THÔNG TIN TÀI LIỆU
upgraded to a fancy-pants model with a fuzzy logic processor¶ and a nifty latching top that keeps the moisture level inside at the exact right level I love my rice cooker almost as much as I love my instant-read thermometer, which is just a hair more than I love my wife (just kidding, honey) ESSENTIAL KITCHEN HAND TOOLS AND GADGETS A well-stocked vacation home probably has two to three drawers worth of tools, of which only half are even identifiable and perhaps three or four are ever used The following is a list of tools that you’ll use all the time Get ’em Utensil Holder First things first: if your tools are at the back of a drawer, you probably won’t use them And if you don’t use them, you probably won’t cook as often And if you don’t cook, what’s the point of living, really? A utensil holder with a capacity of at least quarts helps keeps your tools handy right where you need them If style is what you’re after, Le Creuset makes handsome ceramic models in a variety of colors for around $25 If, on the other hand, pure functionality is your goal, any old small bucket will I use a $5 metal version from IKEA Bench Scraper A bench scraper is one of those tools whose advantages aren’t obvious until you start using it regularly I keep one on my cutting board whenever I’m doing prep work It quickly transfers chopped mirepoix to my saucepan or carrot peels to the trash I use it to divide dough when making pizzas, or ground beef when making burgers For cleanup, a bench scraper makes short work of dough scraps that have dried onto the work surface, and it efficiently picks up tiny bits of chopped herbs and other debris (By the way, you should never use the blade of your knife to pick this stuff up off your board It’s dangerous, and it will rapidly dull the edge of your knife.) A bench scraper also makes removing stickers from glass bottles or labels from plastic containers a snap With its comfortable handle, sturdy construction, convenient built-in 6-inch ruler, and an edge sharp enough to rough-chop vegetables, the OXO Good Grips Pastry Scraper ($8.99) is the first choice for home kitchens In my knife kit, however, I keep a lightweight plastic C R Manufacturing scraper (50 cents), which performs most of those functions at a fraction of the cost, in a much more compact package Saltcellar and Pepper Mill Why would anyone need a saltcellar? Underseasoning food is the most common culinary blunder Ask me why your food tastes blander than you’d like it to, and 90 percent of the time, all it needs is a little pinch of salt Having a container of a salt in a prominent spot by your prep station or stove serves as a constant reminder to season, taste, season, and taste again until you get it exactly right I ... picks up tiny bits of chopped herbs and other debris (By the way, you should never use the blade of your knife to pick this stuff up off your board It’s dangerous, and it will rapidly dull the edge of your knife.)
