Kitchen Equipment for Great Home Cooking
Small Kitchen Appliances

Not too long ago, a hand-cranked meat grinder was a common sight in most kitchens (along with egg beaters and ice boxes!). If you're too young to remember those days, you probably wonder how our mothers, grandmothers (or great-grandmothers) got along without a food processor—or even a blender or an electric mixer. They did just fine, but there's no need for today's busy cook to “have to” spend a lot of time hand chopping, grinding and whipping when a machine will do the work—often more proficiently—in minutes. Although you could get by without any of them, owning these appliances has been a true source of comfort for me. These items surely will help you make the most of the time spent in your kitchen.
