ReplyDeletemy favorite tool ever is my cookie dough scoop.

DeleteI use my garlic press a lot, and for baking I like having a good pastry cutter. I have always used my small grater for zesting the lemons off my backyard tree, but after reading this today, I'm realizing how ridiculous it is that I've never spent $15 on a good microplane. Looks like I need a trip to Williams-Sonoma this weekend! PS- I think I might try those gloves also!
ReplyDeleteI love a good kitchen gadget. You had some great ideas! I love my icecream scoop...it's one those scoops that heats up when you hold the handle so scooping icecream is never hard!!!
