Rhoda's June Picks Are In

Welcome to The Culinary Cut—a monthly digest curated by Rhoda Boone, Made In’s Culinary Creative Director. Here are the product debuts, recipes, and chef stories to keep your cooking inspired.

Product launch. Seasoned Cast Iron Collection. You asked, we cast. For years, one of the questions I've heard most often is, "When is Made In going to make cast iron?" The answer took a while because we wanted to get it right. Every detail of the Seasoned Cast Iron Collection was designed around the way professional chefs actually cook, and it shows. I've had the chance to cook with these pans for a while now, and what stands out most are the small details. The smooth cooking surface seasons beautifully, the weight feels balanced instead of cumbersome, and thoughtful touches like dual pour spouts and a comfortable handle make them feel familiar from the very first use.  Shop the Seasoned Cast Iron Collection

Video: How To Make Duck Confit Breakfast Hash. This isn't a quick weekday breakfast. It's a slow-down, enjoy-the-process, sip-a-Bloody-Mary kind of brunch dish. In this video, I'll walk you through every step, from making duck confit (yes, you can!) to building a hash of crispy potatoes, rich shredded duck, and perfectly cooked eggs, all cooked in one skillet. The result is the kind of meal people remember long after it’s over. View the Recipe
