Restaurant Supplies

I find that the way I cook/bake leads me to use up my equipment more like a pro would. So why not start out with pro-grade stuff!

Professional cookware is my goal. I try to replace things little by little with pro-grade stuff. Cookware, cutting tools, bakeware, even storage, when we do our big kitchen remodel I will be basing it on a restaurant/bakery kitchen not what's going on in the magazines!

I am focused mainly on baking, so baking products are my thing. There is nothing better than using a restaurant equipment grade baking pan for you cookies. I have 2 and they are fabulous, I need a bunch more, because when the holidays are here I can have up to 8 sheets going at once!

If you are looking for food service supplies they have everything from disposables to soup pots! The list goes on and on. I'm bookmarking this link because they stock Bunn repair parts & I have a Bunn!

My soon to be acquired new toy

Convinced hubby that I need a probe thermometer, after I almost blew up our instant read thermometer by accidentally leaving it in the oven, oops, am I bad???


And while I'm at it meet my Christmas present (and birthday!)...

Food Saver Deal...

FoodSaver(R)V840 Kit - Was $129.99, now only $79.99 and includes large assortment of FoodSaver bags!

I just got an email with this special. I have always wanted one of these & now maybe is the time!

I do know from experience, if you are going to use it A LOT, buy the best for your money. My sister had one, it only lasted 3 years, mainly because her dh used it for venison & it stopped working during one of his marathon packaging sessions... So the more HP the better!!!

Nifty Kitchen Gadgets

Nifty things on the web that belong or are already in my kitchen!!

Thrifty Mommy Has a review of the William Bounds Sili Gourmet Sling. This looks like a must have for those of us who have to cook mosterous birds & hams this time of year... (last Turkey I cooked was 22 pounds, wonder how this would hold up???)


Cuisipro Accutec Grater/Zester is one that I am itching to get. I just found a source for whole nutmeg, now I need a grater for it....

I am not sure how I manage to get buy with out the KitchenAid Box Grater I have a grater, but it is only a flat one, ouch! Bonus, this has a storage container for the stuff you grate!

I have one of these KitchenAid Rotary Grater. I know I can't live with out it. I have used it for cheese, nuts, chocolate...

OXO Good Grips 26981 Potato Ricer is on my wishlist. While I like lumpy mashed potatoes, not everyone cares for them. This item makes them smooth & yummy!

I have this Mandolin Kitchen Slicer but I want this MIU France Stainless Steel Professional Mandoline Slicer The plastic of the sunbeam just makes it harder to work with, don't ask me why, I just don't like it. The blades are harder to figure out, I kept putting them in upside down. Which really messes up the uniformity. And forget a waffle fry with it, I think I shredded a pound before I gave up...
