Here are some of the items I like, alot,microplane,tortilla keeper,mini food processor, thai stone mortar and pestle,I recieved an egg slicer from my father and mother ,as well as an an an apple slicer that I cherish .They are both gone on now. My mother bought me a set of large stainless steele bowls the Christmas before she died and I would be at a loss without them .They are great.There is a small wooden handled half moon shape turner I got fromm my grandmother. It is very old and I use it more than anything to toss veggies in cooking.I wish I could find it in stores to buy another one but have not been able to. Thanks for your site!

I'm always on the hunt for very old wooden spoons that are perfectly seasoned and have a deep bowl, cooking spoons with bakelite handles, and vintage jars to hold spices, grains, etc. I live in Mennonite country and there are several thrift stores run by this sect. The prices are great and so are the treasures I find for my kitchen. I have a wonderful old garlic press from Germany that belonged to my daughter-in-law's grandmother. The holes are large and it doesn't take a lot of strength to use. Although my food processor is new, I wouldn't want to live without it! My husband often wonders if I need a new cooking spoon, but when I'm cooking a big meal, I tend to use alot of them! Great website. I'm glad I found it.

I'm trying to simplify my life a bit- but would be so sad without my oxo salad spinner, my garlic press, kitchen tongs, and my favorite little serated kitchen knife. I just read your post about the homemade ice cream and think that life would be a little sweeter with an ice cream maker, too. So much for simplicity :) I just found your site and it’s truly appreciated.

Hamburger Patty Press Grain Mill - hand operated, but will soon be motorized:) I love making bread and milling my own flour!!

As I mentioned in my comment on the last post, this will be a long list! All the items are Pampered Chef unless otherwise noted (*). I first had a party several years ago and ended up with a ton of free stuff, and since then have hosted many parties and become a demonstrator--mostly just to get the goodies on the cheap! So here goes! Garlic press; Citrus press; berry corer (called core and more); micro-plane grater (awesome for zesting); meat tenderizer*; spoon rest; forged cutlery knives (these are amazing!); batter bowls; prep bowls; bamboo utensils; Measure, Mix & Pour (for dressing); food chopper (I have two because one is almost always dirty!); kitchen shears; apple wedger; cheese grater; silicone scrapers; stainless whisks (two sizes); scoops (three sizes); egg separator; salad and berry spinner; and all the various sizes of baking stones. I have other stuff, but those are the items I use all the time. Now, aren't you glad you asked??? :-) tm Oh, baby! As I mentioned in my comment on the last post, this will be a long list!
