The Must Haves

by  Chef Ouattara on December 26, 2009
CN-essentials
  1. Paper Loaf Pans
    These cute paper loaf pans allow you to take your bread straight from the oven to the table. Or bake your bread right in the pan, wrap a bow around it, and you have a wonderful edible gift. Best of all, the pans themselves are grease proof and there is no need empty or wash them. They are made in recyclable paper and can be heated up to 450 degrees. At $0.50 per pan we would say that the price was just right too. www.surlatable.com.
  2. Serveware by B. Smith
    Having the right serveware can seem like half the battle when entertaining. With B. Smith’s line of specialty servers, having guests over for dinner just got easier. The Chip and Dip 3-pc Serving Set, 7-pc Multi Server and 2-Tier Porcelain Server are perfect as gifts or as part of your own entertaining collection. Available exclusively at Bed Bath & Beyond. Purchase price is $29.99 and $39.99. www.bedbathandbeyond.com.
  3. Spreadable Olive Oils
    Created using all natural ingredients, these spreadable olive oils add flavor to your favorite breads, pastas, or even fish! Gives food a whole new flavor and can store in the fridge or on the tabletop. Comes in a variety of flavors including truffle oil! Purchase price is $19-$80. www.napastyle.com.
  4. Progressive Adjustable Pit & Split
    Want to make a fresh apple pie from scratch but hate all the time it takes to pit and chop? You will never have that issue again thanks to this new Pit & Split from Sur La Table. This patent pending design is extra sharp and comes with adjustable blades that make for easy coring and pitting. Perfect for also coring other fruits such as peaches and pears. Purchase price is $10.00. www.surlatable.com.
  5. Lemon Squeezer
    Updated for the modern kitchen, this little gadget just made juicing fun again! Whether you are squeezing a lemon or juicing an orange, the Lemon Squeezer takes the headache out of creating that fresh cup of lemonade. Designed with a unique form and made from durable stainless steel, this helpful tool is a great addition to any kitchen. Purchase price is $15.50. www.puremodern.com.
