One of my favorite things: a collapsible trivet

[netmouse]

Sometimes I like to bring attention to objects I like or find really useful. These are two of my favorite things that I inherited from my grandmother:




They are quite lightweight and take up very little space in the drawer, yet they are very sturdy and the rubber feet and metal top makes them a good trivet - stands high heat well, and insulates it from the counter or table. They can also support a fair amount of weight. And you can shake the trivet out from compressed to expanded with one hand.

I haven't seen the like in any stores, but if I do they may become a standard wedding gift from me...

What are your favorite kitchen tools?

The tool I use most often in my kitchen is my Ipad, which plays me podcasts and seminars I listen to while preparing food or cleaning up.

heh. I use my GSIII to look up recipes fairly often, but it's a bit small for that - I have to keep scrolling between ingredients and procedures. A tablet would be better.
