I need a fabulous gift for a Bride's shower. They are one of the only couples that have not had their own house before marriage so I thought a good Vat of kitchen tools would be a good gift.
Mine is a melon baller, I use it for lots of things.
What off the wall thing can you not live without?

A microplaner
A kitchen scale with tare weight and both English and Metric systems
An immersion blender
If it's not illegal, unsafe, or immoral, why not try anything once? Who knows? You may come back for a second helping! |

Michele, I forgot about that microplane grater. I use it almost daily for zest or in baking when I grate fresh nutmeg. It's the best thing ever.

Can openers are only useful if you cook with canned ingredients. I usually buy dry beans and I put up my own tomatoes. I can't remember the last time I opened a can with a can opener. |

Definitely a rolling pin and sifter, wooden spoons, a set of stainless bowls AND (at the risk of sounding self-serving!!) an Oklahoma Pastry Cloth™ that I couldn't do any bread, biscuits, pie crust or cookies without!! :-) (yes, I'm giggling)

I love my Pyrex slotted turner. It's silicon and so great for everything from stir fry to eggs to pancakes! It came in a set, but we ordered extras separately :)

Wooden spoons and a heavy old fashion spatula. Oh, and several medium sized metal spoons that can be used for stirring or serving and a soup ladle (which I also use for canning).

Fine mesh strainers. I have collanders, and then I have strainers in ALL kinds of sizes, including one small enough to fit over a mug. They come in handy for almost every single thing.

Those 4"x4" rubber grippers to open jars. Alao great when canning to close those lids tight! I need a new one; I use it so much that it's falling apart.

Yeah, a good can opener is essential. And stainless steel mixing bowls. Great for mixing anything liquid. Also a colander.

I also love my can opener.

Oh I should add a GOOD can opener. We finally found one that holds up from a kitchen store. (zyliss)
We were replacing ours every few months. This one has held up for over a year now even using it on number ten cans.

Hey Diana!
I saw this on HSN & thought it was cute, but couldn't justify spending the cash as I already have most of the items in there. I Like the handy way it rolls up in a bag http://www.hsn.com/kitchen-dining/wolfgang-puck-10-piece-garnishing-set-with-color-accessory-bag_p-6554725_xp.aspx
Comes in various colors too! |
