Santa’s Kitchen Gadgets

Santa knows how much I enjoy cooking and experimenting with new dishes. He's given me some cool kitchen gadgets over the years.

	Immersion blender ​From the moment I learned about immersion blenders, I wished I had one. Fortunately, Santa was able to find just what I wanted without him having to spend a bundle. So far I’ve used it to purée chunks of zucchini in a pot of turkey broth and to whip up egg whites for Belgian waffles. I expect to continue to find this gadget in regular use in my kitchen. I love this little appliance so much!
Spiral veggie slicer  ​You’ve undoubtedly heard of my huge success growing zucchini this year. Santa knows one of my favorite recipes is Zucchini Alfredo. This little baby ought to help make the zoodles (zucchini noodles) in a jiffy. Also recommended for cucumbers and carrots. I’m sure I’ll be experimenting with other vegetables from my garden as well.
	Rev-A-Shelf  ​Santa was probably spying on me as I grunted and groaned getting loaf pans and other cookware out from the back of a lower cabinet. I was pleased when he delivered two Rev-A-Shelves to be installed in the bottom cabinet. With them in place, it is so much easier to get out heavy bowls, glass loaf pans, and my big Corningware casserole dishes!
Touchless faucet ​​I admit this faucet is not exactly a stocking stuffer. He knew our current faucet was failing, and got us this one to solve our problem (with a cool upgrade!). We love waving our hand at the faucet and having the water start flowing. FYI, It takes some batteries that are installed under the sink. It's not a pleasant task to replace them.
	Smart Ice Cream Scoop We still haven’t got this scoop, but we were gifted a different scoop from a friend. It works better than our old one, but maybe someday ...

Did you receive any kitchen gadgets this Christmas? My readers would love to hear about your favorites and one’s you’ll probably be returning or donating to a charity of your choice.

Good cooking to you,
