Food Saver

This tool is amazing .Why you ask? Well since I purchased this handy little tool I have saved more food, more money and more time than ever. When I got it I had no idea how handy and helpful it would be.

I have more stuff in my freezer than ever. When we buy food and everything from meat to beans we have a habit of buying more or going for the buy one get one free or sale prices. 


I dehydrate many of my food and use it to make sure it is in a airtight container. That is it. They have an attachment that seal mason jars. The lids will also fit many standard jars. 

Since the kids have grown and moved I still cook for 6 people that is weird but I love cooking thus the obsession. When I have left overs from any meal I can seal the leftovers by portion for another meal. 

Take your food and place it in one of the seal saver bags. Seal and go. It is that simple. 

This is ne tools I highly recommend you get.

Here is a perfect sample of the what to do. I bought this Boneless Pork Roast. Chopped , sliced etc and sealed each potion in a separate bag and sealed them. Awesome

Mezzaluna


This tool is amazing and of your lucky like me you have two one modern one and one ole' school from grama..... This tool is great for cutting your herbs .


It can take a few tries to get used to using a mezzaluna. You can experiment with both flat cutting boards and rounded bowls to get the hang of it; some cooking stores sell special cutting boards with small depressions which are ideally suited to the use of a mezzaluna. If you haven't used this style of blade before, do yourself a favor and purchase a bag of carrots or celery to practice with before you embark on the production of a major meal.


Once people learn to control mezzalunas, they can use these knives for things like mincing and herbs, finely chopping tomatoes for sauces, and engaging in a variety of other tasks. A mezzaluna can also be used as a pastry knife, chopping shortening into flour to make an assortment of doughs. Some people find that once they start using a mezzaluna for such tasks, it can be difficult to use an ordinary knife.


When seeking out a mezzaluna in a store, look for one of solid construction made from good-quality metal. Check the blade carefully for pits or holes at the join of blade and handle where food and bacteria could cluster. To care for your mezzaluna, always hand wash it and dry immediately; wrap the mezzaluna in a sheath or a piece of thick canvas to protect the blade and prevent injuries when not in use.
