Gadget of the Week- Spaghetti Measure

I'm not saying I'm against gadgets. I love fun kitchen accessories as much as the next foodie. But you have to know where to draw the line, and when to close your wallet. Gadgets appeal to our insecure, shopaholic, lazy sides. Remember, you make the magic, not the gadget. This spaghetti measure with an adjustable ring that rations out 1-4 servings of noodles just seems silly. Come on people. We invented the wheel, created an electric nose hair trimmer, and find our soul mates on the internet daily. We can't figure out how many noodles to cook for two? Seems a little insulting if you ask me...

Gadget of the Week- Citrus Juicer

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and use Chef'n FreshForce juicers to do it! I love these new juicers. They are powerful, efficient, and helpful for keeping seeds out of your food. Plus who doesn't like fun and colorful gadgets in the kitchen? Citrus juice is great to use in cooking because it adds an additional dimension of flavor and depth to your dish. I use lemon juice in almost everything, from soups to sauces, vegetables to seafood and desserts. No need to buy both, just get the larger one which can be used for lemons, limes, and small oranges.
