfire Cafe television series is entering its sixth season on public television and airs on over 100 PBS stations nationally. The series also airs on RFD-TV on DISH Network and DIRECTV, PAX network affiliates and various cable networks.

About the Show: Campfire Cafe™ is a weekly television series that focuses on two extremely popular outdoor activities – cooking and eating. Produced by EMG Productions, the show features a variety of gourmet recipes prepared and cooked outdoors over an open fire. Recipes are prepared in “real-time” and cooked using cast iron and the now famous Cowboy Cookware® designed by host Johnny Nix. The show encourages enjoyment of the great outdoors and empowers viewers to try open fire cooking by introducing meals not typically prepared outdoors in an engaging and entertaining manner. This wholesome, family-oriented program appeals to viewers of all ages, both male and female, from all economic backgrounds and all walks of life. Everybody has to eat; it’s where and how you cook a meal that makes eating fun!

Marble Hill, MO (PRWEB) September 27, 2005

With the price of gas on the rise in America, more families are seeking inexpensive recreational activities such as outdoor cooking and camping. Campfire Café weekly TV shows entertain viewers with demonstrations of gourmet meals prepared outdoors and cooked entirely over an open fire. Host Johnny Nix’s entertaining delivery of tips and techniques for successful open fire cooking includes practical use of the campfire, open hearth, and portable fire pit.

In January 2006, Nix takes his expertise of the lost art of open fire cooking on the road. Three-day Tour stops at KOA Kampgrounds across the country will allow family participation in hands-on cooking clinics and seminars. Nix will also hold book-signing sessions to autograph copies of the new Campfire Café cookbook, Over The Open Fire. The 264-page cookbook appeals to all ages and is considered a significant new resource, “a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts and hesitant campers looking to bring with them the culinary comforts of home”, as reviewed by Kirkus Reports.

Campfire Café Executive Producer and author of the cookbook, Pamela Alford has over 35 years of cooking experience, both outdoors and in the kitchen. Show host Johnny Nix is the nation’s leading expert on open fire cooking, sharing 25 years of experience with millions of viewers nationwide each week. Together, the two adapt recipes for open fire cooking as seen in the television episodes and featured in the cookbook.

The KOA/Campfire Café Cookin’ Camp Tour starts in January 2006 and offers one or two-day cooking clinics that will introduce open fire basics, as well as some advanced cooking techniques. From wood selection and fire control, to equipment and safety, Nix covers all related topics with hands-on, step-by-step preparation of recipes using Campfire Café’s Cowboy Cookware® and accessories made by Lodge, tour sponsor and manufacturer of the only cast iron used on the show. “We hope the tour will remind folks that traditional open fire cooking can be a lot of fun, but that it can also be a critical skill to have in a variety of situations”, says Nix.

Tour details and information can be found on-line at http://www.campfirecafe.com or by calling (800) 556 0414. Viewers nationwide are invited to submit their hometown KOA Kampground as a potential Tour stop in 2006. Tickets for Tour Cookin’ Camp clinics may be purchased on-line starting November 15, 2005.

Himalayan Salt Chef

Evansville, IN (PRWEB) January 28, 2009

Today, Himalayan Salt Chef™ is pleased to announce its participation in the, ‘Taste of the NFL’ at Superbowl XLIII in Florida, on January 31st. At $ 500-a-plate, this star-studded annual event is a fixture the eve before the Superbowl and features a silent auction that has to date donated millions of dollars to feed the hungry and is even more difficult to get into than the Superbowl itself.

Michael Gallagher, of Himalayan Salt Chef™, commented, “Himalayan Salt Chef™ developed their line of salt-based cookware because it is truly wholesome: all 84 beneficial minerals and trace elements are available in a unique form that can be easily absorbed and metabolized by the body, and the rich delicious taste is absorbed naturally, through the process of cooking and baking.”

This beautiful line of cookware includes a mortar and pestle, baking bricks, presentation slabs, utility plates, chef bowls, chopping blocks and cutting boards, all of which are antimicrobial and add a unique and healthy mineral-rich flavor of Himalayan pink salt to any preparation without the additional use of salt or high sodium soy sauce (see detailed products below).

Himalayan Salt Chef™ will join Martha Stewart Living Radio and Tom Colicchio, the head judge on Bravo’s Award-winning culinary hit series “Top Chef” who is teaming up with the ‘Taste of the NFL’ to help tackle hunger in America. The silent auction entertainment is to be supplied by The Max Weinberg Seven (Max is the Band Leader for the Conan O’Brien Show on NBC and is also Bruce Springsteen’s drummer in the E Street Band).

