Do you own cool kitchen gadgets?What are they?

Hi friends,

read all the mails posted . i too have a similar prob like which FP to buy. some of my friends say FP is of no use in indian cooking like grinding batter for idlis /dosas .they say its only good at chopping and grating. is it true ?does anyone faced such problem.
which is the best brand to buy? waiting for all ur fb.

FP is not of much use if you are comfortable using hands for kneading.
Not all vegis can be cut in our Indian style for cooking. Cabbage, onion etc can be chopped finely in FP. For coconut you have use dry coconut or remove the coconut pieces then grate. Juicer is useful (as though it's best to have fruits fresh as such). I used to do these(grating, juice) using mixie earlier - not much of difference

My preethi mixie is my favourite kitchen gadget..Being a vegiee i would have found tough time to prepare breakfast and chutneys without a mixer.

Hi ,

my preethi juicer whiuch is very useful for the exraction of coconut milk & other juices,,

my dough kneader [manual],,,,,

Please note that our CHITVISH has a thread for electric gadgets and non electric gadgets used for kitchen. She has posted the photos as well and she has used the FP, for many things and pics show how. please go thru... when you get time,,,!!!!!!!!!

god bless,

My favorite recent addition is Presto Salad Shooter/slicer (posted in chitvish's gadget thread). My DH uses it and swears by it.

Other than that my fav electric ones that I use are,

Preeti mixie - use it almost every other day for grinding chutneys, making podis, adai or pesarattu batter, grinding for kootu/kuzhambu.

Ultra grind - grind dosa/idli batter

Cuisnart FP - for huge amount shredding, slicing, kneading chapathi or poori atta

Non-electric ones are:

Wire whisk - everyday for making kanji (porridge)
manual grater - for grating ginger for tea
Mortar & Pestle - for pounding fresh pepper, ginger, cardamom etc

These gadgets have made my life little easy otherwise....whoof can't imagine.
