Oxo Good Grips 9" Tongs with Nylon Head

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

These Oxo tongs have held up for years now and the nylon head doesn't scratch up your non-stick cookware. For a while I was using this to also squeeze juice out of citrus, but that was before I beheld the glory of the citrus squeezer. But that's a whole 'nuther story.

Martha Stewart Collection Wooden French Rolling Pin

First to recommend

Description

I've used many different types of rolling pins and I have to say that this simple, solid, tapered wooden pin is my preference. It is easy to clean and store, to control and apply even pressure. it's not too heavy like marble pins or clunky like ones that spin around a dowel. The price is right too!

For the mojitos! This works so well I really don't know how I got on without one. This simple tool is probably my favorite one in the entire kitchen. So much easier and more efficient and clean than a standard juicer or reamer.

It's got such rustic appeal, nothing modern about it at all. It's still the go to tool for peeling, coring, and slicing apples and potatoes. Ideal for salads, pies, canning, drying, delicious treats, and everyday kitchen use.

If there's one thing I learned from my Dad about meals is that nothing is better than a fresh and perfect salad made with love. This salad spinner by OXO is sturdy and dishes out a perfect salad every time thanks to the easy pump and brake features. A must have!
