Past Gastronomical Gadgets

 

 July 11, 2021 ~ We have a SoloStove portable firepit for our camper and when I saw the pizza oven...it had to be mine. I love pizza and could eat it on a daily basis. It's better than a sandwich with basically the same ingredients! We have been making pizza on the regular and I have mastered a wonderful dough you make in the food processor. The food processor! You can use wood or gas, but because we are lazy, impatient, and often hungry, we use the gas. The pizzas are incredible!

 

 

June 7, 2020 ~ Who said that meat slicers were just for grocery store delis?  Well, they're not!  I bought this baby to add functionality to my kitchen.  Since I bake a lot of bread (along with the whole world it seems now) using this to slice had made life more easier, and more evenly sliced!  I also use it to shave freshly smoked pastrami into "waffer theeen" slices.  I've cut bacon slabs, cheese block, and the list of other foods is nearly endless!  It's the perfect kitchen gadget to turn your Christmas hams looking like you ordered them out!

May 24, 2018 ~ I love my Instant Pot!  This snazzy contraption has 9 cooking functions in one. I use mine for pressure cooking meals and boiled eggs. You can bake, make yogurt, cook rice, slow cook, etc.. I may just donate all my three Crock Pots and get a couple more of these bag mamba jambas! Go out and get one if you con't already have one...or two!

May 13, 2016 ~ I spent a month with my good friend and generous hostess with the mostest, AJ, after Dale left me to fend for myself in Washington state. I had just turned in the keys to the house we were renting, and I fled to the comforts of AJ’s humble abode. Well, it’s far from humble, because it’s so darned big and lovely!


I digress.

I soon became addicted and then dependent on two gadgets she let me use on a daily basis. One was the Ninja Coffee Bar maker, and the other was her airfryer! I had to have these!
Here they are! I even have the nice assortment of flavored syrups to go with my coffee bar. Both of these appliances are worth the money, and I’ve sold my sister, Dori on the airfryer! AJ had Todd English AirFryer, but my sister and I had to settle for the Avalon brand. Poor us.

September 12, 2015 ~ I bought this little gadget quite some time ago, but I use it all of the time.  It's a Palermo Instant Read Probe Food Thermometer.  I use it to check the temperature of chickens, breads, frying oils, etc..  There are so many uses.  This one was on amazon.com and I paid under $20.  That's really a good price for how fast and accurate it is. This is a must have, and really should be any serious cook's kitchen.

May 30, 2015 ~ My awesome brother-in-law, John sent me this Nuwave 2 induction burner. He saw how much Dori had liked it and asked her if I would like one. So, much to my surprise, this was boxed up and waiting at my back doorstep. "Happy Birthday!" he exclaimed when I texted him about it. He's the best Bro-in-law a girl could ask for. Thank you again, John!
