Hi Hope,
That garlic press is so easy to use and to clean up. It might help you…I know that I find it MUCH easier to clean up than the traditional presses. And I use one of those julienne peelers too…so much easier than a spiralizer.

Happy weekend my friend.

Hugs, Lynn

Oh, I’m so jealous of your big copper pot! I’ve been coveting them for too long, but haven’t quite made the splurge yet. Aren’t you glad you did!?

We use those little skinny rubber scrapers as well, but don’t have a metal dough scraper. As much as my grandma baked, I’m surprised she didn’t have one that was passed down to me.

Happy baking my friend.

Hugs, Lynn

Hey Gayle, I need to check out that spider! And don’t you love those little 5″ skillets! So many possibilities. And your daughter is one lucky gal! My mom is still holding on to her cast iron. I did purchase a skillet for our daughter when she set up her apartment at school…it really is such reasonably priced cookware.

Happy weekend my friend.

Cast iron has always been my favorite cookware. Besides the 10” & 6” skillets & a grill/griddle, I also have a flat skillet that is called a spider. It’s great for heating tortillas. I have a 5” shallow skillet that’s perfect for one egg. I did have a deep 12” skillet & a Dutch oven, but they are too heavy for me to lift now, so my daughter ‘inherited’ them, along with two other cast iron skillets, when she bought her first home.

Hey Sue, those cast iron pans are quite heavy! And you must try that Profi Whisk! Like you I dreaded cleaning out those balloon whisks…but not a problem anymore! It’s Genius I tell you!!
And I have one of those scoops which I love too…may have to do a sequel!
Thanks so much for sharing your favs!!! I love this virtual field trip to your kitchen!
Have a great day my friend.

I couldn’t do without skinny rubber scrapers and the broad metal gadget that scrapes up bread dough. I use my pastry blender often too, but for chopping up hard boiled eggs. As for cast iron pans, they’re just too heavy for my old arms. Love my enormous copper pot, though, for everything from soups and stews to no- knead bread. I bought it years ago for $125 At Bloomingdales, which was a huge splurge. I’d hate to think what it would cost now.

I have to check out that garlic press. I have problems with my hands but have been discouraged with the cleaning required the presses I tried. Something I use a lot is a julienne veggie peeler. Quick and easy to use when shredding veggies/garnishes for a salad for one or two especially!

Hey Gayle! I have not heard about that Swiss Pro Veggie peeler, but just checked it out and it is very highly rated. Hmmm…when my current bites the dust, think I’ll give it a try! And haven’t tried that Ninja food chopper either! Hmmm…I can always use help chopping.

Thanks so much for sharing two of your favorites my friend. You know I love kitchen gadgets!

I have two favorite gadgets; one is the Swiss Pro veggie peeler that can be used either left or right handed. The other is the Ninja food chopper. Chopping is a very quick with a pulsing motion. You can chop from coarse to very fine. Clean up is a breeze. List price is less than $25 & is well worth that.
