2009 was a year that trends definately took a turn toward the home kitchen. Fewer dinners out made us feel more responsible about our health and our wallets. Eating IN is the new Eating OUT. The Food Network helped us out by showing us the way back into our own kitchens. Bella Kitchen helped by having the MUST HAVE tools in the kitchen. These were and continue to be our favorites:
#5 - Joyce Chen red handled scissors - These little scissors are used in my kitchen, bath and at work. I grab them constantly; to open plastic bags, to get into the crazy overpackaged clamshell products, to cut the shells of crab, etc. Love them.
#4 - Microplane zester grater and rotary grater - revolutionary
#3 - Silicone tipped tongs - my second set of hands in the kitchen. Great for so many cooking tasks, safe for non-stick pans and heat resistant to 500 degrees.
#2 - Lemon squeezer - our almost favorite tool of the year. Makes juicing lemon and limes effortless. There is no juice left behind.
AND... DRUMROLL...THE NUMBER ONE TOOL/GADGET OF THE YEAR
#1 - Poach pods - The best thing since eggs benedict. Perfectly poached eggs. Easy as Pie.
