My Favorite Kitchen Gadgets

My daughter got me this last Christmas and I LOVE it! It’s a little cumbersome to use but that is mainly because I have nowhere to clamp the suction cup down on… My favorite is spiral zucchini instead of pasta or sometimes just as a veggy dish.. cook in a non-stick pan with a little garlic and salt… awesome!!

This is such a time saver… literally I can have cut pineapple rings in under 60 seconds.. is it wasteful? Yes… is it fun? YES!! Nothing simpler than this.. cut off the top. Center the device. Start twisting. When you hit the bottom, pull. Remove top handle and slide the spiralized pineapple off. Cut one slit down the stack of pineapple and you now have individual rings that look like they are from a can.

I never said they would all be healthy gadgets 😉 I spent $15 on an ice cream scoop and here is why… I was so tired of having the cheap ones break as I was trying to get very hard ice cream out of the carton. So I splurged and got his and will never be without one again. It’s heavy and built well… it hold heat well so if you drop it in a bowl of hot water if really cuts through the ice cream. Feel like Batman and get a real ice cream scoop and you will thank me.

These are not the exact ones I have… Mine were handmade for us, but these look very similar. Basically you can take a bowl and place it in one of these and put it in the micro wave… when its done cooking you can reach in a take it out and not get burned.. I use it a lot for reheating bowls of soup and it really works great!

Originally I bought these for when I was going to an Axworthy family pot luck last year… I was bringing an ice chest full of corn-on-the cob (another post to follow about that) and I needed a way for people to eat it in an outdoor picnic setting… so I came up with these and Wooden Candy Apple Skewer Sticks which worked like a charm, but then I realized how convenient they are in the kitchen. I am not going to win any environmental awards for this but I do wash less dishes so that saves water and electricity, right? These are great for little portions of snack stuff and you don’t dirty a plate!

Mix your drinks accurately so you get consistent flavors. Doesn’t have to be this exact one but have a jigger in your kitchen/bar inventory.

I got tired opening a box of chicken or beef stock and not using it all.. then throwing it out a week or month later… so now I can freeze the remainder and put blocks of stock for later use.
