My
husband’s cooking/baking fascination has resulted in several new kitchen gadget
purchases. I won’t complain. Besides being wise with finances, he convinced me
years ago that most of his picks prove very useful.
A
few weeks ago he researched vacuum packing machines to make sealing food for
the souse vide method easier and more efficient. Since its use goes far beyond
that, this seemed a great investment, especially since he found rolls of
plastic much less expensive than the bags.

Besides, my photos aren’t for money making purposes, just fun. So, moving on, my most common photo fail is a shadow cast by the lens when using the built-in flash.

Do
you have a collection of kitchen gadgets? Is there one you find most
indispensible?
Hubby is the cook here and he gets what he wants. We have a kitchen full of gadgets and he uses them. I do think we need this seal machine though. I hate freezer burn.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Darla. Big hug. ♥
Sweet!
DeleteThe Hubby is the food shopper and preparer, but he'd rather have a really good knife than too many gadgets. I swear, the man would cook using sticks and an old hubcap if he had to!
ReplyDeleteAs long at the gadgets aren't unitaskers. Alton Brown frowns upon those. I don't have much in the way of kitchen stuff. But I do love frozen rice that can be heated in the microwave. That's not a gadget, though.
ReplyDeleteWe used to adore Alton Brown's show. His one recommendation of a single use tool has always been the fire extinguisher. And that's a good choice.
DeleteGood idea for the pierogi, they do get freezer burn easily. I have seen little discs made of pottery to put in brown sugar to prevent it from sticking together.
ReplyDeleteThe old old recipe for keeping brown sugar soft is to put a slice of bread in the container with it.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! And my mother put rice into salt shakers for the same reason before we had humidity controlled environments. Heh...
DeleteBoth my wife and I are not foodies. There aren't any major gadgets in the kitchen, but for a microwave and a refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Thank you for sharing.
DeleteI like that you are blogging more!! Kitchen gadget...Not really, since I don't cook that much I would think of a great kitchen gadget would be a knife, or a spoon. I really don't have any cool gadgets. I however do have an egg cooker that I love. It cooks six eggs with about a teaspoon of water. Six eggs in six minutes. Its neat. Then my instant pot!! Loving that pot, cooks 5 lbs of chicken for the dogs in no time at all...
ReplyDeleteThat egg cooker sounds interesting!
