uploading photos
I tried twice to upload a photo here, and it never showed up! Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Sorry for the delay - been out of town! Was your photo of your lovely rice cooker??? I always advise using it for rice only. Get a couple of Chinese steaming baskets for your veggies. Let's see more. By the way, if this is NOT your photo, all you need to do is click the "Add/Edit" button under the photos to the left, then - add the photo(s).
I see the rice cooker was A.L.'s, so try again, Jann!
Yeah, Amos, I have not steamed veggies in the new rice cooker, as I'm afraid they'd be overcooked. I hate mushy veggies...especially gray broccoli. The rice turns out very nicely though, so I feel like I've gotten my money's worth.
We find that using a stiff bristle plastic brush will remove any stuck rice - and we also use that for our saute, fry and cast iron ware, avoiding any abrasives. Usually no problems cleaning the rice insert. Actually, the steaming baskets are fast and friendly in the kitchen anyway, and this is especially good if you plan on serving steamed veggies & rice at the same time...
It was a bitmap image of an apple peeler, and it wouldn't upload. So, I uploaded a picture I took of my Corn Grater, and that worked fine!

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..... |
