Best Q items I bought for kitchen lately!

homedecor1 — Sat, 29 Jul 2017 18:47:55 GMT

I bought these items on "clearance or ODO" and so glad I did!

K45426 - groovetech knife: love it just like demo nothing sticks & slices great!

K44543- CE lightweight 5 qt cast iron Dutch oven - cooks evenly and even with roast in it I can lift it! I donated my other heavy CI pieces.

K43975 - Disposal genie stopper - how did I ever live for years without this perfect gadget!!! No more forks, baking tips, etc. falling into my disposal (from not paying attention til I turn it on😲)

and can be turned to fill sink with water.

How about you? I love to hear about others good finds! Thanks!

H207177 Temp-tations Wire Cake Pedestal with (4) 11" Glass Trivets I am not a fan of Temptation because the quality of the "hand painted" items is a joke. However, I love this cake stand. Saw it on a lunchtime special and figured my chances were good since the design was probably printed on the trivets. 4 trivets - one for each season. Super cute.

Thank you for telling us about the disposal genie @homedecor1! I looked at the video and then ordered one from here. It's exactly what I need. I found one on Amazon for half the price, but it didn't have the feature that you could close your sink and fill it up with water. I like the idea of being able to do that.

I almost bought that when I saw it on special. I looked at the reviews. One of the owners spray painted the stand white, it really looked good! Another reviewer said her plates were melamine. ?????? The description states the trivets are glass. I own no Temptations but I almost bought the cake pedestal. I've been in the market for a new one. With the price & S&H it would be over $20 and just wasn't going to go there for it. I'm looking for a cake plate with a dome.

Here's my "short" list:

Groove tech knives----use them every day

Disposal genie----

Orka silicone microwave containers---the best for reheating leftovers

Sistrema mugs---great for ramen noodles and reheating pasta leftovers

Silicone oven mits---I think they were MCM--use them 5 days out of 7

Kuhn Rikon can opener and bottle opener--the best---use every day

Food saver - flip up model

Lock and Lock fridge storage set

Le Creuset Oval Skillet

Lock and Lock Mini-Dome set

Now, we need another thread about the worst purchases. I've bought a couple of real clunkers in the past few years, but I don't want to post them here and risk having someone think I'm recommending them.

I love CE lightweight cast iron. I don't have the 5 qt one but do have the 3.5qt with skillet lid and just got the 4.5qt that is almost like a small wok. It's like they haven't decided if they want to keep making it because they bring them in and put it fairly quickly on clearance.

I got the round lock and lock nestable wicker look baskets at the same time as the newest lightweight cast iron pan. They are so much nicer than expected. I use the larger one in the bathroom and the two smaller ones in the kitchen.

i also have the Le Creuset Oval enameled cast iron skillet and it is my go to pan for cooking a lot of things at once. The light weight CE cast iron is what I use all the time because it cleans up so fast and is so much lighter.

Small device, but I love it. It chops many food items easily.

C.E. 3.2 qt. air fryer.

I lost 50 pounds in 3 months by cutting out oil and instead using the air fryer. YMMV.

Good Luck.

ITA about the smallish groovetech knife and the genie disposer thing. I even bought another one as a gift for someone who admired it.

My fave thing recently is that tiny CE air fryer--2 quarts, I think. Having so much fun with it.

Another all time fave is the silicone covered fork (set of 2). Very versatile for stirring, beating, etc. I really missed the cooking fork I grew up with when most of my pans got enamel or nonstick linings.

Forgot about that pull-chop thing. I have the smaller one and I use it very often. Makes great egg salad, ham salad, etc.--I like a LOT of celery in mine and it chops very evenly. I've used it for sauces and dressings, chopped salad veg, and even made ground beef from small cubes--though this works better with my little food processor.

K45326 Cook's Essentials aluminum defrost board and 4 cutting mats. This little board works really well as I am always forgetting to take things out of the freezer early enough for them to defrost completely. Haven't even used the cutting mats-they could sell it without them as far as I am concerned.

I forgot about the Groovetech knife. I love the way it cuts, but it seems to need to be sharpened often. But it is my go-to for potatoes and onions.

@PA Mom-mom

I have the same issue with the groovetech knife. I'm glad I bought those sharpeners when Q offered them.

I use this knife for everything!

@homedecor1 I bought the disposal genie stopper based on your recommendation. I really needed something like that but didn't know it existed. I love it! Thank you so much for mentioning this.

I absolutely agree with this. I could never be without mine. Also the foodsaver. I have had both for years and they get the most use.

The pull chop is the latest and greatest for me. I have the larger size and use it all the time for onions, celery, and garlic.
