Peugeot is a French company that has been making pepper mills since 1874 and trust me they know what

they are doing.

​

This particular style the Paris u’Select has a mechanism that allows you to choose the size of the grind you want to use. This versatility helps bring out the pepper's flavor and that really enhances the taste of your food. 

​

To be honest, I wouldn't cook without my Peugeot. And since I like it so much I purchased one for everyone

in my family. 

There is nothing better than a good quality pan.

​

Sheet-pans need to be heavy enough so they do not warp when they get hot. These pans made by Nordic Ware Aluminum pans are strong and durable.

This size is a half sheet and perfect for your oven. 

17.88” x 12.88 x 1.06 exterior pan size

16.5” x 11.38” x 1” interior pan size

Made in USA

​

I love these heavy-duty measuring cups and spoons. They are strong, well constructed, and will last a lifetime. 

The straight edge of the cup is perfect to push dough

or crumbs into the corner of a pan. It is also great

when I need to crush nuts.

Include are 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1 cup

1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1/2 tbsp, 1 tbsp

Set of 3 - 1 cup, 2 cups, and 4 cups 

​

I like to cook so really like having all three of these sizes ready to use when I need them. It isn't because I really need them but because I find it easier to not have to wash them when I’m measuring different ingredients.

I also really like to have them available when I prep before I start cooking. Everything is measured and laid out in front of me and ready to go. 

​

​

​

I don't think you can ever have too many bowls. 

​

The assortment of sizes are great and so useful.

I not only use them for prepping, I use them to serve salads, fruit, and anything that I think will look better displayed in glass. 

​

The fact that they are Duralex, as I've mentioned, and great quality is a huge plus when you buy glass. 

​

Over the last few years, I have been transitioning from plastic to glass. I like that glass is not absorbant and that I can wash it at high temperatures without worrying.  

I find this tool essential in my kitchen! 

​

It makes prepping vegetables so much easier.

Cutting potato slices for a gratin dauphinoise is so easy with a mandolin, or apple slices for a French apple tart.

You'll be thrilled with all the blades that this mandoline comes with. And equally as important, because the blades are very sharp I like the way they are stored making it safe to put away without fear of getting cut.

I love my zester! 

​

But it isn't perfect. Its shape actually makes it hard to get the zest off the tool.

What I like about this particular zester is the openness of the design makes it much easier for the ingredients to fall off and to clean.

That isn’t a huge deal but a nice adjustment.

​

I love my emersion blender! 

I use it for everything that needs blending. Such as soups, sauces, drinks you name it. Sauces have become easy to make with the invention of the emersion blender.

​

Since I bought mine they have come out with cordless ones. Honestly, I don't think you need that, I have a plug near my stove and I've never had a problem. 

​

There is no question that I consider my emersion blender to be an essential kitchen tool that I wouldn't give up. 

I can't have enough of these stackable prep bowls in

my kitchen.

​

Getting everything that needs to be chopped and prepared before starting to cook, is called mis en place and these bowls make this task really easy.

You can use these bowls for a multitude of other things I promise you'll love having at your disposal.  

​

​

These stackable bowls are made by Duralex a French company that has been making glassware since 1939. I'm a huge fan of their quality. 

​

They are strong, durable, and manufactured to withstand sudden temperature extremes from -4 Degree to 266 Degree making them perfect for hot and cold liquids. They are made of tempered glass and are stronger than other glassware. 

They are freezer, microwave & dishwasher safe and can go directly from the freezer to the microwave.​

I use the pestle with my mezzaluna and bowl. 

​

I find it to be the perfect combination of tools to create herb and spice combinations. 

​

Crush garlic, pulverize seeds, create pastes, everything you would do in small food processors but these 3 tools, give you much more control and flexibility.  

​

​

​

​

This rounded blade is called a Mezzaluna and combined with the curved bowl is a wonderful tool. 

​

I use it to chop, crush and grind herbs and spices. 

I combine this with the wooden pestle and I have a tool combination that I use all the time. I find this more practical than my mortar and pestle 

​

Use it to chop garlic and herbs, add kosher salt and use the pestle to create a paste to season your food. 

​

​

This one tool can make cooking a lot easier!

Sharp knives are not only safer to use but they make all the slicing, chopping, and dicing easy.

That may not seem like it is really important but I promise you'll be thrilled. 

All you need to do is sharpen your knives regularly and you'll discover a big difference when your knife slides through that tomato or those onions without resistance you'll wonder why you didn't sharpen your knives before. 

I like the fact that the handle of this sharpener is easy to hold while you use the coarse and then the fine sharpeners. 

​

Cast iron pans are essential kitchen tools that last forever. If you are not lucky enough to have one that was passed down to you, you can buy your own from the Lodge Cast Iron Company (made in the USA since 1896).  

I find the 12" skillet to be a perfect size. 

The good news is that they come pre-seasoned with instructions on how to care for them—it isn't hard. They come with a red silicone handle holder.  

Years ago, I was given a cast iron square pan as a housewarming gift and I have to say it was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten.  

You can't go wrong with a cast-iron skillet.

​

I’d never thought I would need a kitchen scale—but I was wrong. It's amazingly useful. Weighing ingredients when you bake is really the only way to get accurate measurements. You no longer need to worry about converting grams to ounces the scale does it for you. 

I do a lot of cooking that I freeze and the scale is a great way to divide portions equally. 

​

This Escali Primo P115C precision kitchen scale 

has an LCD digital display, weighs up to 11 pounds, and runs on 2 AA batteries.

If you want to add a bit of color to your kitchen the scale comes in a multitude of choices.
