Crockpot Cooking

You may have noticed that I have a little bit of love for my crockpot. It's a Hamilton Beach crock pot, and it's a good crockpot that is reasonably priced and holds a good deal of food. I frequently make whole chickens in it, and that says a lot to what it can hold!

For our little family of 4, a 6 quart stockpot is the perfect size. It allows us to cook a whole chicken or cook a dish that will feed us all an leave us with a good amount of left overs, too.

You certainly get a lot for the money, and it's easy to transport if you need to make a dish to take somewhere. I love that it's easy to clean and easy to transport. If you're in the market for a crockpot, check out the  Hamilton Beach Slow Cookers selection at Amazon.com!

KitchenAid Zester

Since I am in the kitchen a lot, and have been a good chunk of my life, I figured I should let you guys see what all I use. Some of the items are desperately in need of replacement, some aren't. Some are used occasionally, some are used frequently. My KitchenAid Zester is one of those frequently used items.

I know that may sound surprising, but I've found it useful for all sorts of things, including grating a tiny bit of ginger root. I have used my zester for 7 years now, and there isn't a single problem with it. It's sharp as can be has no pitting, has no rust... it's stellar. I've zested many lemons, limes, oranges, and used it for grating, and it's never disappointed. I must say that it is one of my favourite small purchases for the kitchen. The quality doesn't disappoint.
