Top 5 Favorite Kitchen Items
Posted by Tara on Thursday, January 5th, 2012
What would be your top 10 favorite kitchen items you would really hate to be without? Here’s a list I’ve compiled of my favorites!
Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer – I love the 3 different attachements for whipping egg whites/cream, the one for cakes and cookie batters, and especially the dough hook attachment. Making breads and pizza crust is so much easier with this attachment. Someday I would like to purchase the pasta attachment though.
Vitamix – My son has wanted one of these for a long time. We’ve killed 2 Magic Bullets already. So for Christmas my dear hubby got both of us the Vitamix. And we LOVE it. Be looking for a future post about some of our morning concoctions with this machine. Another plus is the fact that the Vitamix is MADE IN AMERICA!
Cast Iron skillets – I’ve got them in all sizes – small ones for scrambling eggs, 10″ for cornbread, and an oversize 12-14″ skillet for making dressing, deep dish pizza, or large portions of casseroles. To me there is nothing prettier than Southern Dressing served in an oversized cast iron skillet.
Cast Iron Grill/Griddle – I must admit this baby is pretty heavy and fits over 2 of my gas cooktop burners. But I love the fact that one side is a griddle and the other side is a grill. The griddle makes perfect pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches. The grill is perfect for chicken or steaks or veggies when it’s too cold to grill outdoors.
Cast Iron 10″ Round Griddle – this baby is perfect for baking biscuits or making small portions of pancakes. This griddle belonged to my husband’s grandmother and it makes me feel nostalgic every time I bake biscuits.
So what are your favorite kitchen items?
