My Top 3 Kitchen Appliances September 17, 2008

One of the key factors that can make cooking more simple and fun is having the right tools. But there are so many kitchen gadgits, appliances and tools out there; how do you know what you really need? I am quite familiar with how the marketing of such products work… You see an add or commercial and all of a sudden you are saying to yourself “How can I live without that “3 in 1″ juicer, slicer, pasta maker?”. So you break down, you buy it and where does it sit? In the cabinet, pantry, closet, garage, etc… next to all the other impulse buys that you never use. Right?

 

I thought it would be fun to open up this entry up to y’all. What are your Top 3 Kitchen Appliances/ Gadgits/ Tools? And why? You can leave out the obvious such as a stove top or refrigerator…  It was hard to narrow down to just 3 but mine are as follows; 

 

1. My George Foreman Grill. I seriously could not live without this one. I use it probably 3 times a week on average. It cooks perfectly and the clean-up is a breeze!

2. My Cuisinart Mini Food Processor. I have a beautiful large food processor but I never used it because I thought it was a pain in the booty to clean. I use the handy mini version all the time.

3. A quality chef’s knife (mine is a J.A. Henckel). Food prep goes by without a hitch when you are using a high quality knife.      

 

Can’t wait to hear some of your suggestions.
