Things changed when hip-hop went commercial, moving from the street to airways and suburban living rooms. In 1979, Sylvia Robinson and her Sugar Hill Gang released “Rappers Delight,” a fifteen-minute long single whose goofy, infectious rhymes catapulted the young genre into the mainstream. Record labels scrambled to capture, package, and sell its essence. As Chang documents in his book Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, which won the American Book Award in 2005,  the music industry quickly figured out how to polish off the excess: “Six-man crews would drop to two. Fifteen-minute party-rocking raps would become three-minute ready-for-radio singles. Hip-Hop was refined like sugar.”

When it comes to storing food safely, the refrigerator is one of the most important pieces of equipment in kitchens. It’s easy to take the appliance for granted, but we’re reminded of the importance of refrigerating perishable food if the power goes out. Refrigeration is imperative because it slows bacterial growth and keeps the levels of bacteria at a safe level where they won’t cause us illness.

The 120-litre freezer capacity perhaps isn’t as impressive as the exterior dimensions might suggest, though. It gives away perhaps 15-20 litres on some similarly sized four-door models.

Big Break: While studying abroad in Paris during her sophomore year at New York University, Ms. Kirchhoff learned how to D.J. at the hip nightclub Le Montana, which led to a regular Friday night gig at the Top of the Standard when she returned to New York. Around that time, Ms. Kirchhoff ordered a cocktail with a lavender ice cube at the James hotel in SoHo. Disappointed that the cube just featured lavender sprinkled on top, she began to experiment with ice cube molds. Inspired by the frozen fish she saw, as a child, in Wisconsin’s iced-over lakes (“YouTube it,” she said), Ms. Kirchhoff spent four years developing her own ice-making method and turned it into a business.

Ice does two things to your cocktail: cools it down and dilutes it. But don’t believe the myth that all dilution is a bad thing. Research has shown that a little bit of water actually opens up some spirits, by emphasizing some aromas and masking others. Correlatively, the shape and size of your ice impacts how quickly it melts and how much water gets into your cocktail. That’s why it matters whether you use big rocks, standard cubes, or crushed ice.

Saxena, however, says the dairy industry wants regulation that the public can use to physically differentiate dairy products from non-dairy products. “We believe non-dairy products should be named just beverages or sold under some other name.”
