Yum's November Must Haves

YumSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 07:01:11 -0700

There's no way around it, November means Thanksgiving. Whether you're prepping your own meal, or headed over to someone else's house, you will definitely find something on our list of must haves.

To start things off, we've got the Willie Bird Fresh Organic Turkey ($65-$85). It's raised on natural grains and vegetables in Sonoma County, California. In addition to being organic and free-range, it has a clean turkey flavor.
Once you get a fabulous turkey, you're going to need a large roaster to cook it in. This Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Roaster with V-Rack ($99.95) is sleek and contains an aluminum core for superb heat conductivity. It's large enough for a 25lb turkey and the rack is non-stick.
If you're looking to take the leap from mashed potatoes to thinly-sliced gratin, then you're going to need a slicer or mandoline. This Zyliss 4-In-1 Multi Slicer/Grater ($19.95) will make slicing and grating a breeze!
Need a great way to get the conversation started? These TableTopics Conversation Starters will help you break the ice. Each set of conversation starting questions will help maneuver through those awkward party moments. They're perfect for the host, and great for a guest to bring as well.
Finally, an important Thanksgiving must have is this Multi-Time Triple Timer ($14.99). With three display monitors, you can easily set and keep track of three items at once.

You headed off to market in search of a durable, functional pizza slicer with sharp blades that will easily and smoothly slice through thick dough. You bookmarked your finds in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Pizza Slicer. I love this simple, classic, black slicer that jopperma saved.

Pizza Pro Slicer: Love It or Hate It?

partysugar — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:00:11 -0700

The first thing I thought when I came across this Pizza Pro pizza slicer ($19.99) was genius!

Then I imagined using it. The scissored spatula looks like it might be difficult to maneuver. Also, what happens when you prefer a larger piece of pizza? Or when it comes time to wash it?

Still, it's an interestingly designed product. Has anyone tried it?

Off To Market Recap: Pie Slicer

An overlooked yet incredibly important kitchen tool is the pie slicer. I always forget I need one until it's time to slice the pie and end up doing a sloppy job with the nearest knife. To ensure that I have beautiful slices of pie this holiday season, I asked you to find the perfect one. You looked for a pie slicer that is fun and festive, but durable and dishwasher safe. You saved your discoveries in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Pie Slicer. The high heel shaped slicer is adorable, but the one that caught my eye was this pink handled slicer. It's musical and can play three different songs. How cool is that? Amazing find mamaseacat!

Banana Slicer: Love It or Hate It?

partysugar — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 01:18:55 -0700

I think bananas are the most relaxing of fruits and I like to eat one everyday of every season. As much as I love bananas, I don't understand the point of this banana slicer. Unless one plans on making a massive amount of banana splits, why on earth would you need a banana slicer? I see the benefits of using it to add banana to your morning bowl of cereal, but is the amount of time saved really more than the amount of time it will take to wash the slicer by hand? I doubt it. What do you think?

Simple Tip: Make Your Egg Slicer a Multi-Tasker, Part 2

partysugar — Thu, 24 May 2007 14:35:11 -0700

A couple of weeks ago YumSugar pointed out that you can use an egg slicer to cut more than just a perfectly hard boiled egg. She recommended using it for slicing strawberries or mushrooms, but forgot to mention my favorite use for this wonderful multi-tasking tool: cutting fresh mozzarella for caprese salads. Fresh mozzarella is quite soft, making it difficult to slice with a knife, but with an egg slicer all you have to do is separate the cheese into pieces.

Simple Tip: Make Your Egg Slicer a Multi-Tasker

YumSugar — Fri, 11 May 2007 10:01:10 -0700

Here's a tip I picked up a long time ago - you've probably already seen it, but I thought I'd pass it along just in case. If you happen to have an egg slicer in your mix of kitchen contraptions, you can now move it from uni-tasker to multi-tasker. Not only are egg slicers perfect for creating uniform strips of egg, but they work well on mushrooms and strawberries too. Now you can have sliced strawberries for your spinach and strawberry salad in no time.
