Kitchen Gadgets

Every good kitchen has a bunch of gadgets. They keep well in drawers, some used rarely, some never. Earlier we examined "The Big Drawer," those tools that stir, scoop, shred, and otherwise make a meal happen. Here we examine "The Small Drawer," those gadgets that we could live without, but they really really come in handy.

They measure, they shred, they peel. Like I said, we could cook without them, but we'd rather not. Here is our list of gadgets which you will find in "The Small Drawer":
