RE: 7 Essential Tools For The Homestead Kitchen
Wow, great list of tools! I agree, a good knife is essential! Thanks for the recommendation for a knife, as I am still searching for my best knife to love. I have a few decent ones, but they all lack something...
I dearly love my cast iron pans. I have quite a few. I received a dutch oven as a gift from a friend but I have yet to use it! I dont know why, I guess just because I am not used to it...
I also dearly love my french press. You are right, there is just something about pressed coffee!
The rest of stuff is on my 'to get someday' list.. I have never canned before. Im not allowed a pressure canner, (hubby is sure it will explode), but will water bath can someday. I ferment things, but am using glass jars for now. I cant imagine how nice it would be to have an actual crock and carboy, haha!
Great post!
ahh, I just love our morning coffee ritual! So glad to hear another person agrees about the qualities of the French press! :)
I have converted five people so far that were terrified of pressure canning and now they think its the best thing ever! Perhaps I'll have to work on convincing you. Maybe one day I;ll figure out how to do a video. That exploding thing is the worst rumour/myth ever. haha.
The crocks are really lovely but I do things in such big batches sometimes so that's the main benefit. I love the convenience of the glass jars!
thanks for reading and saying hello!
Haha, its not me you have to convince, its the husband! He is sure it will explode. I told him they have improved the design and all that, but hes kinda stubborn... LOL
I like big batches too! I use a 2gal glass jar to make my kombucha in and love it! Ive always thought a crock would be fantastic, but they are pretty pricey.
Have a great night!
