Kitchen Tools - Shining Stars For 2016

It’s more adapted for microwave reheating. Also, it was some different sizes compartments if you want half of the boxes for salad and half for hot food, you can take the salad part out when you reheat the rest. It has sauce cups, small boxes for eggs, the fork, knifes and the chopsticks can be all stored in the box. Quite practical, and tiny improvement from the more traditional bento box, I would say.

I really don’t know since I haven’t played with adjusting it, something I would normally have done immediately, and I haven’t spoken to Dave in a year to ask him what he suggests. I spent most of 2016 disabled, at Dr.'s, in the hospital, or in bed. Only went out to get groceries/run errands. It was a lost year for me.

No, I just checked it on a 10" pot - it falls thru. My deep pasta pot is 9" across and it works perfectly. Also works on most of my saucepans. The brand on mine is Kuhn Rikon. It would be good if they made a larger size.

Don’t think this one would work for that purpose. I just use a piece of wax paper that I jam the mixer sticks through - works perfectly for whip cream. Otherwise my backslash would be a speckled mess.

Speedy recovery. 2016 sucked every which way. Have a better 2017!

I moved to a new apartment which has a less powerful stove making cooking less enjoyable… and there are other issue too. The kitchen itself is just not as well designed as the previous one.

I guess the biggest kitchen tool highlight I have is the Glestain Chef’s knife. Many foods which stick to the other knives do not stick to Glestain, which makes the food preparation a bit more streamlined and faster. I can dice a an entire tomato, and the tomato will pretty much stay in place.

I wrote a review a few months back.

Otherwise, there really aren’t many highlights… Since my new kitchen has lesser storage space and prep space, I bought an inexpensive ~$130 kitchen preparation which turned out pretty good for its price. I don’t know if it counts as a tool.
