This post is a follow-up to My Favorite Kitchen Gadgets. Here are my favorite kitchen investments, and their best uses. We received most of this stuff as wedding gifts, as we probably wouldn’t have purchased them otherwise.
Best Use: Daily Smoothies and the easiest cleanup ever!
Best Use: Delicious coffee – freshly ground… or not!
Zojirushi Rice Cooker ($75-300)
Best Use: Cooking Long Grain Brown Rice to Perfection (which is hard to cook otherwise). This isn’t the exact model I have, but all of this brand is good.
All-Clad Pots & Pans ($100-300 each)
Best Use: Every Day Cooking! These things are indestructible. They will last a life time. These are the pots and pans you see on every single cooking show on television, and in every professional kitchen, and in every cooking magazine. There is a reason for this!
Best Use: The large one is perfect for Thanksgiving turkeys. The small one is perfect for every day roasting.
Best Uses: Perfect Hummus. Perfect Pesto. You can use this machine for virtually any cutting, but I use it mostly these days to make perfect hummus. I can’t make my chocolate mousse cake or carrot cake without it though!