Himalayan salt kitchenware has been featured recently on NBC, Food Network, Iron Chef America and highlighted in national publications such as Newsweek, New York Magazine, Martha Stewart Living Magazine, etc. Himalayan Salt Chef is the premier manufacturer of salt kitchenware and in 2009 will introduce their complete line in North America.

The rarest and most precious form of natural salt, Himalayan Crystal Salt was formed millions of years ago, under the pressure of the Himalayan Mountains, where ancient seas had dried up from the extreme heat of the sun, thus trapping the sun’s energy. This enormous pressure changed the molecular structure of the rock salt deposits, making it the best quality crystal salt in the world.

The Company:

Himalayan Salt Chef produces a unique, beautiful and functional line of kitchenware that is simply the healthiest way of preparing food. Himalayan Salt Chef was formed in 2008 with its stated goal of bringing the benefits of Himalayan Salt to both professional and home chefs. They have their own factory to insure quality and the complete product line is kitchen-tested by a CIA trained chef. Whole Foods in Canada carries the complete Himalayan Salt Chef product line, and, in 2009 HSC is expanding to the U.S.

For more details on the Himalayan Salt Chef, please contact:

Himalayan Salt Chef, PO Box 5453, Evansville, IN 47715

Michael Gallagher, Phone 812-303-0701

Himalayan Salt Chef™ Products:

Chef Bowl:

A simple thing of beauty that has a myriad of uses from mixing fruits and vegetables, for that just right salt touch, to serving cold summer soups. The Salt Bowl may be oven or range top heated (see instruction guide) and used frozen or chilled to compliment a wide range of dishes.

Mortar & Pestle:

The Himalayan Salt Chef TM Mortar and Pestle is an incredible new take on an age old product. Not only grind spices, herbs, sea salts .etc, in the traditional manner while adding a unique and healthy hint of Himalayan Pink Salt to any preparation.

Geta:

Geta means “shoe” in Japanese and the HSC Salt Geta is a beautiful replica of the wooden Geta found in Sushi restaurants across the globe. Use less or no soy sauce as moist Sushi or Sashimi picks up the wonderful mineral rich flavor of HSC Salt.

Round & Square Utility Plates:

Himalayan Salt Chef ™ Round and Square Utility Plates are multi-purpose and designed to fit into standard cast iron pans for oven and range/grill use. Utility Plates may also be used as chopping blocks and cutting boards to introduce a salt touch to a variety of foods. In addition, these versatile plates may be used as serving platters for both hot and cold items.

Baking Bricks (Set of 2):

Himalayan Salt Chef ™ Baking Bricks are multi-purpose salt rectangles designed to fit 1/4 and 1/2 size baking pans. They can be used for baking, oven grilling, food presses, hot and chilled serving presentations.

Sab Set:

Himalayan Salt Chef ™ Serving Slabs are not only unique ways to present and serve seafood delicacies, but with the added benefit of giving a salty hint to moist foods such as sushi and sashimi. Forget high sodium soy sauce! Another plus is that due to their salt composition, these slabs and trays are antimicrobial by nature.

Himalayan Salt Warmer:

The HSC Salt Food Warmer is a beautiful and functional table presentation to keep cooked food warm at the dinner table. The anti-microbial salt plate sits on an attractive rosewood base. Uses standard 40W bulbs for warming and unit can be turned off for chilled or room temperature foods such as sushi.

Salt Caddy:

This unique Salt Caddy jar with an airtight salt lid has the ability to store ground herbs, spices and sea salts fresher and longer. Salt pulls moisture away from the stored food- preventing oxidation, and it looks great on the kitchen counter.

Take ON THE ROCKS to a Whole New Level

Edgewater, Florida (Vocus/PRWEB) December 13, 2010

Need a Christmas gift that is unique, useful and totally rocks? Look no further than Organic Bug! This holiday season Organic Bug is featuring soapstone products that keep drinks cold and food hot. They’re perfect for anyone on the gift list who loves to entertain and/or cook.

SPARQ Soapstone Ice Rocks are guaranteed to wow friends and family – yes, rocks! – that keep drinks cold without diluting them like ice does. Sold in a set of nine, these ice rocks are non-porous, odorless, and tasteless. Drop 2 to 3 cubes into any low-volume drink and presto – a cool, refreshing beverage without the dilution of traditional ice cubes. Ice rocks are ideal for single malt scotch and white wine. Rocks retain their chill for up to an hour which makes bartending a breeze.

At only $ 19, this eco-friendly gift is fun and affordable. Eco-friendly how? Ice rocks are reusable and entirely handcrafted from factory excess of solid soapstone. Sold in an attractive storage tin, all one needs to do is add a ribbon and gift wrapping is done.

