If the headline sucked you in, you are either a foodie or loathe the kitchen. Either way, these utensils of the industry will make it a quicker trip from recipe directions to dining room table.
Microplane Rasp Grater – Costing less than $15 and taking drawer space the size of a ruler, this is a must-have in your woodworking tool shed and in place of the cheese grater, lemon zester, garlic press, and every other spice/fruit/veggie zester or grater in the kitchen. It’s sharp, so watch the digits. But it’s easy to manage, so don’t be afraid.
The Right Pans – This is where homework is key and money is well spent like an investment depending what style of cooking is preferred. So please read The Best Cookware Sets of 2020 carefully.
Sharp Knives – Again, another area that will either ‘cut’ into your budget or into your valuable time in the kitchen (pun intended). But a fun nuance between knives and cookware is the broader scope one knife can cover. Consider getting one good, medium-sized blade, and do not forget the sharpening tool. Become a master at the surprisingly easy art of keeping your tools ready for action. It’s one of those small life tasks you’ll wish you learned sooner.
Electric Griddle – Raise your hand if you have ever tried to fry bacon in one pan, eggs in another, and maybe even some pancakes on a third burner. A Presto Electric Griddle, which comes in much larger sizes for bigger families, puts everything in one spot and makes cleanup a breeze. All grease drains into a reservoir while cooking, nothing burns because its constantly observed, and once breakfast is perfected, move on to the next meal on your new favorite tool.
George Foreman Grill – Looking for a quick, healthy burger, steak or chicken option for the family with none of the fat and all of the flavor with half the cooking time? There is nothing better than this old favorite. A classic model starts at about $25, and there are many more options with bells and whistles. Lots of delicious recipes, too, at GeorgeForemanCooking.com.
