Laura Parker
One of my favorite tools for cooking is my OXO salad spinner, I use it for more than just making salads. It comes in handy when I need a small strainer or sieve when washing other fruits or veggies like strawberries or blueberries... I just love the time it saves me & am thankful I have one. I can even store things in it in the fridge.

oooh! I love my salad spinner, what a great idea. I got one for Christmas a few years ago and it is so handy. Great usage too, thank you for sharing Laura!

Michael Chapman
We’re remodeling our kitchen and have been without a stove for almost a month. In addition, my grill took a dive. So I’m left with a microwave, slow cooker, and a pressure cooker. The pressure cooker has saved the day! It’s so versatile! It can be used for sautéeing, slow cooking and of course, it makes for a quick dinner.
Bowl Me Over
I was without an oven from Thanksgiving past New Years last year - I totally agree with you Michael - the pressure cooker is a life/time saver!
Laura
I love gifting spatulas and double sided magnetic measuring spoons!!
Bowl Me Over
Agreed, you can never have too many huh? GREAT idea!!
