Immersion blenders seem to be more popular outside of the US, I'm glad they are catching on stateside. For the second Gift From the Kitchen Gods, consider the microplane grater, they are incredible and a great value (Whole Foods has them for $9). It's wonderful to be able to zest a lemon without zesting your fingers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273490805343363580.post-61121624728183965752007-10-15T17:58:00.000-04:002007-10-15T17:58:00.000-04:00Kitchen jewel for me is the mighty ramekin. The r...Kitchen jewel for me is the mighty ramekin. The ramekin is an unsung hero, a work horse (next metaphor, please). I use it to hold ingredients (sort of mise en place) while I am cooking, to hold garnishes for folks to put on their own dishes, to hold just the perfect amount of crema catalana, creme brulee or individual chocolate cake. It can be frozen or used in the oven (maybe even a microwave but, alas, we have never had one so I can't vouch from personal experience). It can also be used to hold butter in a make-shift bain marie (or honey - nothing like high quality honey warmed and drizzled over frozen yogurt or ice cream). Muliple sizes are another plus. I can never have enough.<BR/><BR/>Here's to the ramekin!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273490805343363580.post-23365660461485864002007-10-15T14:28:00.000-04:002007-10-15T14:28:00.000-04:00ah yes, the "immersion blender"...i always thought...ah yes, the "immersion blender"...<BR/>i always thought it was called "my happy magic wand tool"<BR/>I purchased my first do-dad of this ilk earlier this year in Iceland, and went to town with it. The wonderful thing about kitchen gadgets like this in iceland/europe is that the current in the sockets is much stronger. Motors are therefore much more powerful, and blending wands get much more magical. The bad thing about that, is that you can't bring them to the states and plug them into our wimpy walls. SO, i had to leave it behind...<BR/>Imagine my surprise and joy to find one left behind by the previous tenants of my new apartment!! What is it about these things that makes hasty-packers leave them behind? Perhaps they are so wonderful and magical that we can never truely own them - we are just the corperal vehical for their karmic journey from household to household, as they seek to serve those in need of silky smooth sauces and soups.BenBoothbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281257588749510313noreply@blogger.com
