Kitchen Gadget Spotlight II

by Elyse Ferland on February 22, 2010

I know you’ve all been anxiously waiting to hear what nifty kitchen gadgets I have for you today!  So without further ado, here they are!

Silicone Finger Tongs

I wouldn’t usually suggest putting your hands into a hot pan, but with these silicone finger tongs, you can do just that!  The unique design of these tongs, allow you to pick up your hot food right out of the pan.  They are also heat resistant up to 500°F (260°C) and dishwasher safe.   So if your usual cooking tongs just aren’t cutting it, then you’ll definitely want to try these out.

Herb chopper

I love the idea of this herb chopper!  First of all, you don’t need to use a cutting board because it comes with its own handy chopping surface that can easily be washed once you’re done.  As an added convenient bonus, the chopper fits right into the chopping surface for easy storage!

Digital recipe reader

Here’s a handy gadget that allows you to store up to 2500 of your tried and true recipes. Because of its light weight, you can bring it with you just about anywhere.  In fact, why not bring it with you when you’re grocery shopping?  Among many of the great features of this recipe reader are the built in timer, measurement converter and a list of ingredient substitutions.  I’m putting this one on my Birthday wish list!

Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed my second series of kitchen gadget finds.  Stay tuned for more!

Hi Sean,

It all depends on the type of cooking you do. If you do a lot of barbecuing, then you may want to invest in an infrared thermometer. If you do a lot more indoor cooking, then a digital food thermometer is a great way to go.

There are many different types of digital food thermometers available in today’s market. You can even find a good selection of them at your local grocery store. I suggest reading the instructions on the packaging first to determine which one would work best for you.

Your other option is to use the good old fashioned dial thermometer.

We have a blog post on food thermometers that you may find helpful. Here is the link http://www.chickenfeeds.ca/2009/06/food-thermometers-and-why-they-are-so-important/

Thanks for your question and happy food thermometer shopping!
