This Oatmeal's A Blast!




Today on Tonia's Kitchen we let the men have at the cooking. Author Steven Raichlen, who wrote the book Man Made Meals - The Essential Cookbook for Guys came by to talk about what could be the most in your face breakfast we've ever talked about: Blowtorch Oatmeal.  Yes, it does involve a blowtorch!  Steven told Tonia says first off, it's a lot of fun!  Secondly, it's delicious.  He starts with cooked steel-cut oats, then sprinkles a light layer of sugar and brings on the blowtorch!  Firing the torch at the sugar creates a brulee-effect and it becomes caramelized.   The effect is simple, delicious and not the least of all, unique!
