I peeled 5 pounds of taters yesterday to make a truckload of mashed potatoes for my boy plus his hungry friends. It wasn’ t toooo bad because I used the Kuhn Rikon peeler, which is comfortable, cheap and works fantastically.
But it does have it’s limits.
Like it can only peel taters, not maters. Not peaches. Not [...]

Nifty Home Products Baking Rack Insert
Why do appliances always die a horrible silent death right before you’re really gonna need them… like the day before Thanksgiving?
Yes. It happened.
Luckily it wasn’t my oven, but it was the microwave, which I use to keep everything warm since I only have a single oven.
Yes. It’s true. One really tiny oven built for a [...]

William Bounds Sili Gourmet Sling
Easily lift turkey Tom out of the roaster and onto your serving platter with the Sili Sling by William Bounds. Bumpy silicone bottom holds turkey (or chicken) securely so it doesn’t slip onto the floor, which is always good. Wide handles provide an easy-to-grip area for even the largest man hands. Silicone is oven-safe [...]

Swing-A-Way Gravy Separator
Make some kick-ass, healthier gravy with this handy tool, the Swing-A-Way Gravy Separator by Amco. Here’s how it works: the greasy, fatty stuff floats to the top, while the flavorful brothy stuff settles to the bottom, and so this gravy separator releases the juices from the bottom through that little red thingy with a simple [...]

Personalized Cake Pan from The Cake Pan Lady
My parents have an enormous group of close friends in their small Texas town. They gather frequently and food is always involved. You know about small town potlucks, right? Tons of food. Every kind of delectable dish imaginable, most of it made with butter.
And jello with fruit for dessert.
I’ve never understood the jello with fruit. [...]

Le Creuset Big Ass Pot
I just got this! And then I made this!
I’ve got to tell you the story about the day my life changed.
I have wished for and coveted a Le Creuset enameled cast iron french oven for years now, but would never spend the cash on a pot. A pot. Who has that kind of money to [...]

River Stones Platter
While the River Stones Platter would be beautiful sitting on the counter holding fruit, I especially love the idea of serving something organic in it. Constructed in Italy of natural stones and food-grade resin, this platter replicates the look of stones underwater. Great gift idea (yes, the holidays are coming soon!) for that hard-to-buy person [...]

So handy to actually cook with your spices at your fingertips, so you can easily add a dash or this or a sprinkle of that. ‘Cuz that’s how all the great cooks, like us, roll.
