You know, I'm gonna say that I do. Yeah you right hand and your left hand. Seriously, almost everything can be done with your hands. I'm you can't chop things with your hands it admittedly but one thing I will say is like, you know, the kitchen stores love to sell you all sorts of fancy gadgets like a monogrammed initial jalapeno popper Branding Iron mmm I think it does actually yes. I just tried to go as extremely ridiculous as I could there. There are a lot of very useful kitchen tools I have All of them. Yes, I have we've written eight cookbooks together and I out of this house. So we have giant drawers of all sorts of stuff that we've used and I'm gonna dig around but you know, why don't you talk to them talk about my favorite kitchen tools? Yeah. Thank you. I only had two things definitely a sharp kitchen knife would be my first well just a spoon honestly something up there a hot hot with because I do not have asbestos hands. You can reach your hand into boiling water and pull something out, but I don't do that. Yeah. All right. So the three things that I Yeah, it's so important I can find it. So all right, we'll go with that. We'll go with sharp knife and therefore along with a sharp knife comes the sharpening of knife material. So a good steel a good wet stone, you know, as I do a shop in my knives, you know every week and a half or so or just the guy at the farmers market who does it for you? Yeah, or like or the hardware store down the street, you know, Ace and True Value sometimes have that. So I'd say that good Sheriff knife and whatever is needed in your life to keep that knife sharp. Also just a good spoon spatula stir flipper Etc. I tend to use The tools that can do all of those things that have a slightly that have a slightly beveled Edge to them. It's obviously doesn't need to be sharp. But can I turn a piece of fish with this? Yes, I can get under it to turn it over using the most useful tool your hands, right? I can stir a pot. I can scrape a pot out as I'm trying to get something. Yeah, you can do everything with this and wood works on every cooking surface. No matter how delicate it is how non-stick it is how sticky it is how durable it is Woodworks on everything right? You just have to keep them, you know be mindful of it. So they don't burn when they're hanging off the pot if you've got gas stove Etc, but I would say those two. All right, the other things that I reach for just constantly is a pair of tongs. That's what I had in my restaurants. Just what we use I can do anything with a pair of tongs as delicately as I can with my hands or chefs do with very tweezers. Are you see now using Chopsticks Etc? It's just that really great tool for manipulation. Whenever you need to reach and grab something. That I cook, you know I could I'm I am an omnivore so I'm cooking meat I'm cooking hamburgers not often, but I cook seafood a lot tongues are very useful for that sort of large item. You know, do you need them? If you're a vegetarian cook, it's not so often that you're cooking very large amounts of things or sort of large things themselves. So in that case peritolins might not be as needed.
