Favorite Kitchen Tools 3

 

Left to right:

Chopper - we have loved these choppers, some include smaller garlic choppers inside. I have seen tons of these at Home Goods and TJ Maxx lately. We've had ours for years and use them all the time.

Silicone Pink Pig - indispensible for bacon fat (includes a strainer under the piggy face. It refrigerates and microwaves.

Silicone poachers - We use these for company all the time and have 10-12 in each house. Simply cover the bottom of a pan with 2-12, pour in about an inch of water, put a dab of butter in the cups and crack an egg. Turn the heat on high and then low, cover with a glass cover and wait for the egg while to cook before turning off the heat. Remove and pour off condensation and spoon out effortlessly.

Metal measuring in odd measures - 2 cup, 1-1/2 cup, 3/4 cup

Large glass measurer - this is great when making salad dressings if you need to measure the ingredients. Or have liquids ready to add when cooking or baking. 

Measuring spoons in every measure. I hook them somewhere in the kitchen where I can get to them easily.

Wooden salad or meal hands - we love these.

Stacking covered glass bowls for mise en place cooking. Get everything reading hours beforehand. It makes baking and cooking that much easier.
