My Top 4 Low-Tech Kitchen Gadgets!
technically, there are 7 low-tech's here, but since 3 of them are the same, I will say we have 4 faves here!
1) utensil canister - I keep these just to the right of my stove. They hold my heat-proof spatulas, wooden spoons, and other things I regularly use like my ladle, and tongs.
2) my butter dish - we had a nice white ceramic butter dish since we were married, but recently it cracked. I took the opportunity to get this lovely new yellow one from anthropologie. Why do I love a butter dish? It lets me keep a small amount of butter covered, but out on the counter at all times, soft & ready to spread.
3) olive oil jar - we use olive oil for all of our cooking, and keeping it accessible and with a pour spout is really handy for the everyday.
4) salt pinch pot - my sister made this pot for me in her High School pottery class. I love it for the certianty it gives in adding salt to a dish. it's easy to use a measuring spoon for a recipe, and I believe I use a lot less in my cooking because I can see what I'm pouring in.
Just looking at this picture makes me happy. Low tech or not, these are my favorite kitchen aids. What are yours, dear friends??
My silicone (sp?) pastry brush! I use it to brush sauce on my chicken and other meats before putting them in the oven. I think I got it at Fred Meyer, and it was cheaper than the horse hair ones, and in my opinion it works better, too!
