She was right. This handy tool helps me scoop up my ingredients and get them into my pan or bowl efficiently without dulling the edge of my knife. There are a lot of these on the market and I like the Oxo model because it’s got a comfortable, ergonomic silicone grip. It’s got an almost-sharp edge to cut dough and they’ve etched some measurements on the edge if you need them. Quality and simplicity, yes please. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600c74c6cbc1b3601d9f4b02/t/61167ceec419da7b4d06b015/1628867217216/DSL003_Lifestyle_1.jpg Blog - Top Kitchen Gadgets - Dash Silicone Nesting Lids Full disclosure y’all - you know I work for Dash. I love our universal Nesting lids because cookware lids are really annoying - and have you ever noticed, really loud. Clanging pot lids harsh my mellow. I try to make daily tasks a little more zen where I can. I use these silicone lids every day. They nest for storage, the 3 sizes fit almost all my cookware and they clean up with a rinse (although they are dishwasher safe as well.) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600c74c6cbc1b3601d9f4b02/t/611689b5bb938e6a7a70dc6e/1629125852411/chefnCitrusJuicer.jpeg Blog - Top Kitchen Gadgets - Chef’n FreshForce Lime or Lemon Squeezer - More Juice for the Squeeze. There are a ton of options for handheld squeezers - here’s why this one is the best. See that little white gear on the edge, that’s giving you more leverage and get a better squeeze with less effort. So you can save your energy for important things. You only need one of these. It works on most small citrus but probably not what you want to use for oranges although they do make an orange one. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600c74c6cbc1b3601d9f4b02/t/61168bb444365c7c4268d348/1628868565051/KuhnRikonShears.jpeg Blog - Top Kitchen Gadgets - Kuhn Rikon Multi-purpose Shears -Cut the crap...out of anything. Seriously. I have been using these shears religiously for YEARS. Some people like to have multiples and stash them around the house but I get by with one set. I use them in the kitchen for everything from spatchcocking a chicken to cutting the stems off fresh flowers. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600c74c6cbc1b3601d9f4b02/t/61169327a8191f61086d34d6/1628869651705/CatReinhard_kitchen.jpg Blog - Top Kitchen Gadgets - Fun Kitchen Gadgets that bring joy to cooking If you’d like to shop small, there are some links to Whisk - my favorite local kitchen shop in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600c74c6cbc1b3601d9f4b02/t/61168899d6661b3774d0f8e8/1629123627339/TEAR-W_wp1.jpg Blog - Top Kitchen Gadgets - RSVP International Onion Goggles No more tears baby. This purchase seemed outlandish and completely unnecessary until I ordered them. If you ever heard about Julia Child learning how to chop onions and spending hours crying over her onions - it all seemed very poetic and beautiful and also unpleasant. There’s no glory in unnecessary suffering. My first pair came from Amazon and that was a mistake. Ill-fitting and fogged up. Don’t cheap out on these - you are going to use them multiple times during the week if you’re cooking. Do they look goofy, yes. They are wonderfully silly. I upgraded to these Onion Googles. https://www.catreinhard.com/blog/taking-chances monthly 0.5 2021-08-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600c74c6cbc1b3601d9f4b02/t/611c43910cb6f04c1556ea68/1629242658937/Tips.jpg Blog - Taking Chances - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600c74c6cbc1b3601d9f4b02/t/611c40a748de1e2a282854eb/1629243043118/ColonyWoodstock.jpg Blog - Taking Chances - Letting go of psychological safety I’ve taken all of 6 or 7 guitar lessons but my teacher, James said it was go time… https://www.catreinhard.com/blog/category/Wellness monthly 0.5 https://www.catreinhard.com/blog/tag/Reviews monthly 0.5 https://www.catreinhard.com/blog/tag/Motivation monthly 0.5 https://www.catreinhard.com/blog/tag/Kitchen monthly 0.5 https://www.catreinhard.com/blog/tag/Life+Lessons monthly 0.5 https://www.catreinhard.com/blog/tag/Wellness monthly 0.5 https://www.catreinhard.com/blog/tag/Shopping monthly 0.5 https://www.catreinhard.com/about daily 0.75 2021-08-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600c74c6cbc1b3601d9f4b02/t/60c4f2686c6c943328283fa2/1623519879798/CatherineGR-406.jpg About - About me Hi, I’m Cat!
