Hello friends!

 

I thought I would start this topic for people to talk about

their " Kitchen Finds and Faves " . Sparrow's apple corer/slicer inspired

me to do this.

 

My new find, which I got at Home Depot today, is a Burpee Seed

Sprouter. It will be great to have fresh sprouts whenever I want them.

Depending on what kiind you sprout,you can have ready to eat sprouts

in 2 to 7 days! Yay! The kit includes 3 kinds of seeds: Broccoli

Sprout Seeds, Mung Bean Sprout Seeds and a Zesty Mix Sprout Seed.

 

My kitchen faves are my food processor, my blender, Saladacco and my

two juicers. I use them often!

 

I am looking forward to hearing about other's " Finds and Faves " !

This is my fav tool right now, the Vidalia Chopper!

It makes chopping veggies so easy and FAST. Super sharp blades and

very easy to clean and put away.

Great topic idea!

 

My son and DIL have made it a gift tradition to comb the kitchen stores for

new or popular kitchen accessories for me.

 

One of my all-time favorites was subsequently named " Accessory of the Year "

after I received it.

 

It's a battery-operated gadjet that attaches to the top of a saucepan, with

blades that stir the pan's contents. It will do continuous or intermittent

stirring.

 

I don't use it very often, but when I need to make a gravy or pudding, or a

particular ice cream base, I no longer am chained to the stove!

That makes me think of the device Gary Oldman's character created in

" Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. " It was a sort of a windmill

that used the heat rising off a cauldron to turn a stirring spoon.

Great topic, Cath :)

 

OK, I love my kitchen scale - digital (to replace

a non-digital one which not working too well any

more) - which I got last fall. It has all kinds

of little buttons to let you change from metric

to imperial and it also (if you punch in the

appropriate code) lets you calculate calories,

fibre, blah blah blah. I prefer weight to cup

measurement of things, because a cup of sliced

something-or-other may have more or less of that

'something' in it depending on the size of the

slices, you know? So will vary from cook to cook.

Weight is weight.

 

And the other week my stick blender gave up the

ghost - and it was one of those which had a

mini-processor attachment which I used a lot. But

I thought I didn't need it really and tried to do

without. Giving up on that, I bought another,

different brand, and am absolutely in love with

it all over again ;) It sits out all the time now

- such a time and muscle saver!

 

Otherwise? For a small non-electrical gadget, I

like my little lemon/citrus zester. Citrus zest

is soooooo good for us, I learn, and, the reason

I started using it, adds wonderful flavour to so

many things, including soups and stews and

sauces. (If I'm going to cut up an orange for a

salad, I zest it first - and freeze the zest

until needed.)

 

Love and hugs, Pat

Hi everyone,

 

My all time favourite kitchen gadget is my microplane grater. I use it for so

many things but the most use it gets is for grating garlic and ginger. I don't

even bother peeling either garlic or ginger first. The papery skin of the

garlic stays on top of the grater and can just be brushed away. The ginger is

grated so finely that you don't even notice the odd bit of skin in there and it

definitely beats the fiddly job of peeling ginger.

 

Pat, your new scale sounds wonderful - I'm jealous!

 

Cheers from Marie

Hi gang,

 

It's been fun reading about your Kitchen Finds and Faves, and I got

some interesting ideas of things to look for the next time I go to a

kitchen- ware store! Cool! Thanks!
