Using my latest kitchen tools...

I have recently added Pampered Chef Consultant to my roles in my family.  It really fits with our family goals, lifestyle and schedule and I LOVE the products.  I thought I would share some of my favorites.

In this photo I have that Bar Pan... I literally use it EVERY SINGLE DAY for something.  This particular day I am roasting potatoes in it.  I have baked breads, biscuits, scones, etc... on it.  I have cooked fish and chicken on it. It is great for baking bar cookies or brownies.  I simply seasoned it by cooking bacon on it RIGHT IN THE OVEN.  It is a fantastic multi-purpose item that is a staple in my kitchen.

Also shown with it is a PC cutting board, knife and pinch bowl.  I use them daily, too.

The pinch bowls have lids and you can store salt, pepper, and other seasonings that you are working with regularly and then pop that lid on them for easy storage.  If I am in the kitchen working one of these is out and being used.  

This is my new go-to cooking tool... the Deep Covered Baker.  I roast chicken in it, make a pot pie, pumpkin pudding, a variety of other casseroles, roasted tenderloin or beef roasts.  It is a magic pot!  You can even cook pasta dishes in it.  I understand that it can used in oven or microwave but I have only used it in the oven.  It is a bit too large for my microwave but I typically don't use the microwave much anyway.

Here is a chicken I roasted over onion and celery and the broth it made was later used to make a sauce base for my chicken pot pie later in the week.  

I am also using this little multi-purpose bowl that folds down for storing.  I love it so much I will be getting one for our travel trailer.  It is very handy and easily stored in small spaces like a trailer kitchen.  It comes in the three sizes and this is the middle size that I have.  I use it for salads and fruit a lot.

Just some fun tools I use daily around here.  You can click on my Pampered Chef Consultant Logo for information on any or all of these items and order from me right online.

Pizza for Dinner

 It has been some time since I have made a homemade pizza.  The right tools always make it easier so when I got my Pampered Chef kit in the mail I decided to break everything out and test run the new tools.  I am not one to use a lot of single use uni-taskers so I was hoping that these items would serve a multitude of tasks.  To my delight they certainly do...

My new Simple Slicer is fantastic.  I have used Mandolins in culinary school and they are typically quite dangerous.  This particular handheld version is very safe with a guard and holding device.

I chose, this day, to slice some zucchini fresh from the garden.  They turned out uniform and beautiful.  I used them to top our pizza instead of pepperoni.

I was also able to try out my new cutting board and knife and the knife cut through the tomatoes like paper.  

When I make pizza I use a whole wheat crust and this particular one I rolled out and then shaped into the Bar Pan.  I love the stoneware products because they cook evenly and the bottom is cooked through just like the side crusts and so there is never a soggy spot in the dough.

The Bar Pan can simply be seasoned using your favorite oil or cook some bacon on it in the oven.  Once the pan is seasoned you hardly have to wash it... just run it under hot water and get the bits and such off or use a sponge without soap to scrub it down.  If for some reason you have to use a little soap it is easy to re-season it again.

So, I shaped the dough... topped it with a sauce, some cheese and then veggies and baked it.

It turned out beautifully and evenly cooked.  The cleanup was simple, too.

The pizza cutter and small spatula are great multipurpose tools, too.  

For the month of August you get a free pizza cutter with a $60.00 or more purchase and you can choose a Simple Slicer as one of the discounted items this month.  

If you are interested in any of these tools for your kitchen please feel free to contact me or head over to my Pampered Chef page to order your items today.
