Hi there peoples! I wanted to tell you about some of the equipment I've been using in my kitchen over this past month. You know a cook is only as good as the tools she uses and I have been very blessed to have nice things that are really useful.
A few years when I was over in Canada, the Toddster wore out our tin opener and had to buy a new one. I have never been fond of the new one he bought. (Sorry Todd!) I recently got this new One-Touch Automatic Can Opener.
I've never had a battery operated can opener before. At first I wasn't quite sure how to use it. The handy instruction leaflet which came with it soon dispelled any mystery.
You simply place the can opener on top of the can with it's rim positioned in the groove between the cutter and the drive wheel. With the tin on a flat surface you press the button for about one second and release and then it goes to work, cutting the can all the way around. You then press the button again to reverse the cutter and it reverses and stops.
You then lift the cutter off the can, and the magnet on the can opener will pick up the lid for convenience. Easy Peasy, lemon squeezy! I tried to take a video of it in action, but I need a teenager around to show me how to use my camera. Sigh . . . all I got was the picture you can see at the top with the opener on top of the can and my finger going in to touch the button!
I've also been using these Colour Works Utensils. The Masher is made from Nylon and is dishwasher safe and suitable for nonstick surfaces. Heat resistant to 210*C/410*F., it carries a five year warantee.
The Silicone Spoon Spatula is also dishwasher safe, hygenic and very flexible. It's stain resistant and suitable for non-stick surfaces. It is heat resistant for up to 260*C/500*F and also comes with a five year warantee.
What can I say? They do their job and I love that they don't scratch my pans and are dishwasher safe.
