Essential Kitchen Tools

Mandoline

This simple handheld tool speeds up prep work by a lot. I use mine for evenly and thinly slicing onions so that they're more palatable, and all different fruits and vegetables to get great texture in dishes. I particularly love using my mandoline to slice vegetables for pizza toppings. You can also slice up salami and cheese for great presentation. It's not as bulky as some of the other mandolines on the market, and it's a cinch to clean.

I love my mesh strainer for sifting dry ingredients for baking, especially since my cocoa always seems to get clumpy pretty quickly.

I was inspired by this post and busted out my mandoline this morning! I actually have the exact same one that's pictured. It's great!

Microplane and mason jars for sure! I would add in my Le Cruset as well.

I have most of those items, but a microplane and a mandoline are definitely on my wish list!
