New! Meat Rake - $22
If you ever have shredded chicken, beef, pork, ribs, etc., you will understand that it can be tough with a regular fork. These ergonomically designed tools are designed to fit comfortably in your hands and make light of a tough job! Try using these with the Zesty Slow Cooked BBQ Chicken recipe (SO yummy!!) in my post 4 Easy Family Friendly Recipes for the Cooking Challenged!
Salad Chopper - $25
I love me a finely chopped salad, the more chopped, the better. This is the best tool for it! It comes with both the bowl (which doesn't get all damaged from the chopper) and the chopper, which sort of resembles a double pizza cutter. Chopolicious!
Chopstir - $7.50
Another tool in the chopping family. This one is also a favorite! It chops ground beef or turkey beautifully in small little pieces! Works so much better than a spatula - don't know how I lived without it!
Sheet Cake/Pie Cutter - 19.95
I love those huge Costco sheet cakes - they are the best deal and soooo good, but they are a mess to cut and serve. I end up with different size pieces and frosting all over my hands (not always a bad thing since the calories don't count if it is due to entertaining.) This tool, however, is wonderful! Makes the serving of the birthday cake to 20 screaming 8 year olds.... a piece of cake (hahahahahahaha.)
Corn Peeler - $10
So you may be asking, why would you ever need to peel corn on the cob? I asked the same question, then my oldest son got braces (you may say "it's also good for making soup or other things - well I have never made those things so braces is why I needed it). Have you ever tried cutting it off with a knife? Well, I found two issues with that.... first, I would lose half of the corn, I either never got close enough to the cob and only got half the kernel or I would get too much cob cut off with the kernels. Second, corn is not the most stable thing to cut and I almost lost a finger...multiple times. This makes it quick and easy to pull it off the cob!! Love this tool!!
Jar Opener $9.99

Travel Humidifier - $29
Hotel rooms are always super dry - when I used to travel a lot for work, this baby would have for sure come in handy!!

ReplyDeleteAvocado slicer is a must! I use it to cut up mellon too!
Thanks for the recommend! Looks awesome!!! I for sure have to run out and get one tomorrow!!!
DeleteUsing metal to cut your lettuce will brown it faster.
ReplyDeleteDon't get a jar opener, just use a rubber band.
Rubber band??
Deleteyup. You put a rubber band around the lid, (where ur hands would grip the lid to open) and the lid opens right up! The rubber helps u grip the Los and it twists easily
DeleteI use my cleaning gloves to open jars! The rubber gives me some grip.
DeleteCut a piece of that rubbery shelf liner the size of a pot holder. Just lay it over the lid and turn ! I have been using the same piece for over 10 years. I saw some at a craft show where they crocheted a little row of yarn around the edge of the same thing just to dress it up a bit.
ReplyDeleteGREAT ideas!! Thanks!!
