Twister Jar Opener
Sometimes jar lids are so stubborn, that no matter how hard you try to twist them open, they won't budge! This twisting style jar opener is especially great for opening jars that contain ingredients like honey, jelly and preserves or other sticky substances that might make the jar lid stick to the jar. These jar openers are small, making it easy to store in a drawer.
Julienne Peeler
Small, handheld Julienne Peelers are wonderful tools for peeling small, thin, long strips from vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, zucchini or other vegetables that have some length to them. They are also great for dressing up desserts with julienned apple, lemon and orange peels, or even chocolate. This tool is lightweight and very easy to handle!
Mandoline Slicer
A mandoline slicer is a versatile and valuable tool to have in the kitchen. It very quickly slices fruits and vegetables with great ease, making each slice uniform in size. Mandoline Slicers require no electricity, and store very easily. These slicers can be used on a flat surface or over a bowl. You can even find a variety of small handheld mandoline slicers for just a few dollars in stores.
Measuring Cups
When it comes to making seasoned meatballs as well as sauces, there will be the need for measuring a variety of ingredients into your ground meat, such as chopped onion, parsley, bread crumbs, milk, broth and the list goes on! A good set of measuring cups is highly valuable, and even better when you have the convenience of additional sizes, such as 1/8, 2/3 and 3/4 of a cup!
Measuring Spoons
When it comes to making meatballs, measuring spoons are a must; and just like measuring cups, it helps to have additional sizes, such as 1/2 of a tablespoon, 3/4 of a teaspoon, 1/8 of a tespoon and even small measurements such as a pinch or dash! Though you can certainly get by with the minimal basic teaspoon sizes, it makes cooking much easier with the additional sizes.
Meat Grinder
Meat grinders are wonderful for those who like to use their own choice cuts of meat for recipes that use ground beef, ground pork, ground chicken, ground turkey or even ground fish! Grinding your own meats will also allow you to prepare your food with leaner meat, should you desire. There are a few styles of meat grinders out there, including attachments made for electric mixers.
