Heirloom Quality Biscuit Cutters

Michelle Smith — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:46:11 +0000

Etsy weekend shopping… Wood Elements carries “heirloom-quality” biscuit cutters. They are hand turned and finished with a mineral oil that is safe for contact with food. The biscuit cutter also works well for cutting a circle shape into cookie dough.

They are 3 inches high, with a 2 1/4 inch diameter. They are carved from cherry wood. Each cutter is handmade and one of a kind.

Cherry is abundant in North America which explains its notoriety defining such America styles as Shaker and Mission woodwork. Classic and rich, cherry is a yellow wood that deepens to a mahogany color when exposed to sunlight. Although it is a traditional wood, cherry offers a feeling of distinction with its wave-like grain and fine texture.

Biscuit Cutter Cherry
$14 (for one)

The biscuit cutters are also made in maple. These would make a great gift, especially for someone who is knew to baking, or as something to pass down to your kids someday.

Spice Racks Anyone?

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:24:29 +0000

Right now my spices are neatly stored inside a cupboards. They’re lined up like soldiers ready to march. I would like to get a spice rack sometime that could stand on a counter top near the stove for easy reach while cooking. Or a spice rack that’s mountable underneath a cabinet to save space. I found 3 spice racks that I like from Tubular Spices.

Professional Select-a-Spice Satin Spice Rack is a, acrylic carousel style spice rack. Each spice dispenses 1/4 teaspoon from each dial clicked. The carousel rack holds 12 spices. It also comes with a mountable adapter to mount it underneath a cabinet or if you have two racks to stack on top of each other. $42.99

This Zevro Z12 spice rack is quite unique with a chic and sleek design. It’s a top and bottom kinds of spice rack which then helps to have a clear and more counter space. $44.99.

This White Select-a-Spice Spice Rack is the one I like the most. It holds 12 rotating spice dispensers. The auto dial dispenses 1/4 teaspoon of spice when turned. Each 12 dispensers is also capable of pouring or shaking the spices. This also comes with stackable kit, and under cabinet mount hardware. $23.90

Titan Peeler, just name alone will keep you glued on TV once you see the infomercial. That’s what happened to me the first time I saw it. It’s just a peeler, I mean there’s so many of them. What would be special about a peeler?

Well for starters, it’s so sharp that it could also double as a vegetable and cheese slicer. Both soft or hard cheeses. Hellllo. I was more impressed with the infomercial guy started peeling a whole pineapple using the Titan Peeler. Now that’s what we call a sharp peeler.
