cooking utensils
We need only a few basic things in our kitchen. A couple of sauce pots, a frying pan, a couple of knives, some cooking tools, a chopping board, a can opener and a few other items will be enough cooking utensils to make a functional kitchen. The problem is manufacturers keep coming up with gadgets with very specific uses. Have you ever heard of an egg-separator? How about a flexible chopping board?
We see these new gadgets and feel that it is an absolute must that we get one for our kitchen. We use it once or twice and then it is relegated to the drawers. Sometimes we buy more knives because the color of the handles will perk up the kitchen counter. Or we buy more pots and pans because there is more space in the rod where we hang them. Let us all learn to be disciplined in our shopping otherwise we will end up with cabinets and drawers bursting at the seams.
