They Tried To Make Me Go To [Kitchen Gadget] Rehab
If you know me at all, you are aware that I am a total gadget geek. The more specialized the kitchen tool, the better. Whereas our forebears could do anything with a paring knife and cast iron skillet, this generation of kitchen stuff junkies needs its cherry pitters, tortilla warmers, baby food makers and pimp peppercorn grinders. Whenever I hear of a completely new gadget, I try to rationalize whether or not I need it, and the answer is typically yes, and when can it be delivered. It doesn’t take much for me to come up with scenarios where a pineapple slicer or a french fry cutter would be absolutely crucial.
Here’s one that blew my mind just today, that I saw on Tasting Table: The Wonder Plunger Measuring Cup for wet ingredients like peanut butter, honey and molasses that are otherwise impossible to wield accurately.
Another gadget, well gadget duo actually, that I know would change my life for the better is Williams-Sonoma’s jalapeno pepper corer and jalapeno roasting rack for the grill. I mean, come on, imagine the popper possibilities. It’s almost too much for me to bear.
