Cooking tools you shouldn’t live without

04.03.16

Cooking tools you shouldn't live without-food
Meal prep sure becomes easier when you have the right cooking tools!  Right?  Such is the case when you are trying to make a meal with the most tender cuts of meat.  But sometimes you’re just in too much of a hurry to ask your butcher to run each piece through the tenderizer.  So you resort to doing it at home.
I was asked to review this CAVE TOOL meat tenderizing mallet.  Awesome cooking tool!  And it’s one you can’t live without!

And I was more than happy to try it out, but even happier when I received it and was able to make a comparison to my old mallet.

I’ve had this one for over 30 years and if you’re like me and you own one…you don’t just use it for meats.  Right?  I’ve used mine to put dings in wood and furniture to make it look more rustic, to hammer shut hard to replace lids on metal cans, etc.  So, realistically, they’re a pretty handy tool to have in your kitchen.

When we tested this product on chicken and beef, it performed better than we expected and the meat in both cases, was perfectly tender and not shredded to bits.

Cooking tools you shouldn’t live without

  • The weight is perfectly balanced in your hand, especially with the rubber hand grip.
  • The tenderizing side is not too spiked as to cause too many tears in your meats, (a problem I had with my old mallet).
  • The opposite side is a smooth surface that helps in cracking nuts in hard shells or many other possibilities!
I love when I find a new tool that I can honestly enjoy using and this one, certainly doesn’t fall short of having many uses as well as working like it should!  Thank you CAVE TOOLS for a great product and the opportunity to help try this out.  My days in the kitchen just got easier!

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

He likes working outdoors in the cold for a bit so he can come inside and have a “hot cocoa tea party” as he calls it!💋 He loves this tea set and so do I ❣️
