I disagree right off the start. The pen whisk is perfect for stirring a corn starch slurry or hot chocolate in a coffee mug.
I use my mini spatula constantly!
I use mini-whisks all the time.
I find all tiny kitchen accessories perfect. , I have many of what I see here, also my 3 qt instant pot I use almost daily. I’m a pressure pot head since I was 19.
No thank you to metal strainers! My nylon ones will NEVER rust!
thank goodness bon appetit collapsed so actual useful shows like atk can rise
👍👍
Chopsticks can be used as whisks and tongs, amongst other usages.
Pampered chefs mini whisk is very nice! Used it for years! ❤
Always sad when Lisa doesn't smack something against a cinderblock, but I'm definitely in the market for a tiny cutting board!! Thank you!!
We replaced all our big chopping board with many smaller ones. They finally fit into the dishwasher and it's rare you actually need a bigger one. Maybe when you cut a hunk of meat.
As someone living in a one bedroom apartment I appreciate this video
TRUMP 2024 👍👍👍👍
Great short video. Entertaining and informative. Cheers.
I’m entirely too high to be watching and loving this as much as I am. Tell us more about these mini whisks you speak of
Edit: No sarcasm meant at all, I’m buying all of these
I always have great luck with Tovolo products.
I'd be a whole lot richer if I didn't watch your videos! 🤣😂
I would add a quarter sheet-pan. Most used pan at my house.
Lol. I bought the first one she picked up and it’s the best ever. Best purchase in a long time.
I’m with you guys on the whisk; I love it! But the Oxo cutting boards are terrible. I got one of each size and they all warped within 2 uses.
Hi, Lisa. It's great to see you again. I love your presentations, so professional and fun at the same time. Thank you!
I got a mini-whisk for free, of the second type. It’s fine.
Can you please consider reviewing plant milk making machines? There’s so many on the market and I only trust your reviews. 😩
WHAT ??? No nut seed puller ? Screw like a wine cork bottle opener. Implant and screw into the nut seed. Put both feet on olive, cherry, peach, apricot, plum, … and pull out the seed (especially good with freestone peaches …).
$25 for the strainer.Where are the less expensive runner ups? Adam most always has them.
What is the task that is too small for a normal sized whisk, but too big for a fork?
What is the downside to using a bigger cutting board capable of other tasks?
Tea strainer is great though.
Thanks for these reviews.
Very helpful!
Can you please review mini rubber spatulas. Thank you
I just love you all! I just today set up my brand new Zojirushi hybrid water boiling/warmer thingy. It is such a nice luxury…I have disabilities with my hands, and this is going to make my life so much easier! Thanks for the recommendation.🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🤗🤗💋
This is my birthday gift to myself.
Running out of relevant topics?
By the way, I bought the set of mini utensils for my camper, but liked using them so much I moved them into my house kitchen seven years ago.
I have a whole set of mini utensils, including a spoon, slotted spoon. skinny spatula and several others. I use them a LOT. My small solid wood cutting board was my mom's. It has been in constant use since 1945. I have no idea what kind of wood it is made of, but it isn't warped and only has a few fine splits on the one end that don't interfere with its use. The only care it gets is getting washed with the regular dishes and air dried. I haven't gotten sick yet from chopping everything on it, – veggies, fruit, poultry, etc.
What are urbs?
Thank for the info! Please add the prices as well.
What is it with oxo good-grips? They appear to constantly get the designs right
Don't buy junk you don't need, people.
Mini rubber/silicone spatulas and spoons are super useful, too.
I find putting a thin towel or pot holder under a plastic cutting board keeps it from sliding around. Adding just a little sprinkle of moisture to the cloth makes a big difference. (Just don't do it to anything you plan to use to hold something hot. Steam hurts.)
Next up. Tools for scraping the bottom of the barrel .
I WAS UNPREPARED FOR LISA'S FLAWLESS LIP AND LEWK TODAY!!!! I had to watch the video twice!
Given all that is showing up in the news about micro plastics, I wish you would include ecological impact in your recommendations.
جميل 👍👍👍
Where's the Freakishly Small Wooden Spoon? No kitchen is complete without one!
I guess she never heard of putting a wet towel under a slippery board🤷
Sooo, I must go by ANOTHER board with rubber grips $$$$$$!!!
The issue with the OXO cutting boards, they warp if they go through the dishwasher, then they are no longer stable. Nope.
