The kitchen is one of my favorite places. Off to a Viking stove, my kitchen is very equipped. I do all the gadgets I have balls of melon, ice cream, chimichurri, lemon peel, and grilled sandwiches. These are all necessary elements? They are, if you like to cook. Because I like the sharing of product information, the kitchen should not be overlooked. I do not want to go to things like a KitchenAid mixer (which everyone who loves to cook should) or a Cuisinart Food Processor 14 Cup severe(For all of this. Period of cooking.) But rather, I choose some not so obvious. (For my friend S, the kitchen is the room with the fridge.)
Impact bar (for KitchenAid mixer) For people who love to cook, the counter top KitchenAid mixer at its zenith. This style windshield bat is exactly what the Doctor ordered CooksaLot.
Flexible chopping mats: Toss out that (which is full of germs among other things) relic of old wood. Put down one of these super-flex mats: Chop, bending,and go all the mushrooms, rosemary, et al scroll nicely in your plate. In addition, they are easily thrown in the dishwasher. Since you get two about $ 6.00, you can throw away when she abused. I found mine at Bed Bath and Beyond.
Silpat cookie sheet liners: Hey friends, cooking, get this. I have two of Williams Sonoma. Nothing will stick this deposit. Even my high-tech baking my hiccups here and there when I need encouragement to solve the perfect cookie.These rugs are worth every penny. I use my great on the counter to deliver pizza dough, cinnamon rolls, etc.
Shark 2 in 1 Hand Stick / vac: If you see this thing that you can laugh. Looks like it might break down should be too close to a butterfly's wing. 9.99 There are also at your destination. However, all to put aside your disappointment. This wonder will bagless electric shock and your favorite recordings in the kitchen. Face, your floor is serious. I do not care who you are. If MarthaStewart used the Shark in her kitchen, she would be appalled at what she found. Piles of dirt, cracker crumbs, and for me, hair. For even the pickiest of kitchen cleaners. And even with a little helper spreading crumbs, the Shark can not be outdone.
Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender (also called immersion blender): This fabulous handy device whips, blends, or purees your small jobs right in the bowl, pot, or dish. Love it. And I use it daily to make protein shakes. And it is perfect for making "Cream of" soups.
Vinturi Wine Aerator: this device aerates your wine in seconds. We tried it first hand in Napa, and were believers. Great for those who love big red wines (like we do). Your Cabernets and Zins will thank you.
Microplane Grater: Originally used for smoothing wood, who knew how great they would contribute in la cucina? Super handy for parmigiano, chocolate, lemons, limes, even fresh nutmeg. Super easy to clean. Nothing tops pasta like a few shivers of fresh parmigiano over the microplane. Its hand held and very long and then so your tender digits need get no where near the razor sharp planes. And it is great for zesting chocolate over desserts. Trust me.
Orka oven mitt: Made of silicone and able to withstand up to 500 degrees, this is the hand protector of all hand protectors. And, can be handily thrown in the dishwasher. Your old ratty oven mitts stained with red sauce and burnt on the edge from touching a burner can't make those claims, can they? I have two and can't live without them.
LiveStrong by Chantal Travel Mug: Because I am not a coffee drinker, Ive never been big on the travel mug. That didnt keep me from collecting dozens when I worked at PeopleSoft but its not a handy device for me. Even when I used them for tea, lots of little sloshing and spilling, no matter how "airtight" they claimed to be. And then the Live Strong version graced me with its presence and now, I am hooked. (And actually, our friend MA gave it to John but it looks so much better with me.) This is the absolute best travel mug. Period. I used it in Vegas and hot water poured in at 8 am was accidentally forgotten about until almost lunch time. The water was still hot. Not lukewarm and tolerable. HOT. Beautiful and now I use it for tea multiple times a week.
