place and that's the new IKEA at Live
Oak this weekend that's it's so exciting
and Mary Marietta from Ikea Live Oak is
here to give you a taste of the
signature dish of Meatballs and as you
can see I'm ready to go just just waving

earlier so you know what I'm cooking for

delicious and so are these meatballs if
you've ever been to Ikea that was my
favorite part about being a kid and
going idea at the end you were promised
meatballs yes we got them and you're
actually gonna be showing this here
because I mean there's not just one kind
of meatball that you have there right I
mean it's all different kinds so how do
you prepare this the meatballs when you
get them and you bring them home right
so um you know the meatballs can be
paired one of three ways you can do it
in the oven okay you can do it in the
microwave or you can do how we're doing
today which is on the cooktop and this
is just a regular cooktop this is
special this is an induction cooktop
yeah an induction is an amazing way to
cook because as you'll see when you lift
the pan it'll turn off because it says
there's nothing on it okay we actually
oh there it is and we actually have it
right there on the screen I mean only
$49.99 and you can actually add this to
your kitchen to create a whole different
cooktop because you know Thanksgiving
Fiesta there's a lot of events coming up

yep and you're gonna need an extra
cooktop right yeah who doesn't say I
wish I had another burner right

have these little plates here I'm gonna
get Jen cookin here so what kind of
meatballs are these so these are our
traditional Swedish meatballs they are
made with beef and pork and so what we
generally the way we serve them at the
store is the meatball entree comes with
the Swedish meatballs mashed potatoes a
seasonal vegetable along with our cream
gravy and of course our lingonberry
right
it's called a cream gravy okay now what
what and what is the base of this this
gravy is like just a traditional brown
gravy okay perfect
