Cooking at Schaefer's

I love working with Shaefer's. Last weekend I made homemade mini burgers in their Jenn-Air kitchen. I used the Kitchen Aid Mixer with its various attachments to grind the meat, mix in the seasonings, and knead the dough for the buns. I programmed the oven to let the buns rise. When it came time to bake the buns, the heat came on so quickly that I was able to leave them in the oven the entire time.

I'll be cooking every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at Schaefer's, 4700 R Street in Lincoln.  Stop by and watch me cook, and be sure to try a sample.  See you there!
