One of the simplest tools of the kitchen is the grater, whether it’s used for cheese or other ingredients, a good grater is an awesome tool to keep in your kitchen. Graters aren’t expensive products to have either but the ordinary grater I had, held over a plate was just annoying when I was in a rush trying to get my ingredients all lined up. When I saw this Oxo Good Grips Box Grater I had to grab it, it was only $14.99 and came with a box that

attaches to the bottom of the grater and it even has measurements notched on it to help you measure your ingredients as you grate instead of having to grate and pack your ingredients in to a container. Sure this one only saves you a step but it’s a great step to save!
The Oxo Good Grips Box Grater is carried over at Amazon.com and is a part of the free shipping products they carry as well as being a part of their buy three get a fourth free product sector so if you find three other tools for the kitchen that you like in the same product sector here you can get this one free! |

I have been through my fair share of rolling pins in my time and all have had their good and bad points but after having this Fiesta Products Baker’s Style Sil-pin Silicone Rolling Pin for a month and a half I have yet to find one issue with it. I opted for this one since the cheap one I had been using began really irritating me with the handles going every which way and the plastic roller just not cooperating…you can’t expect much more from something you only paid a couple bucks

for though can you? So I opted to pick up one of these silicone rolling pins, the kind without the handles and I have to say this is one of the most amazing bakery purchases I have made to date. I didn’t have to spend a fortune…after all it is JUST a rolling pin, and I didn’t have to settle for a wooden pin that collects and breeds bacteria despite being washed thoroughly!
I grabbed my Fiesta Products Baker’s Style Sil-pin Silicone Rolling Pin from Amazon.com simply because I had a gift card there and I was unable to find this particular type and brand at my usual stops. |

There are so many people out there who cannot stand Rachel Ray for whatever reason but I am not one of them. Not only do I find Rachel Ray endearing but I absolutely love 30 minute meals because they’re quick, easy and you can pick from multiple choices of what you want to make and still have it done in 30 minutes. The one problem I have with cook books as opposed to baking books is that usually cook books don’t give you a lot of choice of meals without getting all fancy and

|
taking hours on end to prep and then cook them. The Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats–A Year of Deliciously Different Dinners (A 30-Minute Meal Cookbook) gives you 365 different 30 minute meal recipes to cook from which is absolutely amazing and you can’t beat it for under $20!
You should be able to find this book in any bookstore that stocks cookbooks so your local Barnes and Noble etc should carry it; however, if you pick it up from Amazon you’ll save yourself a few dollars! |

This awesome kitchen knife holder with knife set aka "The Ex" has been featured in many magazines and it always catches my eye; however the price tag is always way over $100 and no way i’m going to pay that for something so gimmicky…however, the fact remains that I liked it and while i’d rather save paying over $100 for a nice knife set that’s going to last a long time when I saw this set for $69.95 on Amazon I picked it up to satisfy that nagging "I really like that" feeling I get everytime I see it.

This knife holder comes with five knives, an 8 inch chef’s knife, an 8" bread knife, and 8" carver, a 5" utility and a 3 1/2" parer. The handles on the knives are hollow and designed by Raffaele Iannello. The holding block aka "the Ex" is an ABS plastic block in an effigy design and contains protective sleeves to prevent accidental stabbings when the knives are being displayed.
This piece is not only perfect for people like me who fall for gimmicky stuff but it’s also the perfect color and idea for an artsy type set up as well as the perfect gift for a college kid’s first apartment! Check it out over at Amazon! |

My newest adventure in baking is bundt cakes and while I find them both easy and fun to back I have problems when it comes to keeping them fresh. Bundt cake tends to harden and dry out pretty quickly and because it is such a large cake it is really difficult to find a container that will accommodate the height and diameter of a bundt cake. While shopping around Kitchen Collection I happened upon the Nordic Ware Bundt Cake Keeper which is specially modified to
|

|
accommodate the average sized bundt cake height and diameter! The keeper is made of durable clear plastic and has a 10.5" round base and a twist and lock cover. Not only all of this but the Nordic Ware Bundt Cake Keeper Deluxe comes with a 5 year warranty so if it shatters or breaks you can get it replaced for free!
This cake keeper is carried by Kitchen Collection, one of my favorite resources for kitchen and bakeware because they carry everything you could need for the kitchen at amazing prices that you won’t be able to compete with at any other store! |
