Five Cool Gadgets You Need in Your Kitchen
1. OXO Good Grips Baker’s Dusting Wand for Sugar, Flour and Spices
This cute little gadget will help you to dust your baked goods with powdered sugar or cocoa with ease and without the usual mess.
2. Curious Chef Children’s 3-Piece Vegetable Prep Tool Set
For those of you with budding chefs at home, this is a great starter set of kid-friendly and kid-sized cooking tools. They have a full line of products geared toward children.
3. Kilner Butter Churner
If you have a heart that yearns for something nostalgic, this is the gadget for you. This hand-cranked countertop butter churner is perfect. Work your arm muscles or give your over-energized child a kitchen task with a sweet creamy reward.
4. Pampered Chef Mix ‘N Chop
Although not new, this is a personal favorite and I actually have three – one each for parve, dairy, and meat. There are imitations and knockoffs out there, but stick with the original. It makes chopping ground meats or veggies easy while sauteing; mix and stir at the same time.
5.Microplane/Fine Rasp Grater
This is an absolute must-have if you like to bake or make your own dips and salad dressings. It’s a perfect tool for finely grating garlic or ginger, and also for zesting citrus fruits. It can be used to grate chocolate and nutmeg as well.
