I love pineapple you are officially my new best friend. Thanks heaps.
Have the dressing container, it's disappointing. Dressing collects, coagulates and mucks up around the spout. Was dreaming of olive oil dressing on the ready, but between herbs and sometimes dairy, I can't leave on the counter, and EVOO solidifies in the fridge. Strike out all around.
The pineapple cutter is too wasteful and cutting by hand is very easy.
Yes piggy steamer cute. But so hot when trying to get it off mug or cup or bowl.
#1 pint Mason jar. #2 sharp slicing knife. #3 bowl and paper towel. #4 sharp knife. #5 colander. FREE
Where's The Chef's Pal ?
It's a grater, dicer, peeler, all in one!
Never needs sharpening.
Dishwasher-safe.
Only $9.99
😱🙏🏻
Your description of the pineapple slicer was a bit misleading. Your "crank it down" obviously required a fair amount of effort not shown in the video.
What the what? Amazon won't ship that mini colander to me. 🙄
That colander looks fantastic I want it
Excellent!! Love the ideas and products! Thanks.
Good to know
I just tried the link for the mini colander and it brought me to a listing for $40 🙁 I tried searching for it but couldn't find the same one.
I love the pineapple thing, had mine for years. I still cut some pineapple off the skin if it's a wide pineapple but otherwise its great. Love to use out when Lidl our Aldi have their 99c pineapples!
why you gotta rush lisa? let her take her time, damn you. she is worth it!
Hello, great gadgets
what no vegematic?
Can you pls recommend a silicone coated wire whisk , or a firm/sturdy silicone whisk. Thanks
The colander link was for something mustard and $30+. Where do we buy the one shown? On Amazon, I could only find a $7 knock-off. Thanks, Linda
I can co-sign on the piggy steamer. I have one and our family uses it every single day. Microwaving anything is quicker and easier and comes out more evenly with it. It prevents microwave splatter and is very easy to clean. Had one for maybe 2 years now and as someone who hates "stuff" in the kitchen, I would consider this to be essential.
i would like to know about the best induction skillets please Lisa
Be sure that, when you shake the OXO salad dressing shaker, the pouring spout is closed! Someone at our table decided to be nice an leave the spout open for the next person. The next person found it necessary to reshake the jar!! What a mess!!!
We ordered the whole set of Piggy Steamers! Love them!
I tried the kyocera mandolin . Didn't like it. the hand guard did not hold the veggies firmly . the blade did not seem sharp . not much different between 1 – 4 settings. Glad I only paid $20+ for it. Not going to return but will give to resale shop. Odd because ATK is one of my favorite shows and I usually like the products they recommend. this is the first one I did not like
I want them all but that pineapple slicer has my mouth watering!
I bought the pineapple slicer but only used it a couple of times. It wastes too much because the diameter is sized for smaller pineapples.
Lovely video, but still waiting on the new generation review of non stick eco friendly pots and pans 😁
Fabulous💞💞💞
That 🍍 instrument is a game changer!! Luv the suggestions..it is going to be 🏊♀️ season and we are going out
Lisa !
Those 5 gadgets were AWESOME. I will be looking for them to purchase.
love lisa
