Find Salad Utensils That Work
Having the right salad tools and equipment makes cooking easier and safer. Cooking can be frustrating and tiring without the right kitchen tools. Invest in a few basic salad utensils and then add specialty kitchen items as needed.
- Salad spinners clean your greens quickly and easily. They also dry your greens more quickly and efficiently. The dryer the lettuce and other greens, the more oil-based dressings will adhere to them.
- Colanders and strainers are common kitchen tools that often get mixed up. Colanders have large holes in the base for rinsing fruits and vegetables or draining pasta. Strainers have mesh baskets that are used for separating solids from liquids.
- Graters are a must-have item. Use them to shred vegetables, cheese, and spices. Grating saves time and is much easier than cutting. Rotary graters make fast work of grating hard cheeses like Parmesan and Pecorino Romano. They can also shred nuts and chocolate bars. Mini graters and zesters are helpful when zesting citrus peels and grating ginger and other spices.
- Kitchen shears are often overlooked but are incredibly useful to own. Shears can do the obvious tasks like snipping herbs and opening food packaging, but they can also separate a chicken, trim pie dough and crack nuts and shellfish.
- Specialized peelers easily remove the skin from fruits and vegetables. Depending on your level of skill, peelers are typically safer and more effective than a paring knife.
- Mash potatoes, avocadoes and other soft foods with a masher. For perfect guacamole, get the three-in-one Williams Sonoma Avocado Pitter & Masher that removes the pit, scoops out the flesh and mashes it to the right texture.
Improve Your Culinary Skills
As you get more comfortable in the kitchen and want to try more specialized dishes, you'll need more specialty tools.
- Grill masters will need grill tools such as tongs, spatula, meat fork and basting brush. Prep trays separate raw and cooked food to prevent cross contamination. A thermometer ensures you've cooked the mean to the right temperature.
- Create delicious seafood dishes with the right seafood tools. Oyster knives shuck and prepare oysters with ease. Pop them in a specialized oyster pan and grill to perfection. Seafood crackers and forks are essential when serving lobster and crab. Find individual or sets of crackers and forks so everyone at the table has their own to use.
