Re: Favorite Kitchen Gadgets!!!

@Sooner 

 

There are a ton of great brownie recipes out there. But for just one person like myself, the Batchables is a good alternative. I can just make two at a time and get a decent brownie. (I tend to add some chopped walnuts and extra chocolate chips also which helps them out.) 

 

If I make a full batch of brownies (and the ones from "Rosie's Bakery, All-Butter, Cream-Filled, Sugar-Packed Baking Book" that she calls her "Chocolate Orgasms" are great, even better on day two) I tend to overeat them. I know you can freeze the extra, but they're never quite the same when defrosted. For just me, making just two little muffin cup-sized brownies is a great alternative. I'll mix up two on a Saturday morning and have a nice treat for later on Saturday and Sunday.

@geezerette @QVCkitty1 @Bookplate  I use the Pull-Chop so much it almost never gets put away. It's so much easier than dragging out a big food processor. It's great for doing lots of garlic as well. I checked, and it isn't available on QVC right now. Amazon usually has a version, but it's too expensive.

@gardenman I posted this because they are one pot, stir up with ingredients we all have.  We always freeze some.  Not trying to upset what you like or do, just a suggestion for anyone who might like to try.

Set of silicone multicolor flexible spatulas in different sizes.

 

Don't remember where I got them.  So handy for scrambled or fried eggs.  Spatulas are heat safe.   Also good for scraping sauces out of pans, dishes, jars, mixing bowls, etc.  I use these daily.

I love all kitchen gadgets but needed to stop buying I have way too many BUT my favorite:

 

1) Kuhn Rikon pull & chop - use it everyday

2) Kuhn Rikon can opener that uncrimps the cans - great for also opening pull tab cans

3) Thin skinny spatulas

 

and more...

 

I agree those OXO measuring cups are the best!
