Cooking Tools
Can Opener
Easy to use and resists rust well. And it has a bottle opener built into it!
Meat Thermometer
A must have! It takes all the guess work out of cooking meat. You’ll never have to worry about under/over cooking meat again.
Spatulas
These have a little nub so you can lay the spatula down without the spoon touching the counter. Meant for all types of food (wooden spatulas shouldn’t be used with meat because you can’t get the bacteria out of it)!
Meat Masher
You can use a spatula, but this makes your life 1000x easier and it’s way more effective.
Mini Spatula
Used for getting things out of 9x13inch dishes like baked mac and cheese, brownies, egg casseroles, and cakes.
Silicone Brush
I use this to brush mustard on salmon, bbq sauce on grilled chicken, extra sauce on grilled meats, and butter on biscuits.
9-Inch Tongs
The absolute best way to toss and serve salads, pastas, and stir frys. And the nylon tops on these prevent scratches on your cookware.
Over the Sink Strainer
So you never have to choose between burning your hand or letting the strainer touch the sink when draining pasta.
Oven Mitt
This has grooves for a better grip. And it’s super easy to clean because it has a water resistant silicone outer layer.
Grill Tools
Everything you need to cook on the grilling, including something to clean it off with.
Grill Baskets
You can move the vegetables around without having them fall through the grill grates!