But the soapstone magic doesn’t stop with aperitifs – it carries right on through to a meal grilled with perfection. The SPARQ Soapstone Double Burner Griddle is sure to be a hit with those who love to cook. This versatile, durable griddle can be used for everything from veggies and pizza to pancakes and cookies, and it ensures fast, even and healthy cooking every time.

“It is interesting that we are taking a step back to move forward,” says Cooking Cardiologist Dr. Richard Collins. “This is ancient technology. Cooking on the oldest appliance in the human race is now found to be healthy and beneficial. A soapstone griddle is older than any cooking utensil around today. The cavemen were on to something!”

Dr. Collins is known for providing advice on how to cook for better health. He says, “This is a much healthier way to grill in that food does not char and the indirect flame eliminates the build-up of cancer causing carcinogens. Nature’s original non-stick surface eliminates the need for harmful chemicals. Not to mention that the food is the juiciest you will get. I don’t grill without it!”

One side of the soapstone burner griddle has grooves for grilling, but flip it over and there is a flat surface that can be used to cook a variety of items on top of the stove or in the oven. Place the griddle in the freezer and it can also serve as an attractive cold serving tray.

Cut from one solid block of soapstone, this durable 11.5 x 15” grill is energy efficient, and is rated for use up to a whopping 1200 degrees Fahrenheit – over twice that of cast iron and other metal cookware. Whether it is used on a gas or electric stove the heat spreads evenly and allows for healthy cooking since its natural properties discourage sticking and the stone hasn’t been treated with any of the chemicals that are the hallmark of non-stick cookware.

“I LOVE IT! I bought one at the Home and Garden show in Denver back in September and it has not come off my grill since,” says Brad, a US Airline Pilot. “Everything I cook seems to come out juicier and in less time. The whole family is impressed… My wife even uses it on the stove and in the oven. She also warms it up and serves bread on it. Christmas presents will be easy this year!”

The Soapstone Double Burner Griddle sells for $ 100, and is also eco-friendly because it is recycled soapstone from factory excess. The griddle retains its temperature and distributes heat more efficiently so less heat is needed for cooking. Check out Organic Bug’s website for other fun, sustainable and original holiday gifts ideas!

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 19, 2006

Salter kitchen scales and accessories are now available at MetroKitchen. Salter, one of the world’s top brands of weighing scales, joins other top brands available at MetroKitchen.    

Products from Salter available at MetroKitchen.com include computerized and electronic scales, scale accessories and the Salter 5 Star Commercial Programmable Thermometer.

The Salter Nutri-Weight Dietary Computer Scale, available at MetroKitchen, analyzes nutritional content of food by portion size allowing consumers to record daily intake of nutrients and to set dietary goals.

Measuring cooking ingredients by weight rather than volume has long been the standard in Europe. Now, with an increased fashion for home cooking and health awareness, more consumers throughout the world are using kitchen scales for better portion control.

For many years the UK’s top brand of domestic weighing scales, Salter Housewares Ltd has become the leading brand in many other countries including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Chile and Portugal. Salter Housewares is rapidly growing in North America.

Salter Housewares is based in Tonbridge, Kent, England and has operations in 100 countries worldwide, including the United States and Canada.

Salter was founded in the late 1700s in the village of Bilston, England when Richard Salter, a spring maker, began making pocket steelyards, a scale similar to the fisherman’s scale of today. By 1825 his nephew George Salter had taken over the company, which became known as George Salter & Co. and later established a large manufacturing site in West Bromwich. In 1897, Salter invented the UK’s first personal weight scale and the company’s product line was later expanded to include irons, mincers, potato chippers, coin-operated machines and, another first for the United Kingdom, the typewriter. Today, the company manufactures a variety of kitchen and bath scales as well as kitchen housewares products and the Salter name has become synonymous with quality and innovation. In 2004 the U.S.-based personal wellness company HoMedics acquired Salter Housewares.

MetroKitchen offers top brands of high-quality kitchen essentials, free shipping on orders over $ 49 and all orders are sent from the MetroKitchen warehouse the next business day.

MetroKitchen.com has been in business since 1998. Brands sold by MetroKitchen.com include: All-Clad cookware, Capresso coffee, espresso machines and bean grinders, Staub enameled cast iron cookware, Scan Pan cookware, Mauviel French copper cookware, Wusthof cutlery, Henckels cutlery, Global Japanese cutlery, Kershaw cutlery, Kyocera ceramic knifes and peelers, Emerilware knives and cookware, Enclume pot racks, John Boos cutting boards, Vitamix blenders, Hearth Kitchen ovens and now Salter scales.
