I had a lefty version of this specially made for me. Works great on some cooks. Tongs better for others.

This garlic peeler is a CHAMP! https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Silicone-.../dp/B0002YTFV4

Super easy, super fast. Just be sure to blow/shake out skins that might remain in the tube after every few cloves.

@PanheadJohn finally got all the sutures and staples out this past Thursday. Still slingbound for another 3 weeks. Physical Therapy is going well according to the staff. Really only mild pain I have is in the bicep and scapula both involved in the surgery. Additionally my collar bone not part of surgery sings all day most likely from position of arm in the sling. Overall I would say doing a 9 outta 10.

Hey tiewunon How’s your rehab coming? Saw your post thought I’d check and see how you’re doing.

Well the best tools/gadgets I have are hand me down Larding and Barding irons. These puppies are old school. Here is a video of a cheap Larding Needle. Works extremely well on lean cuts of meat by introducing fat and/or vegetables.

It only took me about 18 years, but I finally realized something obvious. I usually pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts to a more uniform thickness. Even when I cover them with plastic wrap, it's often like the shower scene from Psycho. Today I finally realized that if I left them in the vacuum-sealed bag, the thicker, hermetically sealed bag would contain the carnage. And lo and behold, it worked like a charm. I pounded them in the vacuum-sealed bag and, then cut the bag open and put them right on the grill.

Good web site too bad I am in a different country.

Do they still sell those? I have both the marinade container and the shaker bottle. They're so old they have that gummy feel. Supposedly soaking them in Citrus-Solv, gets rid of that. On my to-do list. At the bottom.

Restaurant supply stores are a great source for well priced doo-dads.

I have two of those season serve containers, one is larger than the other. They are terrific.

I have the Season-Serve, and use it frequently. It’s a good item. Mrs Mosca had to buy something at a Tupperware party, and made a good choice!

How did they not name these meat feet!?
