Our kitchen is full of useless things. But where is the line between useful and useless and unnecessary things which are really useful in a kitchen? This is the subject of this post, surely the most useless blog.
The boundary between the useful and the useless is based simply on his name. Everything we use is not useless, it's simple and semantics. I have a pump juice that I never use: Useless; knives: useful, a magnetic strip: useful ... So of course, this limit is a function of what we do in our kitchen, so very subjective. An asparagus will need a steamer SEB (though useless), and that will make a Chinese (for once essential).
Some tools are very useful, even necessary under certain recipes. But what we see most is the extraordinary amount of things that can clutter our drawers and kitchen cabinets. We do not disperse and stop spending a fortune on gadgets in plastic in the best case they break the Twentieth use, at worst, remain unused at the bottom of a closet. Indeed, there is no limit to the imagination in the culinary aids. Go shopping for professional, even if you pay a little more, you will not clutter your kitchen objects bazaar.
I will bow to the year to advertise in any tools that one would tend to shift and that are totally useful.
Zyliss tomato peeler The subject is the most useful of these useless objects. It helps to peel tomatoes, kiwi walls, Persimmons, asparagus, peppers ... Everything that is impossible to peel with a peeler ordinary, he does (watch your fingers). About 10 €.
The grater microplane is totally useful. I do not know how they managed to rasp as effective. A twist of lemon or orange is incomparable with this blade.
Chinese. Neither gadget, or sham, Chinese is useful and necessary for sauces.
plates and silicone molds Demarle Flixiplan. Absolutely beautiful. A good cook will tell you that the fluted copper molds do not clean because they do not stick. I must be a bad cook and I said, long live the silicone!
The press Cookbook Cookbook of Pageholder Sagaform (about 25 €). It is really unnecessary, but I have not found better to maintain an open book to the right page while I'm making a recipe.
It must also include the induction, the microwave, the Kenwood head, cast iron, the circles of pastry, the melon baller.
For the following items, the utility is relative: the oven thermometer, pump juice, lawyers knives, slice the eggs, egg yolk separator, the carrot peeler, the apple peeler patented Lépin contest, and while the stock of the findings presented in the morning shopping.
As for the ham slicer, it is truly dedicated professionals. Between cleaning and the place it occupies, it is very accessory, even if it is delicious shredded ham or slices of apple translucent. I'll sell mine who did not serve for more than six months. Taker?
