CALLING ALL COOKS OF ALL CUISINES!
Every culture has it's own, unique, sometimes hard-to-find kitchen tools.
Since the 67,000+ members on this site represent virtually the entire world, why not take a few minutes to take a good photo, write the name of the tool, and give a brief description of how the tool is used and what dishes you make using that tool.
We all are hungry - for knowledge, for ideas, for recipes and for food - please feed our hunger!

Holy cow, Amos, what a great idea! I've been called (not always kindly lol) the gadget queen.
I would like to know just where to get one of those juicers!
Hi, A.L. - Look above at Claudia's comment regarding the juicer. Take some photos of you own favorites and just add them to the right, under the photo - hit add/edit, and upload your shots. Good to have you here. By the way, have you been back to look at the carrot cake photos? I am getting some positive feedback. Stay in touch!
No worries about the juicer. I ran out the other day to run a few errands, and happened to spot one of these on sale! I used it as soon as I got home, after washing it, for no other reason than to just play with my new toy lol!
I did see the carrot cake pics, Amos, and they look great! Yum!

Kitchen Tools, Gear & Gizmos
A China Cap - not as fine a strainer as a chinoise or chinois. A wooden pestle is used to strain soups and juices, etc. |
Juicer-comes in 3 sizes. This one is medium and works for lemons, limes and oranges. easy to reach and super easy to clean. Can't live without it |
Replaced some bristle kitchen basting brushes - butter cleans easily and it is extremely flexible. Still use bristles for some things, though. |
The needle is cut on a bias to let you inject all types of flavorings under the skin of poultry & fowl |
I finally, after many years, bought a rice cooker/veg steamer. What a time saver! I can't believe I went so many years without one. |
Mexican 'Olla' - this one is lead-free glazed and used for slow cooking some of our bean dishes. (see recipe) |
The microplane - the modern all-purpose tool for grating, zesting & garnishing. Made in the USA - love it! |
When, as they say, I "get my Martha on", I go to her heavy-gauge stainless steel UNBENDABLE measuring cups |
This Hamilton-Beach ice cream scoop is a classic tool, still regularly used and without peer. I have had many scoops - none beat this one |
Dumpling press. I bought it at a dollar store for 50 cents. It worked so well, and saved so much time and effort, that I went back and bought 5 more so that the whole family could help with the fun! |
This is our baby - a 4 qt. Fagor Elite. These do double duty on the stovetop with their glass covers. Unbeatable! |
I use it like I would a vegetable peeler, except it has teeth that cut the slice into julienne strips. |
A digital kitchen scale that measures in both US/Metric. One that can be zeroed out with a container on top before added ingredients is ideal. Great tool for baking when using weight formulas. |
An instant read digital thermometer. Great for keeping stocks at a constant temperature for long periods of time. Nice for measuring internal temperature when baking as well. |
Silpat mats. A must for baking. Nothing sticks to these things. Easier than parchment or spraying for almost anything going into the oven. |
For 'special guests' we bring out the Hellem Vaculator coffee maker. Classic, discontinued French perfection with Illy coffee.
|
Best poultry roaster ever invented: we use them for chicken, a larger version for turkey, and smaller version for cornish or game hens. Ceramic, hand crafted, roasts perfectly from both inside & out
|
If you do not have AT LEAST 1 motar & pestle - you are not equipt. I like brass, lava stone and marble, depending on what I need to break down..
|
I've cooked everything from soup to nuts harnessing the energy of the sun. Here the Sun Oven sits closed up on my garden cart..... |

If you have a favorite recipe on C-E-S that employed your favorite tool, by all means post that recipe here when you upload the photo of that tool! !
