Every kitchen needs some cool gadgets to make things run smoother, work better or just plain make life easier. This week I want to share a few things that I {ACTUALLY} bought on Amazon and just love! Whether you are looking for some gift ideas for the home cook in your life or just want to treat yourself to something fun for your kitchen set-up, I hope you will come back each week to see what else I found. And yes – of course – these are some affiliate links in the post.
All-Clad Anodized Grill Pan – I use my grill pan for so many things – but most notably to grill up tortillas and buns to make the dishes pretty. You can also use them for getting great grill marks on your chicken, steak or pork chop. I really like to use them to toast up buns for sandwiches, not just to make them pretty, but also helps it from getting too soggy while you are eating – like in this recipe for Easy Bratwurst Rolls.
Pullman Loaf Pan with Lid, 2 Pack – I got these loaf pans specifically for the lids, as it makes it so you actually get the square loaves to make sandwiches. I am pretty excited to be able to get more use out of my sourdough loaves, in being able to make sandwiches out of the entire loaf and not just the middle of it.
Meat Grinder – if you do not have a meat grinder in your kitchen, you need to really consider adding one. This particular one is compact (so it won’t take up tons of space in your cabinets). It has two speeds and three different cut sizes so that you can adjust the fine or coarseness of the grind as you wish. It also has all the attachments to make your own sausage – which is on my list of things to accomplish this summer! I very much like to purchase a whole pork tenderloin (which is usually half or less per pound). I portion half of it into 1 inch chops. And the other half, I separate into 1.5 pound portions and put them through a medium grind. This is what I use for recipes like my Pork Dumpling Smash Tacos. ONE BIG TIP – keep the attachments in the freezer. The colder they are the more evenly cut the meat comes out.
3 Tiered Stackable Strawberry Pot – I have been so happy with this strawberry pot. It has been doing a great job with our strawberry plants this year and I am very much so looking forward to my harvest this year.
Taste of Home Farmhouse Entertaining Cookbook – I always love adding cookbooks to my collection. I truthfully read cookbooks like they are novels. I love to learn about new (to me) ingredients, and new (again, to me) techniques. Taste of Home is one of my favorite series of cookbooks. They cover so many different styles and topics in their variety of books.

The loaf pan with a lid is such a great idea! Cheese toasties are a favourite in our home. This would work perfectly!
