I have a few favorite cooking gadgets in my kitchen. I have a few others that I thought were incredibly cool and turned out to really be useless to me and ended up in a free box at a garage sale. But this little dandy is not in the free box. No, no this is my favorite little item - the Kitchen Scraper.
Yes my handy-dandy Pampered Chef scraper is something I really love. In fact my old one got lost by a little person so I spent way too much on shipping to buy another off of ebay. This little tool is so helpful in cleaning up messes, especially if you are baking and using flour. I have had times when I didn't bake something specifically because I hated the mess caused by the flour and the cleanup of it. I hated how the flour would turn into goo when hit by your kitchen sponge or rag. It was gross, ruined my sponge, and there were always spots I missed due to the flour turning to glue and sticking to my counter. My scraper makes cleanup so easy. All I do now is bring my garbage can to the edge and scrape the flour leftovers in the can. Presto, my counter is clean without a goo mess! Next to my pastry tool, this is my must-have for baking. I'm sure that kitchen stores sell a generic version of this, but I personally love the Pampered Chef one. Happy baking! Janelle

Here is a newbie for me to try out - Kitchen Tips Tuesdays. I love these daily idea sharing things. I hope to host one myself one of these days. Anyhow my kitchen Tip for today is dealing with not having a garbage disposal. We haven't had one for years and my husband would become frustrated with clogs. As hard has I would try, food would still end up down the drain. I ended up finding some wire filters to fit my drain. I think I got them at Home Depot, but I'm willing to bet most kitchen supply stores would carry them. They work great. They catch the smallest amounts of food and I simply give them a good whack on the inside of the garbage can and they empty out. I wash them periodically in the dishwasher too. I liked them so much I got another one for the bathroom sink, which has stopped hair from going down as well as cotton balls that my son shoved down in there once before.
