Re: [Carron] What Is Your Favorite Mexican Kitchen Gadget?

Can't Post |

I've collected all of the Mexican cooking utensils, but, to be truthful, beyond the wooden spoons, which are pretty generic anyway, I almost always reach for something that came from Williams-Sonoma, Chef's Catalog or Sur la Table. If I'm only going to use one lime, I squeeze it with my hand; more than one lime requires getting out the electric juicer. My favorite knife is Japanese, the knife sharpener Chef's Choice, and most of the pots and pans French or German. The George Foreman grill is great for toasting chiles. My idea of cooking rice is to get out one of the Japanese rice steamers. I'm enamored with my cast iron meat pounder, like Mexican butchers have, but the truth is that I bought it at a place outside of the Egyptian Bazaar in Istanbul and have never used it. All right, I'll name my favorite Mexican kitchen implement: the pressure cooker. Second only to the telephone, for making reservations.
