Me, it's bowls. Not eating bowls, but rather mixing and food
preparation bowls. Whenever I go to a kitchen store or area of a
department store, I always check out the bowls.

I have a metal set (Kirkland) of three, Cloverleaf type bowls (one
very large actual Cloverleaf and three smaller ones made in China),
and four white glass Pyrex with exterior single colours I got from my
mother's estate.

This is exactly the same as the red one I have, which is the second
smallest in size, colours being from the inside out: blue, red, green
and yellow.

Here's a picture of a blue one from that set:

I also have two large salad bowls, one clear glass and the other
white plastic (good for picnics and what not). And one small glass
pyrex bowl for beating eggs in.

What about you?

now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and
enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance
has come an era of peace in the Pacific.

Knives.

I have a few Wusthof that I really like. Only seven, but that's plenty
for me.

And a Sabatier "oriental cleaver" which might be my favorite. It's
especially fun with vegetables.

And my extra-long steel. I'm not very adept at freshening the edges.
The extra length helps.

I've been using a Chef's Choice to sharpen, but no more. I found a
little place in town that does a really good job for only 99 cents per
knife "on sale." They have the "sale" a couple times per month. They
sell Wusthof and other high quality brands too.

I really love prep work, so knives are an important pleasure.

Hi My name is Kimberly, and I am a whiskoholic. I currently have 11 whisks,
in as many sizes and shapes. I have coiled whisks, flat whisks, balloon
whisks, miniature whisks. It is my belief you can never have too many
whisks.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love lots of stuff. My Microplanes and good pans
for example. I also love knives. Once I had my first quality knife, I never
looked back. No longer did the knives at the grocery store hold even a
fleeting interest...though I still gaze at the whisks sometimes.

I'm a paring knife addict... have more than fifty... recently obtained the
L'Econome from Williams Sonoma, couldn't decide so got one of each color; red,
green, blue, yellow, brown... $6 for one but $25 for all five. Great little
knife. I see now the same knife is availabe with a serrated blade... nah,
don't like serrated.

For me it's stainless steel implements such as spatulas, tongs and spoons/ladles,
measuring spoons and specialty tools.

Anything in stainless steel! They look so tidy....

Me too, but rather handheld gadgets. I'm a sucker for an olive
pitter or a lemon zester.
