Fresh Rolls

  See this little smiley faced gadget? I love this thing!  It is made by one of my favorite kitchen gadget makers, Kuhn Rikon, and makes getting that wonderful fresh corn off the cob with no problems or struggle.

Meat Tenderizers

  I thought I would start going through all the gadgets I have collected in my 40 years of playing in the kitchen and listing some of my favorites and tossing those that don’t perform well enough to earn the space they take up. First up are the tenderizers I use with meats and poultry, [...]
