What are your unconventional kitchen tools/utensils you were skeptical of at first but feel you can’t live without?
Steel tea pot - I drink a pot every day but last couple pots were both glass and only last a couple months before breaking (both my fault) so upgraded to steel and so far my clumsiness hasn’t yet managed to break it
This! I recently got a steel French press and it’s fantastic! The best part is I’ll have to drop it off a cliff to break it.
If you are into tea, you might want to consider an electric kettle with variable temperature. Nothing is more of a shame than burning good leaves or having to be limited to leaves that can handle a near boil. It’s tricky & a futz to watch a thermometer for boiling water to a specific temperature for your tea—especially if you are relying on that cup to help your mood & concentration.
Kettle != tea pot
And? Adjacent topic for those looking at where to upgrade their tea equipment.
Yep! I have a Cosori kettle that’s been working great (and outlasted my first two pots lol)
Having my tea pot for about 6-7 years now made of glass.
Mind you I am not using it 24/7 though.You must be Elizabeth from Keeping Up Appearances!
