Microplane 2-Piece Grater Set

2 people recommended this item

Description

Oh how I love my microplane. I use it all the time to zest ginger, garlic, and anything citrus into my sautes, salads, and dressings. Zesting some lemon into your stir fry adds a delightfully resfreshing and unexpected flavor. Play around with different zests and discover one you love. Then share your hints with me : )

Messermeister serrated swivel peeler

2 people recommended this item

Description

There is something about peeling potatoes over the sink that makes me feel all cozy inside, perhaps because I used to do it all the time with my mom when I was little (cue the violins). Peeling your own vegetables is actually fun, just make sure it doesn't clog your garbage disposal. I love buying cucumbers, carrots, and potatoes and peeling them myself at home. Essential for any cook.

Avocado Slicer

3 people recommended this item

Description

Love this gadget for when I'm serving for more than myself. It makes serving avocado so easy. Just run this through the fruit, scoop it out, and its in perfect and easy-to-grab slices. Good for taco night, stir frys, omelettes, etc. Fun and handy.

DeLonghi CGH800-U Retro Panini Grill

4 people recommended this item

Description

Who doesn't want a panini grill to call their own? Perfect for making roast turkey, basil, sun dried tomatoe, and mozzarella paninis, or just grilled cheese! Not too heavy so easier to use than other grills. I love making panini's at home for so many reasons. The biggest one being the warm, melted cheese.

Wolfgang Puck 5 Cup Rice Cooker

2 people recommended this item

Description

Rice - a staple of my diet. This Wolfgang Puck rice cooker looks great on the counter, but isn't much more than the other less advanced ones. Make 5 cups of white or brown rice with this to top off your stir fry or baked salmon and green beans. Cooked to perfection everytime.

Chef's Choice 685 International Deluxe Cordless Electric Teakettle

3 people recommended this item

Description

I love love love my electric tea kettle! I drink tea all day long. To me, it's the perfect breaktime snack. This tea kettle heats up really quickly. Then, you can take the hot kettle with you so you don't have to keep going to the kitchen to fill up your cup! It's genius for when I'm working outside and want to refill my cup, or when you have guests over. Love this product. My life would be so...cold water without it.

I love these. Hard boiled eggs are a healthy and low-cost snack. These change color as the eggs boil, so you know exactly just how hard-boiled they will be. So handy, good gift for students!
