Welcome to a new series about the stuff I have in my kitchen that I can't live without. My favorite tools and appliances and why I love them...
This week I will be talking about the top 3 multi-purpose tools that I use the most!
At the top of the list: {ice cream scoops}
I have two sizes of ice cream scoops: 1 Tbsp and standard 1/2 cup scoop. I use one or the other of them (sometimes both) several times a week depending on what is on the menu. Both have a sweeper arm that helps the contents slide right out - probably my favorite feature besides the convenient size because it makes your work fast and easy plus you don't get your spatula or spoon dirty scraping out a measuring cup or spoon.
The small one is perfect for making:
* cookies
* meatballs
* cake pops
* melon balls
* mini muffins
* mini brownies
* coring halved pears or apples
* removing the pit from peaches
* measuring honey or molasses --- the sweeper arm is key! No more waiting for it to drip - drip - drip
The large one (you probably have one already) is perfect for:
* muffins
* pancakes
* measuring out 1/2 cup portions of just about anything
- yogurt
- oatmeal
- mashed potatoes
- vegetables
- diced fruit or berries
- pudding
- ice cream (of course)
