SEATTLE – Adding flavor to your favorite foods has never been easier. No need to fuss with marinades and rubs as Callisons new product, Seasoned Skewers, is revolutionizing the way people cook. Callisons Seasoned Skewers are one of the most innovative and exciting products to hit the market in recent years and was recently recognized with the Gourmet Gold Best of Show distinction at the Las Vegas Gourmet Housewares Show.
Made by infusing wooden skewers with essential oils and fresh flavors, Callisons Seasoned Skewers saturate meats, poultry, fish and vegetables with big flavor from the inside out in just minutes. Offered in six, succulent flavors, (Citrus Rosemary, Mexican Fiesta, Honey Bourbon, Garlic Herb, Thai Coconut Lime, and Indian Mango Curry), the product is sure to satisfy everyone’s unique tastes.
“Callisons Seasoned Skewers are a fresh new way to add big, bold flavor to your favorite foods,” said Damon Smith, president of Callisons Fine Foods. “By adding flavor from within, the seasonings penetrate the inside of what you are skewering, instead of hovering only on its surface -- allowing for unparalleled taste and enjoyment.”
All Natural Skewers Offer Taste and Convenience
The benefits of Callisons unique skewers extend far beyond the satisfying taste. The skewers are 100% natural, flavored with herbal extracts and natural oils. Much to the delight of health and nutrition enthusiasts, they are also free of fat and sodium, making healthy eating simple and delicious.
In addition to the health benefits, Callisons Seasoned Skewers are also quick and easy to use. In just 15 minutes, they can turn a boring meal into a flavorful, nutritious feast. Once the food is placed on the skewers, it simply needs to sit for 10-15 minutes before cooking, then cooked to taste and enjoyed. Cleanup is also a breeze as the skewers can just be tossed in the wastebasket or recycling bin after use, resulting in little to no mess.
Callisons Seasoned Skewers are available in convenient ten-packs in each of the six delicious flavors – perfect for preparing a family dinner or dazzling guests. Callisons Seasoned Skewers also make grilling on-the-go effortless, for the small, thin packages are easy to transport, adding savory flavor to food at your next tailgate party or camping trip.
The skewers are not limited to grilling. With this versatile product, food can also be slow-roasted, baked in the oven or pan-seared on the stovetop. The culinary possibilities are endless, allowing the cook freedom to experiment and be creative.
Kathy Casey, well-known Seattle chef, cookbook author and food consultant who worked with Callisons on flavor development says, “This is one of the most innovative products I have ever seen. To get an intense flavor profile like Thai Coconut Lime infused into a food product with only a skewer and a few minutes, it's amazing"
For summer release Casey has created recipes like Honey Bourbon Brautwurst, Garlic Herb Steak with Bruschetta Grilled Cherry Tomatoes, Thai Shrimp & Pineapple Skewers and Indian Curry Grilled Bananas with Caramel Sauce and Coconut - all using Seasoned Skewers. The recipes are attached.
