Good evening! Welcome to my blog! My name is Jeanette Paradis. I am writing this entry to share my own top 5 favorite kitchen tools. Plus a couple of bonus items! :)
As I gathered my favorite items to photograph this evening, I realized something... they are ALL Pampered Chef items! I was a consultant from early 2008 through 2011. My daughter stopped napping somewhere in there and I was about to take over leading our local MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group and something had to give! So I wrapped up my consultant years and came away with some great friendships and a kitchen stocked FULL of excellent tools that I have used on a daily basis ever since!
I began cooking MUCH differently in September of 2013. During my Pampered Chef era, many of my recipes were based on crescent rolls that came out of a tube! You sure can do a lost of tasty things with that item. However, the crescent rolls tube is no longer to be found in my kitchen! We are much more into "whole foods" and clean eating these days! I became a Team Beachbody coach in March of 2014. I do appreciate my favorite tools just as much as ever as I now spend plenty of quality time in my kitchen.
Here we go! My Top 5 favorite Kitchen Tools:
Oh how I love my stoneware!!! I use this 15.5x10 Large Bar Pan ALL THE TIME! I also use my 9x13 baker and Deep Dish 9" pie plate on a regular basis. I so appreciate that stoneware bakes so evenly, is easy to clean and requires no surface prep for the majority of what I bake on it. Everything from roasting veggies to baking an apple pie, stoneware is the best!
My Batter Bowls!!! Three cheers for these two! They also have lids. :) But what I appreciate the most about them is the fact that I can hold on to the handle while mixing. I also LOVE the pour spout! It is so easy to scrape the contoured sides of these bowls. My five year old son cooks with me on a regular basis and my Batter Bowls are so helpful for him! See this bowl in action from an evening where we were making Pumpkin Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I use this pot so very often! It is SO convenient to begin a recipe on the stove-top and then have the ability to transition the entire pot right to the oven! I make soup on a regular basis and this pot is perfect for that endeavor! Here is a day where we made more soup than ever! This blog entry also links to a favorite soup recipe of ours, which is actually found on my sister's blog! Check out Soup times 16!!
The Food Chopper!! This may be one of the first Pampered Chef classics!! This thing is fantastic! We use it most often for nuts when making our favorite granola recipe. I also use my Food Chopper for onions and other veggies. See the entire product description here.
Do you have one of these spatula scrapers in your own kitchen? I use the large and medium scrapers to mix and then scrape the Batter Bowl soooooo easily! These things are super-durable! They can also be used when cooking on the stove-top. Mine have withstood some heavy-duty usage and I would be lost without them!
Okay... so we did already have my Top 5 items listed above! So this is your bonus! I am such a fan of these Stackable Cooling Racks and my Stainless Scoops! The medium scoop is 2 tablespoons and I use it EVERY time I make cookies. The cooling racks have legs that collapse and you can also stack them! I so appreciate the grid design and how that offers much better support of warm cookies as opposed to a standard rack that just has skinny little rows. Now the holiday baking can begin!!

Relatives and colleagues will speak up if their juicer has something they hate about it and you won't have to rely on paid reviews funded by the manufacturer. Whichever orange juicer machine you choose though, keep in mind that it won't heal every health problem though, you will have to use it as a part of a balanced diet.Lemon Squeezer, ALU, Yellow Green
