Now on to my favorite kitchen gadgets! ♥

 

top to bottom left to right

long handled wood spoon – perfect for deep pasta pots, lemonade jugs and more

rubber jar opener – do you remember when I made one?  You can find that and more on my new uses for old things page sometimes lids on jars are just to well sealed, great for our food and health safety but hard work for our hands. This simple rubber circle makes all the difference in gripping the jar lid tightly

tea infuser-loose leaf tea is a wonderful treat

mini grater -perfect for little jobs and zesting

bottle and wine opener-no further explanation needed, giggle

hard boil egg timer– I love this! Egg-Perfect Heat Sensitive Color Changing Egg Timer- You drop it in the pot with the eggs and it changes color to help you determine soft, medium and hard boiled eggs.

mini sifter– great for dusting powdered sugar in small areas , a nice photo prop too I am sure you recognize it from some of my photos 🙂

pot handle covers– i love my stainless steel pots and pans nut they do not have covered handles these slid on the handles to protect your hands

rubber spatula-I use this for a multitude of things, from scraping inside jars to frosting cakes

basting brush-I prefer this rubber one to the bristle brush because it can go in the dishwasher and it does not leave bristles behind when you use it

small whisk– perfect for small tasks whisking a bit of water and cornstarch for example

ice cream scoop– not just for ice cream but great for cookies,muffins, cupcakes etc.

pizza cutter-not just for pizza but great for cutting brownies, pan cookies like my zucchini cookies

kitchen shears-cut through everything, bones, crab legs, crack shells, nuts too

wood cutting board-perfect for veggies and a photo prop too ( see my other photo prop ideas HERE)

There you have it my sweet bloggy friends, my favorite kitchen gadgets. 🙂
