Ingredients: Garlic Press
We know there are tons of talented chefs out in the world (who simply take a knife, smash the garlic clove and chop it up to minced perfection), but the garlic press helps to distribute even flavor and juices, optimizing the clove as much as possible in your dish. A perk? Say goodbye to the lingering stench of garlic on your finger tips.
All-Purpose Digital Thermometer
While there are several types of cooking thermometers available, an all-purpose should suffice your everyday needs. Use this tool for meat, candies and baking, but be sure to sanitize after working with meat. The thermometer helps you better gage internal temperatures so that your dish is prepared perfectly and not overcooked.

Directions:Whisk
Why use a whisk when you can use a spoon or a fork? The extra benefit of using a whisk is that it incorporates more air into the product you're mixing. Spoons and forks simply blend ingredients, while a whisk can increase the volume. For example, try whisking an egg white, opposed to mixing with a fork.
Strainer and Sifter in One
It only makes sense when shopping for kitchen tools that you get the most bang for your buck. Part of being an innovative, disciplined chef is learning how to use the tools, to the best of your ability, that surround you. Does your recipe called for sifted flour or powdered sugar? Skip the technical sifter and reach for the strainer. Simply hit the edges of the strainer with the edge of the palm of your hand and voila! Rinse and reuse to wash veggies, fruit, or drain your pasta. |
