My antique pastry blender, so much more flexible than shiny new ones and a little rust is clutch for down-home country taste!!! My cast aluminum kettles, the most wonderful, non-rusting, even heat distribution pots and pans in the world. Old looking and worn, but they're perfect! <br /><br />I have to agree with Mr. Latte.... LOVE!<br /><br />Big old stoneware bowls. I love them. My Williams Sonoma spatulas for baking, I would have never thought there could be such a difference, but Lacey (beautiful DIL) gave them to me as a gift and they're amazing. And they've never broken!!!!<br /><br />Even with my stiff cookie doughs and bread doughs. Now that's well made!<br /><br />So many others, but what a fun look at the tools of the trade, Mindy!!!! And I'm making Lindi's mac and cheese today for Dave's birthday.... It is a carb-feast day, so the rest of the week: GRASS. :)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-69571249072873491132014-03-30T04:16:56.216-04:002014-03-30T04:16:56.216-04:00yep, I had 2 pieces and didn't know it was goo...yep, I had 2 pieces and didn't know it was good stuff LOL! of course I wasn't cooking when I bought my townhome - which explains why I bought a townhome with a tiny alley kitchen - all I needed was counter space for the drive thru bags..sigh..<br /><br />the bacon might be the same as hotdog- think it says lunchmeat too - it's rectangular an the package of bacon fits perfect and the lid is tight- could break a nail on that sucker.<br />susannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-9394262569129156632014-03-30T00:14:48.143-04:002014-03-30T00:14:48.143-04:00Hm, let's see.

Bu for utensils, I probably can't live without my potato masher. <br />I have an ancient one with a bright red handle and a wavy wire end. <br />Oh, and maybe my tin percolator coffee maker that I use when we go camping. <br />My husband would probably say his "calendar", which is an iron tortilla warmer, completely flat, with a long handle. Looks like a crepe maker but without any ridge. We actually use it a lot for quesadillas and such...Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-90935753299428451212014-03-30T00:10:39.764-04:002014-03-30T00:10:39.764-04:00I bet my husband would love the pineapple corer. h...I bet my husband would love the pineapple corer. he's really into pineapple, but for some reason, it makes my tongue go all crazy feeling.

Really gets the job done!<br /><br />Ah! I found it in their on-line catalog.

I'm pretty much have bowl and wooden spoon, maybe a spatula and I'm good to go. :-) I'm such a plain Jane cook. Mind you, I think the greatest invention ever is the garlic crusher thingy. And y'all would cringe if you saw my pots and pans. Pretty horrid. some day when I have a real kitchen with cupboard space I'd love to buy some pretty pots too.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-24169369579040877932014-03-29T04:40:34.985-04:002014-03-29T04:40:34.985-04:00I LOVE that mix and chop thingy but can never reme...I LOVE that mix and chop thingy but can never remember what it's called!<br />I also like cooking in the enameled cast iron but sure hate having to pick the pans up for anything - call that my workout! I lucked out and realized (after using the big pan for a dog water dish and the little one to hold the grease from my Fry Daddy trial) that I had 2 pieces of Le Creuset - hoo boy the day I realized they were expensive pans! I found a couple more at decent prices but nowhere near the free the other 2 were. they're awsome but sooo heavy.<br /><br />not sure if it's a gadget but I recently got one of those old tupperware bacon keepers - my mom had one for years and when I got tired of hunting up freezer bags for my bacon I got one of these babies off ebay(actually got 3 since they were the same price as the single one...)<br /><br />and my other keeper I found out are the Fire King bowls with handles - my dad picked them up at a garage sale and brought them to me (they weren't pyrex so my mom shunned them LOL!) those suckers are handy - i can spray the inside, add an egg and beat it, salt , pepper, a turkey sausage patty (jimmy dean), and sprinkle some 2% shredded cheddar and nuke 1 1/2-2 min or so and toast a biscuite or bagel or english muffin and have a quick sandwich. also handy for fruit and other stuff - love the handle!<br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-84807667307273544062014-03-29T00:31:41.832-04:002014-03-29T00:31:41.832-04:00Newest favorite gadgets.
