Essential Tools for Gourmet Cooking

Eating well is one of life’s pleasures and having the proper tools to cook delicious meals removes a lot of the work involved. A Kitchenaid food processor is one of those tools and with the right parts and attachments, it can reduce the time and labor involved in gourmet cooking.

Food Processors

Food processors like the Kitchenaid one are capable of grinding just about anything edible. So whether you want to make your own bread by grinding wheat berries or making a luscious dessert, this appliance makes short work of it. Depending on the model you choose, this appliance gives you a choice of blades and bowls that make quick work of any chore that involves grinding, slicing or incorporating air.

Mixers

Another indispensable small appliance for the gourmet kitchen is a stand mixer, especially those that come with beater options that let you make stiff dough, whip meringues, or simply whip up cake batter. The difference between homemade bread and cakes are significant, and the best part of making your own is that you know precisely what’s inside them.

It’s also useful to have a hand mixer to beat food that you have to stir as it cooks, like cream puff batter, white sauces or for candy making. Consider what you’ll be using the mixer for before selecting it. If you plan to make stiff batters, select a hand mixer with a powerful motor rather than a light-weight unit.

Setting up your Yard Sale

Having a yard sale can be a challenging, yet incredibly rewarding experience. While it’s easy to cling to items of our past, getting rid of the clutter can give us a fresh start and a cleaner and more organized house. One of the most difficult parts of putting together a yard sale is deciding what stays and what goes. Some things may just need a replacement part, such as a Kitchenaid food processor, Maglite bulb, or wick for your Zippo lighter. Here are some great tips to get you started on your yard sale and help to make it a success.

Weeding out the things you don’t need

The best approach to finding your yard sale inventory is to go through everything and ask yourself a few questions. Have I used this item in the past few years? Will I use this item in the future? Yes, it might be your wedding china, but if you haven’t pulled it out since the wedding to use it at least once a year— is it worth keeping? Go through boxes, shelves, cabinets, attics and garages to find items that haven’t been utilized. A few items might be exceptions. Other than coveted items in need of a little repair, most items that aren’t used should be placed for sale. If you find yourself clinging, try taking a picture. Many find it easier to let go of something they have a tangible memory of.

Believe it or not the holiday season is coming up fast, and soon the beautiful fall foliage and jack-o-lanterns will be replaced with snow, cold winds and Christmas lights. Although the holiday season is often a very joyous time, for those living in the north or other areas that experience snow, wintertime can mean a lot of cold, harsh weather that causes power outages or icy roads that prevent loved ones from gathering together.
