KITCHEN GEAR

 

THESE ARE THE KITCHEN GEAR ITEMS I LOVE TO USE WITH LINKS TO PURCHASE THEM ONLINE.  THE PHOTOS ARE OF MY ACTUAL EQUIPMENT TAKEN ON MY KITCHEN TABLE.  I WILL ADD A NEW ITEM EACH WEEK!

 HAND HELD MANDOLINE SLICER

This is a great tool to slice onions, potatoes and tomatoes nice and thin.  Make homemade potato chips in minutes and it is small and dishwasher safe.

12 INCH PAN

This is the best pan to use if you are adding pasta to a sauce or cooking 4 chicken cutlets because it is so big everything fits in easily.

SILICONE WHISKS

These mini silicone whisks are perfect for eggs.  You can use them to scramble the eggs and use them in a non-stick pan to cook the eggs.  They are heat resistant so they are perfect for puddings or gravy.

microplane

MICROPLANE

This is my favorite and most used tool.  I use it to grate cheese, garlic,  nutmeg, and chocolate and to zest lemons and limes.  It goes right in the dishwasher, another favorite feature.

GARLIC PRESS

The garlic press is perfect for mincing garlic, fast.  It is easy to clean and is dishwasher safe.  This is the one I have and it is nice and heavy so you can put a couple of cloves in at a time.

 

mason jar

MASON JAR WITH LID

Mason jars can be used to make bbq sauce, salad dressings and marinades and also make great drinking glasses!  You can buy a dozen for less than $10.

PIZZA CUTTER

This pizza cutter from OXO has a great grip and a thumb rest necessary to cut a pizza easily and of coarse it can go in the dishwasher.

 

offset spatula

OFFSET SPATULA

This is great for spreading frosting or smoothing batter in a pan.  The angled handle makes it easy to use.

SHEET PAN

I use this sheet pan for everything from roasting chicken to baking brownies to making pizza.  They will last a really long time and I also recommend getting the parchment liners to go with them.
