Kitchen Essentials
Before I share my NEW RECIPE tomorrow, I'm sharing my favorite kitchen essentials! Check out my list below, and let me know if I need to add any of your favs!!
1) Chef's Knife - a good quality knife is so important. Prep is the hardest part of cooking for me, and you need a good knife to do a good job! I like a knife with a wide blade and metal handle. Getting a good knife is kind of like a car - you have to try a few out to see what you like!
2) Knife Sharpener - YOU NEED THIS! If you feel like your cooking prep is a chore, it is probably because your knives are dull! Sharpening my knives was a game changer for my cooking.
3) Microplane - this is great for grating everything from parmesan cheese to lemon zest! I really love the long handle on mine, and it perfectly fits over most of the bowls I use.
4) Kitchen Shears - don't use your baby's crayola school scissors in the kitchen - get a pair of good, sharp kitchen shears to do everything from opening packaging to butchering a chicken. I use mine often to cut pizza slices!
5) Measuring Cups - I can usually eye the amount of seasonings I need, but if you are writing recipes like me, you need to be precise. Get these!!!
6) Wisk - nothing can replace a wisk for eggs or making homemade whipped cream!
7) Wine Opener - duh!! You don't know pain until you are home, with a bottle of red, and no opener! Get one like this that doubles as a bottle opener.
8) Salad Tosser - I have realized that I really like a well dressed salad. I want every ingredient in every single bite. Salad tossers are essential - I got mine on a trip to Ghana, and they make an appearance every time I have a dinner party!
9) Honey Dipper - nothing works like this to drizzle honey over pancakes or your favorite dessert!
