I'm left handed so my mother-in-law bough me a couple wooden utensils designed specifically for lefties!

@eddieaich This is so sweet! And such an amazing gift idea, saving this thought for my left handed friends when I discover them...

@lauren_place left handed Friends require left handed solutions !

My first cast iron skillet. I was caught completely off-guard by how much easier it makes cooking things evenly.

@fastflowz Just make sure to keep it dry at all times 😉

@aaronoleary I'm so paranoid about that lol. After I use it, I typically wash -> dry -> season.

Not really a tool but my Mom 😅. It's a fun bonding time and I get to learn family recipes and things that I grew up eating! I have been using the Google home hub (with screen) to look up recipes and help me not touch a screen while baking.

@gabe__perez upvote for wholesomeness haha

Sharp knives. Absolutely love the chopping process with them!
Lauren Place
@sreekar any preference for brands/ type of knife?
Sreekar Channapragada
@lauren_place I'm not really sure what brand those knives are. Really old knives though. Sharpened by a guy who came in front my house and literally yelled "I will sharpen your knives for money!" That was the cue for me to run out of my chair and hand him over all of my knives.

I got on that sourdough hype train and got myself a proving basket and a bench scraper. I don't make bread as often as I could/should but when I do it's so worth it.

Oh this is my kind of discussion. I have a plethora of cooking tools but I'm constantly buying new ones, picked up 3 new chef knives, all carbon steel, a new cream siphon, some new plates, a bread fermentation station
Lauren Place
@aaronoleary Ooh— any preference for chef knives? I haven't gone expensive yet with mine- love a good $20-40 Mercer or Victorinox
Lauren Place
@aaronoleary that being said I'm in the market to upgrade from Ikea plates haha open to any ceramics suggestions

In my free time, I've worked on a web application that provides users detailed information about recipes/dishes. Its not done yet, development version: https://ingredient-git-developme...

I bought an airfryer and a sousvide and they both changed my life and made cooking so much easier and cleaner.
Lauren Place
@andrewgoei How so? I thought sousvide takes hours on hours. Big fan of air fryers though
Lauren Place
@andrewgoei Its a trend right now in Korea to buy these chocolate filled cream puff snacks and air fry them (makes the chocolate ball pop)- kind of defeats the health benefits of purchasing an airfryer but now I want one! https://www.amazon.com/Choco-Hom...

Aside from making way too many burritos to test out Burrito Pop (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), I've been making lots of pizza from sourdough bread starter, and really loving the pizza stone.

Does watching all seasons of Top Chef US, Canada and France count as a training tool? More seriously though: we started hosting Zoom dinner parties with friends during the lockdown, where we all have the same list of ingredients and we all come up with our own recipes. Then we talk about what and how we've cooked as we eat together. Learned tons of things.
