BeeLadyPost Your Kitchen Hero
During the last 2 years of being at home, we are all cooking more.
I know that there are some tools I use that are the best no matter what...
So post your fav kitchen item.
Here is mine..Many years of homemade mac and cheese and black bean chili were made in this Dansk dutch oven..I just made cabbage/potato curry in it this week...It was a wedding gift 30 years ago, now stained and chipped but still a staple in my kitchen.
What is your staple tool in your kitchen?

jon-nycYou win, Joe!
Mine is probably the meat thermometer, one of the pricey Thermapens. I've gotten more serious about not overcooking fish and it's made a yummy difference.

Steve MillerMy Mom owned an enameled casserole like that one. Dansk? Hers was turquoise. My sister still uses it.
I learned to cook with one. Try the porcupine balls - delicious!
Here’s a recipe.

Steve MillerOh yeah. The sous vide stick is a game changer!
Try a tough eye of round for like 12 hours to make French dips. Outstanding!
Have you bought a food saver yet? I re-package bulk packs for sous vide, including herbs and such so I can just take them from the freezer and drop them in the bath.

Simple au jusI use home made stock. You may want to add some Better than Bullion if the boxed stock you use is a bit weak.
