Kitchen Tools

I have used several hand mixers, many from the ’80s and ’90s, so I jumped at the opportunity to try out a state-of-the-art 21st century version!

Each tray has a lid, which eliminates freezer burn and, more importantly, allows the trays to be stackable.

This is stylish enough to go from stove to table and is perfect for a single adult or couple looking for a pan that can serve many functions.

This all-in-one digital meat thermometer has the bonus of three additional stainless steel tools: knife, corkscrew and bottle opener.

Whether it is making sauces, soups, gravies or even rice, this saucepan is suitable for all kitchens.

If you’re an avid coffee or tea drinker or looking for an attractive housewarming or wedding gift, this kettle certainly belongs on the short list.

This appliance has 10 functions to pressure cook, slow cook, steam, brown, sauté and simmer plus one-touch settings for yogurt, grains, eggs and desserts.

My slow cooker will still get plenty of use, but I’ll admit, the pressure cooker has undoubtedly earned its place within my dinner rotation.
