We all have that kitchen utensil that we dread using. It's the one that never works right and causes us to swear and grumble and not have as much fun in the kitchen as we should be having. And yet, we never throw this utensil away. We never buy a new one. For no reason other than human laziness (and sometimes cheap-ness) we just keep using the crappy utensil we hate. In my case, this is a vegetable peeler. The Husband swears that if you press down with one finger and hold it at just the right angle it works just fine. This is also the man, however, who thought the vacuum worked fine even though to make it work he had to push down on the top of it with one foot and hop around the room on the other foot while he vacuumed.
I hate our vegetable peeler. It was not until yesterday however, when I used a friend's OXO Swivel Peeler that I finally saw the light. The peels practically flew off the carrot! I was done peeling in record time! Suddenly, I loved peeling vegetables!
This week, go through your drawers. Take out that peeler or knife or spatula or pan that you've always hated and throw it away without a bit of guilt. Cooking is hard enough without unnecessary irritations slowing us down.
