cutting board
though cuisinart came to mind.....
nope radio wasn't on the short list...
whisk, boning knife....
fun toys: microplanes, emersion blenders.....
microwave.... im sorry to say, and thats only because of the kitchen i work in...
the chargrill is too hot so when i ask for a chicken breast its either burned or still raw in the middle so i nuke it...
of course if im doing the chicken for someone i like i use the frankie grill, now ive only been cooking for around 6 months proff but the old chef who has been cooking for 9 or more years proff, whos partner is the manager who has been cooking for 14 years proff... she likes my food better because she knows ill screw the company procedures and make nice food... (frankie grill is cheaper to run than a chargrill anyway)
Hmm... lets see yea, towels from above ! without those things can really come to a grinding halt lol!!
After that I guess the combi-oven and the buffalo chopper
Meat thermometer (how did I ever cook meat without one?)
and scale (use quite a few international recipes- would be lost tryng to find conversions for each food)
Towels are on the list too- I go through a lot of them!
it's those little things in life that leave you frustrated......lolol plastic wrap....hard to work without it.
Through the years I've demoed out on the street w/o water, electricity....you can make dishes without heat....cutting boards are pretty important....hmmmm bowls are pretty important if you're not using a skillet/pot.....fire extinguisher is not used often if ever but if you need it, you need it.
I swear to god this isn't a plug, but I'm gonna have to go w/ my kuhn rikon peeler, even if it is just a cheap piece of plastic, I've had mine for 5 years, the blade rusted due to someone else's misuse twice, and it is still hands down the sharpest peeler I've used and it won't break like a ceramic.
for me it would be my KA Stand Mixer, it save me alot of time, i can mix whatever i want while doing other important things, and another very important thing in my life and in my kitchen SALT!!!!!!!!:lips: Sorry i think salt is not a tool
After my knives the one tool I insist be present in any kitchen in which I work is a fire extinguisher. I've never needed it so far, but I've always required it.
i dont know where you guys work, but i hate tongs.
and no place i worked allowed me to use them. it bruises meat and rips apart fragile objects.
