For example, my tomato knife which has a "hook" at the end is my cherry pitter.
Another is a tea strainer that was supposed to fit into my tea pot, didn't, so I use it whenever I wash rice or need to sprinkle or sift a small amount of dry ingredients.
The other day I made some dark chocolate and cherry clafoutis and was looking around for this previously mentioned tea strainer to sprinkle some powdered sugar.
But I couldn't find it.
Shook it over the clafoutis...job well done.
Do you have multi-use gadgets in your kitchen too?
I would have to say my peeler, I'm such a gadget girl, I love kitchen gadgets, but the one tool that I use for other purposes is a peeler. I use it to thinly slice cabbage for slaw, but it's pretty wide, about 8cm, I think. I use it for gobo,as well. I haven't creatively used a gadget meant for one purpose for another, but I think that's quite genius of you.
ReplyDeleteYou made dark chocolate and cherry clafoutis! I made cherry clafoutis today! But... I am not satisfied with the look (taste was good) so I'm going to make it again... Adding dark chocolate is totally my flavor. Delicious! Hmmm gadget... I can't think of it but I'm sure I'm taking short cuts. =P
ReplyDeleteFor the life of me I can't think of dual-purpose gadgets in my kitchen although I know I must do the same thing when the need arises.
ReplyDeletethat is a cool use for your peeler, Elle Marie!
ReplyDeletecherry clafoutis is my fave Nami, I learned it while living in Japan :)
