cooling liquid creates an even freezing. Once finished, hand wash the inside bowl
and snap back the retractable cord for easy storing.

Extra Bowl for Cuisinart Ice Cream
Maker
|
Holds 1-1/2 quarts;
Keep one bowl always freezer-ready!
Cuisinart makes it easy for ice cream lovers by selling extra freezer bowls! Having
an extra freezer bowl is extremely useful if you are making large quantities of ice
cream or you plan on making different varieties. According to the instruction booklet
it can take between six to twenty-two hours to freeze the bowl. We usually keep one
bowl in the freezer all the time, then when making a batch of ice cream we replace
it with the extra bowl. The freezer bowl doesn't take up much space and it's easy
to clean!

OXO Good Grips Natural Grip Bread
Knife
|
Cut that low carb
bread really thin and perfect!
Because fresh baked bread
is now a part of our low-carb lives again, when I happened upon this bread knife
in a kitchen store, it intrigued me. One of the problems with eating low-carb
bread is that it doesn't come pre-sliced like we've been used to all these years.
And getting the slices uniform and thin enough to fit the carb-budget bill we set
for ourselves is very important. A confession: I am lousy at slicing bread.
Or at least I was.
Our purchase of the OXO Natural Grip Bread Knife was one of the best things
I've added to my kitchen arsenal in awhile. As you can see
in the photo at right, it's shaped a little different. When you use it, you'll see
how natural it feels and how easy it is to always position for a perfect slice of
bread. Now if I want a grilled cheese sandwich on two slices of bread, I cut them
thin enough to equal 2 carbs each (about 1/4" slices using the recipe linked
above.)
The knife has a curved, ergonomic handle that keeps hand elevated and reduces
wrist strain, plus it's stainless steel and dishwasher safe. I love this knife!

Demarle Silpat Nonstick Baking Sheet
Liner
|
11x17-Inch; Demarle
Inc.
Want to make low carb cheese chips without using tons of parchment paper?
This can save you both time and money, as it's re-usable and
easy clean. Place thin 2-3" squares of your favorite cheese (Swiss is super!)
2 inches apart on this sheet and then pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes
(varies depending on microwave) and you have crisp lacy rounds that double
as chips or crackers and are just delicious. And for only a trace of carbs!
Also, say good-bye, to messy greasing operations when baking or freezing!
Simply place this flexible, 11-by-17-inch liner on a baking sheet and when cooking
is completed (or you remove baked goods from the freezer) slide those low carb cookies
or cheese crisps off the liner! It's completely nonstick, thanks to the silicone
coating atop the liner's glass fabric. And the liner can be used and reused indefinitely.
Cleanup is no more complicated than wiping with a damp sponge, rinsing, and drying flat.
Roll up the liner for storage! It will not burn, scorch, or stick.
This is large enough that you cut it into two or more pieces
to fit your individual needs for lining multiple cookie
sheets or plates!

Matfer Mandoline
2000
|
Slices, juliennes, and
fancy-cuts!
In Fran McCullough's best selling The
Low-Carb Cookbook, she highly recommends using a good quality mandoline
for slicing and preparing many of the more exotic (less common) veggies we
creatively use in our cooking. That's what got me to try this, and she's right -
a cheap one won't do. A really good one is worth its weight in gold, and with
this, a jicama, celery root, or turnip is short work to turn itself into
hash browns or crinkle cut fries!
This French-made mandoline solves two problems posed by stainless-steel
mandolines: weight and complexity. Matfer trims weight by mounting stainless-steel
blades and plates on a durable fiberglass frame. Thoughtful design banishes operating
complexity. (An instructional video answers remaining questions.) Like other
professional-grade mandolines, this one uniformly slices, juliennes, and
crinkle-and waffle-cuts fruits and vegetables. The sizable mandoline--15-1/2 by
5-1/4 inches--sets up at a ski-slope angle on folding legs and stays put on rubber
feet. The slicing blade has both a serrated and a straight edge, and adjusting from
one to the other is uncomplicated. A knob adjusts the guide plate to the desired cutting
thickness, and a gauge displays the setting in inches and millimeters.

Salton Flax Seed Mill
|
Nutritionist FX5 Daily
Dose - Electric grinder crushes hard flax seeds!
Most of us low-carbers are already sold on the health benefits of our diet including
flax seeds: The seeds are rich in dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which help
protect against heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and inflammatory and autoimmune
disorders. More important, flax seed may protect against cancer, especially
hormone-sensitive kinds--hence Salton's contribution of a portion of the proceeds
from this product to breast cancer research. This electric mill grinds the hard
seeds into an easily digestible powder that has a pleasant, mildly nutty flavor.
The ground flax can be cooked into muffins and breads (it's a great
component of the wonderful Gabi's Bread Recipe!);
sprinkled over salads and cooked vegetables; or added to smoothies and low
carb shakes. A rotary dial allows you to set the grinding in a range from fine
to coarse.

Salton Egg Poacher/Boiler
|
Boils up to six eggs--choose soft,
medium, or hard!
What? Low carbers eating eggs? You bet - it's a staple of our diet. But a great
objective is to not let them feel boring and repetitive by having them cooked the
same way all the time. This Salton egg poacher has been so useful to me. I've been
using mine over a year and still love it!
Poach one or two eggs, create fluffy individual omelets, or cook up to
six soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled eggs with this electric cooker, which actually
uses steam to cook the food. A measuring cup (with a built-in egg piercer) is
included--fill it with water to the appropriate level for the number of eggs
you want to cook and how well done you want them, then pour the water into the
nonstick heating vessel. Eggs for poaching and omelets go into D-shaped pans,
while whole eggs rest on a rack. Put the clear domed lid on top and turn the dial
to one of two cook settings: "silent" (you have to time the cooking) or "buzzer,"
which alerts you when the food is done. Clean the plastic parts in warm, sudsy
water, and wipe the unit clean with a damp cloth. For compact storage, the power
cord winds into a track underneath the 7-1/2-by-4-1/2-inch unit.

OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner
|
Great for washing and drying lettuce,
herbs, greens!
It's a very healthy idea indeed for reduced carb diets to include great salads - often.
But dry, unwashed lettuce and greens are not appetizing and washing often means
a wet salad. Here's the answer:
Washing and drying leafy vegetables has never been simpler or more fun than with
this gadget. One hand is all you need to press the soft, cushioned knob to start
the spinning; when the built-in brake is applied and the job is done, the basket
and bowl can be taken apart and used separately. The knob locks down for easy
storage, and the spinner is dishwasher-safe. Use this tool with lettuce, raw spinach,
broad-leafed herbs, and greens--they end up clean and oh-so-dry, and the drier your
leaves, the better salad dressings will adhere and the less mushy your sandwich bread
will become. Puddles at the bottom of your salad bowl disappear... Good Grips products
are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award.
