This. My Zojirushi is one of my favorites, because I can throw it in and forget it, and focus on the other parts of the meal. Other favorite is my microplane grater. They’re just so good at what they do. |
I just brought a Nordicware Bundt Quartet pan. Since I’m sharing baked goods via drop-offs these days as opposed to having guests over, it seemed like a good idea. In the purchase process I learned that mini Bundt cakes are called Bundtlettes, and that may be even cuter than the tiny cakes I’ll be making. |
My large items:
bread machine, ice cream machine, air fryer, waffle iron, panini press, crock pot, Kitchen Aid mixer, Kitchen Aid blender. I keep most of these in my garage on a shelving unit. Smaller tools/gadgets: Mandoline - I have two. A really big de Buyer one my DH gave me a couple of years ago. I think he spent over $200 on it. I rarely use it. I find it complicated to use but it does cut beautifully. I have a much smaller one I bought at Aldi that I use quite a bit. I think I spent $10 on it. It's held up very well considering how cheap it was and how often I use it. Breakfast sandwich maker Apple, Peeler, Corer, Slicer "As seen on TV" chopper - DH gave it to me for Christmas. Again, another cheap gadget that actually works better than I would have thought. Great for dicing onions. Pampered Chef food chopper Antique manual juicer Manual Food mill - I prefer my applesauce chunky but it was my mom's and I couldn't bear to get rid of it. Salad spinner - my DH just bought this and is using it every week. Pie crust shield - so much easier to cover the edge of a pie crust instead of using tin foil |
Hario Woodneck Drip Pot and gooseneck kettle for teaching myself how to make a pourover coffee. After nearly a year of use I can say it is my favorite way of making coffee out of all the coffee devices I’ve ever owned and rivals the coffee shop. |
I love my:
Kitchen scale Heavy duty kitchen shears Immersion blender Hand mixer (Krups brand) Funnels Oven mitts (they are only hand-length, so they do’t take up a lot of room in my drawer) Spinning utensil canister |
