Kitchen Helpers: Some of the Most Useful Kitchen Equipment

The kitchen is a great place to be these days, especially due to the range of interest that there is nowadays in good, quality cooking due to the range of great television cooking programs and interest in fresh ingredients.
Cooking quality fare is one of the greatest things in life and frankly eating it probably is the best thing in life. The relationship we have with the food we eat sums us up in so many ways on both physical, social and interest levels. For many of us, the kitchen is a great place to be and so here are some great gadgets that can make all the difference when in front of the stove, rustling up a salad or in the throes of experimentation all thanks to Rice Homewares.

The Tomato Press

This item is the best in the world for turning tomatoes into those beautiful and juicy fresh sauces that we eat when on holidays. Unlike the pre-packaged food we get these days, which is often still quite fresh, there is still something special about making your own sauces. The press looks like something you would use for grinding meat and all you do is turn the handle to get the best from the little or large tomatoes. It removes the skin and seeds and allows the pulp to enter the bowl alone, meaning you get fresh quality tomato sauce right from the source.

Herb Keeper

One of the biggest issues for those who love the kitchen is how to keep herbs at their best and a good herb keeper is the key. This gadget from Rice Homewares immerses the herb’s roots in water and allows them to be replenished for weeks and so maintain their strength and also keeps them fresh for a long period of time. As fresh herbs beat dried any day of the week, this is a great gift for those who love the kitchen.

Ginger Grater

One of the greatest of all herbs is ginger. The amazing flavour of this herb is so versatile and can be used in a wide range of foods and drinks. Add to this the fact it is good for your stomach and you need a good grater for it. Ginger graters have sharp teeth and collect ginger when it is grated off them. They are also made from aluminium coated in rust proof materials and so are easy to clean, don’t rust and also are great for resisting bacteria.

Grill

Whether you have an oven or a pan, you need a grill and a good frill can make all the difference to the fat levels in food and health. From Rice Homeware’s stock to the George Foreman health grills to grill racks, these items area must have and allow you to create a range of great foods you may not have been able to before such as stuffed vegetables and kebabs among other things. Fortunately like everything else here they are low in price and make all the difference in the kitchen to those who love cooking.
