Williams-Sonoma | Cedar Planks, Set of 4

First to recommend

Description

Ahhhh the grilling season wouldn't be complete without a cedar plank. In Norway when the summers are gorgeous we prepare most of our meals on the grill and fish and seafood is no exception. Salmon is my secret indulgence and the smoky flavour from a cedar plank is heaven. These planks are also perfect for infusing poultry and other meats for the grill.

Williams-Sonoma | OXO Corn Stripper

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I can't lie, I have had a few accidents in the past when it came to removing corn from the cob. This genius corn stripper from OXO will be my next kitchen purchase as soon possible! Roasted corn has a much more desirable flavour when I need it for salsas, salads, and quesadillas which is why I recommend this. The grilling season is quickly approaching and traditional corn on the cob is always on the table, but why not try adding roasted corn to other dishes for a more intense flavour? This is especially great for those that have butter-fingers. (Haha... excuse the pun. How corny, right?!)

Williams-Sonoma | de Buyer Red Mandoline

First to recommend

Description

This mandoline might seem slightly intimidating, but I promise, using one is simple and it achieves the best presentation results. If you're creating specialty platters, weeknight dinners, or just want to try something different this mandoline is perfect. It offers high quality, convenient storage, and a multitude of functions that anyone can appreciate.

VillaWare Pizza Grill - Brick Oven Style Pizza at Home!

5 people recommended this item

Description

I can't wait to get my hands on this! In our house we love pizza and grilling and this pizza stone is perfect for both! We have a regular stone for our kitchen oven, but this convenient stone not only creates perfect results, but by baking/cooking it over the grill it achieves just a wonderful smoky flavour. A bonus is that this stone also includes a thermometer for correct temperatures for achieving the best results.

Williams-Sonoma | OXO Wire Cheese Slicer

First to recommend

Description

A kitchen in Norway isn't complete without a cheese slicer, and unlike the traditional design we use, this slicer by OXO has a more comfortable and heavyweight handle and innovative design that makes slicing simpler.

Williams-Sonoma | 3-in-1 Egg Slicer

First to recommend

Description

A common smørbrød (open-faced sandwich) in Norway is egg slices on bread. I love that this slicer features two grids and produces rounds, ovals, and wedges! It's a perfect multi-fuction slicer for sandwiches, garnishes, and salads.

OXO International - Potato Ricer

First to recommend

Description

For the perfect mash you need a potato ricer! This oxo potato ricer is small enough for storage, large enough for use, and light enough so that it actually is hand-held! And if you're wondering why I prefer a potato ricer over a traditional masher it's due to the amounts of starch that will cause regular mash to change and become gluey and not fluffy.

Multiquick Impressions - Handblenders - Braun

First to recommend

Description

I already have a Braun set, but this one gives larger capability for the food processor. If you're a person that makes your own sauces, soups, and other blends, this is definitely for you. Mine has never let me down, it takes up very little space, and the attachments are very easy to use.

Jamie Oliver Professional Series My Favourites Pan Set 4pc

First to recommend

Description

I've been using Tefal products for over 10 years with extreme satisfaction and the Jamie Oliver line is no exception! I love that they are dishwasher safe (though I don't really recommend this) , they can be stuck straight in the oven, and they last! Infact, they are given a lifetime warranty! With the amount of use these guys receive I'm glad to know that they are of such high quality, and that I didn't have to sell my limbs to obtain them!

This pizza stone is a must for anyone that loves to prepare their own pizza. Crusts come out wonderfully crisp and with time have a stone-oven flavour.
