Kitchen Purchases

chessylady — Fri, 03 Feb 2017 05:04:12 GMT

I went online today and bought some kitchen goodies. I bought something called the Vidalia Chopper Pro vegetable dicer. It is similiar to the Nicer Dicer, BPA free with two dicer blade sizes. My Nicer Dicer bit the dust about six months ago and I miss it,

My Instant Pot pressure cooker is about 15 months old. I love it and have made many savory foods but now I want to make yogurt and cheesecake. You need to reserve a silicone seal just for yogurt and cheesecake so I bought three different colored seals to keep for that purpose so savory flavors do not bleed into my sweet. I also ordered the highly rated Fat Daddio anodized aluminum 6x3 inch cheesecake pan. Can't wait till they arrive.

I don't know about the Instant Pot and silicone seals. I wanted something like the Nicer Dicer so now I know what to get. Thanks

Yay! Enjoy the new goodies, @chessylady. I just got a much-needed new microwave - gives my kitchen a lift.

I bought a new OXO Masher that I'm in love with.

I read that this style of masher works better than the zigzag type - and oh my gosh, that is so true! It takes a lot less time to mash potatoes, and the potatoes come out smoother.

I got it at Bed Bath & Beyond.

Here's what it looks like:

I just got myself a KA Artisan stand mixer. I have wanted one for years and got an email from Wayfair with an offer I couldn't refuse.🤑

What I like about the Vidalia Chopper vs the Nicer Dicer is the smaller dice blade. I use that 90% of the time. I've often looked at the Nicer Dicer because it has more blades and good reviews but I've yet to find one that has the smaller dicing blade. Hope you like it!!

@peachesncream I purchased this years ago at Kitchen Kapers and also think it's one of the best gadgets in my kitchen. I don't know about yours, but mine is made of silicone which doesn't scratch anything.

My "problem" is that there is nothing that I need. That makes me kind of sad, because I love new kitchen items.

I'm glad to see this thread, though, because it reminded me that I need to search the Internet for a replacement bowl for my 25 year old Cuisinart food processor. It finally cracked so badly that I can't use it, but the motor is still going strong.

It turns out the replacement parts I need are going to be quite pricey.

Has anyone replaced parts like this? Is it worth it? I hate to throw out a perfectly good machine because the bowl has cracked.

I have the same processor from Cuisinart. I just got the new blade last week as a result of the recall. Guess I'm lucky in that when I bought my Cuisinart, I got a bonus plastic bowl that I have never used. Mostly use the processor to make pesto, hummus and slice cucumbers for icebox pickles.

@chessylady Where did you get the different colored seals from? I've done yogurt in mine with the same seal I've used for everything else and didn't notice a flavor, but having extra seals is a good thing.

The brand name is Netany and I got them on Amazon, just over $15 for three. I wanted to have extras onhand in case mine gets damaged. Some people say they don't taste the savory flavor in yogurt and some do.

You might want to check out e-bay. They have several replacement bowls available right now on their website. Good luck in your search!
