Why Tools ?
I’m not overly ‘handy’ at fixing things around the house, but I have a basic toolbox — pliers, hammer, screwdriver, nails, picture hangers. Like a good carpenter, I couldn’t get the job done without them. In my kitchen, I have a toolbox, too. Do you?
Kitchen Tools Make the Job Quicker
There are hundreds of kitchen tools out there. Some cost a lot and do a little. Others cost a little and do a lot. I prefer to spend my money on tools that I can use day-after-day and those that help me get the job done quickly and easily. They are tools that I cannot do without.
5 Tools for Every Kitchen
1. Wooden spoon – to stir soup, stew, pasta, muffin batter
2. Tongs – to flip over chicken or fish, toss salad, serve vegetables, handle anything that’s hot
3. Can opener, the kind that folds under the sharp edge as it opens – to open all canned foods
4. Grater, the kind with coarse and fine grating sides – to grate a chunk of cheese or carrots, to finely grate lemon zest
5. Colander – to strain water from cooked pasta, strain liquid from canned beans, drain extra juice from pickles
Kitchen tools can be fun, too. Here’s a video with Chef Sara Moulton you will enjoy!
