Cooking for Two
The equipment we use and love.
We recently bought this Mueller Immersion Hand Blender with 7 Attachments. It has a powerful motor with 8 speeds and a turbo button. A major improvement on our old 1-speed Black and Decker Immersion Blender. The attachments include a whisk, a frother, dough hooks, beaters, an immersion blending stick, a chopper, and a potato masher.
This Oxo Good Grips Mandoline has many slicing abilities. With 3 interchangeable blades, it allows you to make julienne strips, 4 different slice thicknesses, and french fries.
This bowl set has 6 different bowl sizes: 1 Qt., 1.5 Qt., 2 Qt., 2.5 Qt., 3.5 Qt., and 7 Qt. They are sturdy Stainless steel with lids and silicone bottoms. We really only use the 5 smaller bowls. Pros: The bowls are deep, so …
This 5-in-1 Rotary Cheese Shredder by Cambom replaces our large food processor for almost every task. It is smaller and much easier to clean than our food processor, and it comes in 10 beautiful colors to choose from.
We highly recommend the Food Saver Compact Food Sealer. It keeps our food fresher for longer and saves us time.
I would buy these Royal Wood Cutting Boards again in a heartbeat! We did try metal and glass cutting boards, but I prefer the feel of wood. Mom likes to use a glass cutting board for raw meat, which is why we will be reviewing our glass cutting boards next month. Neither of us liked the metal cutting boards, they were unpleasant to use and seemed to dull our knives quickly.
We have used this Jaccard-48 Blade Meat Tenderizer for many years. It’s easy to use and does a great job on all kinds of meat.
We recently needed to replace our kitchen scale. I did some research, and we decided to purchase the KitchenAid digital dual-platform kitchen scale. The scale measures about 6 1/2 inches wide and about 10 inches long. It uses three easy-to-find AAA batteries. Pros: The scale …
You have several options when it comes to actually buying this blender. We are only going to talk about the 7-Piece Set and the replacement blades. The 7-piece set came with almost everything we needed except the flat blade which we suggest buying in the replacement blades package if you want to grind spices. These two things together give you several options for container size and blade combinations.
These liquid cups are a perfect size when making meals for two. We use the 1-cup size to mix marinades in. The 2-cup size is great for mixing seasonings with breadcrumbs.
