@kitchenhacker - You aren't alone! I only count three essential tools there as well. Death to the garlic press! It only does one thing (and unitaskers aren't allowed in my tiny kitchen), and it do...

I am a homebrewer and I almost always have a batch of Apfelwein fermenting alongside my beers. A delicious 5 gallon batch can be made for about $23 worth of ingredients and 10 minutes of prep time ...

To add a little to what juice said. The Ikea GRUNDTAL system is truly amazing. Basically it is a bunch of different racks (spice racks, dish drainer, etc) all designed to hang off the ...

Sounds pretty good, I must try this one!

Thinking about this a little more... Whenever I make a whole batch of cookies, I end up eating way too many in one sitting. If I could make a couple cookies at a time, it would be much...

Genius! I am trying this at some point this weekend!

Going to have to try those scones!

Love the beer, love the Brewery. You want silky, get your hands on Squatters' Captain Bastard's Oatmeal Stout (Salt Lake City, Utah)!

I prefer the chest freezer. Cheaper to operate (and buy), plus it fit in the space under my stairs where an upright wouldn't. If you come up with a good organizing system, it is not ha...

Hope I don't get flamed for this... I like to keep a selection of Yellow Tail on hand for all of the above needs. I am on a fairly limited budget at this point in my life and my wine-l...

I made savory oatmeal last night! I sauteed garlic, onions and spinach (out of mushrooms!), then cooked the oats in 50/50 chicken broth/water with the veggies and salt and pepper.

@ratheartsbikes -- can you share some links to these savory recipes?

@rosebud- I am in Utah. This is the first time I have noticed them at Costco! I like to make a point of carefully walking every food aisle of Costco every couple months so I don't m...

Just Saturday I came home from Costco with a giant bag of steel cut oats! Gotta love 'em! So much better than rolled...

I love my roommate's Magic Bullet, but really only for mixed drinks and the occasional omelet. The food processing applications they show on the infomercial are complete crap, in my experience.

I actually like the look, but I don't think I have any ingredients that I use enough to justify having it out ALL THE TIME. I think I will stick to stacking my canisters in the pantry.

Make dessert pancakes! I used to make chocolate pancakes with fruit and cream on top all the time when I lived overseas with no oven. They are great!

One of my favorite snacks is a big juicy apple and a hunk of good sharp cheddar. Never tried the cheese with the pie though! Guess I have a new mission for thanksgiving this year.

Ridiculous. I am sure it works quite well, but there is no way it would be worth the size and expense. This is the kind of thing that gives Alton Brown nightmares...

I couldn't live without the diner-style squeeze bottles! I have maybe half a dozen of them with Ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce (2-3), teriyaki sauce, etc... they are great! I do most of...
