I'm a sucker when it comes to kitchen tools and gadgets. Some are a triumph of form over substance, but some neat little kitchen tools are both cool and functional. Here's a list of 8 great stocking stuffers for the healthy cook in your house. If that person happens to be you, send this list to family and friends.
It's all too easy to lose track of when you opened a carton of milk or how long your leftovers have been lingering in the refrigerator. Attach and set one of these day timers to the food in question, and end the uncertainty of how many days have passed since you made that tuna salad or opened that fat-free half and half.
These are just too cute to resist. These miniature Le Creuset casseroles are lovely for display, but also make nice serving dishes for warm dips, salsas and one-serving desserts.
My drawers are chock-full of kitchen tools, so it would be nice to have some items that store completely flat. These colorful, collapsible, silicone measuring cups fit the bill.
This handy peeler comes with three blades: one for soft items like tomatoes, one for hard foods such as potatoes and carrots, and a julienne blade to help make your salad veggies look fancy.
Some kitchen gadgets are just plain fun to use. My Oxo salad spinner comes to mind. Well here's another fun gadget, a garlic chopper that you run back and forth like a motorized toy car. You have to have one.
So it doesn't quite fit into a stocking, but this EatingWell wall calendar, published by EatingWell magazine, is a great small gift for healthy cooks. Filled with tips, suggestions and inspirational quotes, this colorful calendar will make a great addition to any kitchen wall.
