Off to Market: Slotted Spoon
In the January issue of Bon Appétit magazine there's a recipe for homemade, fresh ricotta that I'm dying to try. Although the recipe only calls for three simple ingredients, it requires several cooking utensils. One of them is a good slotted spoon.

Off to Market Recap: Spoon Rests

Off to Market: Spoon Rests
I am a bit of a slob in the kitchen, so at least every other week, I find myself wiping down a sauce-spattered cooking range. I couldn't live without my spoon rest, but it's a bit basic and blah, and I'm thinking of getting another one with more flair. Have you seen any choice picks?
Off to Market: Pizza Slicer
Although Father's Day is a month away, I want to get my dad a new pizza slicer. His pizza cutter is lost and he can't stop wondering where it is. Let's head off to market in search of a new pizza slicer for dad.
Party Foul: No Serving Spoons
Recently I went to a wine tasting where there was a huge platter of lamb with no serving spoon. The lamb — which had a succulent red wine sauce — was sliced into small bite-sized pieces and served warm in a caterer's pan. Like not having enough eating utensils, not having the proper serving tools at a party is not okay.
Off to Market Recap: New Whisk
A wire whisk is one of my favorite kitchen tools because it's incredibly versatile, necessary, and makes all sorts of delicious things. Recently I've noticed a growing trend in alternative whisk styles, so I asked you to help me bookmark them in the Yum Market on TeamSugar. You looked for whisks that are functional and made from a variety of materials.
Party Foul: Not Enough Utensils
I recently attended a small potluck dinner at a girlfriend's house. Seven of us were in attendance, yet only four forks could be found in the kitchen!
I didn't say anything when I helped serve the Champagne in a martini glass, a beer mug, and a mix of random wine glasses.
Off to Market Recap: Spatula
While recently cooking in my parents' kitchen, I couldn't find a suitable spatula. All of their spatulas were old, burnt, or too stiff. To remedy the solution, I asked you to help me get them a new spatula.

Last week I found myself baking in my parents' kitchen. To my horror, I couldn't find a suitable spatula. All of their spatulas were old, burnt, or too stiff.
