Kathi and co-host Erin MacPherson discuss Clutter Free Kitchens. When your kitchen is clutter free you can cook more and find everything. They also share the tools they use that they can’t live without. From the instant pot to the ninja coffee maker they each share their favorite kitchen tools.
This post isn’t about things you should run out and buy. You don’t need more stuff, but this about you having things that make you happy and your life more enjoyable. Kathi talks about purchasing tools, not trinkets to make your home a better place to be.
Share with us your kitchen tool that you can’t live without in the comments.
The List of Kitchen Tools:
Below is a list of the kitchen items Kathi and Erin can’t live without.
Victorinox Swiss Classic 3 1/4″ Paring Knife, Spear Tip, Serrated, Red
Aerolatte Original Electric Hand Held Milk Frother, Satin 19.99
French Toast from America’s Test Kitchen
Ingredients
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for frying
¾ cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
? cup unbleached all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon table salt
4 – 5 slices day-old challah bread, (3/4-inch-thick) or 6 to 8 slices day-old sandwich bread
1. Heat 10- to 12-inch skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat egg lightly in shallow pan or pie plate; whisk in butter, then milk and vanilla, and finally sugar, flour, and salt, continuing to whisk until smooth. Soak bread without oversaturating, about 40 seconds per side for challah or 30 seconds per side for sandwich bread. Pick up bread and allow excess batter to drip off; repeat with remaining slices.
2. Swirl 1 tablespoon butter in hot skillet. Transfer prepared bread to skillet; cook until golden brown, about 1 minute 45 seconds on first side and 1 minute on the second. Serve immediately. Continue, adding 1 tablespoon butter to skillet for each new batch.

The instant pot recommended above just went on sale on Amazon, $79!

I’m begging my husband for an early Christmas present!
If I were to add to the list, it would be my Hamilton Beach Toastation. It is a toaster oven and a toaster, we use it all the time!
What a fun broadcast!! It had everything I love: kitchen must haves, organization, cookbooks, recipes, and laughter!!! Thank you both!
How much flour in the French Toast? Both recipes look yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Erin! 1/2 C of flour.
I love your list. The Americas Test Kitchen cookbook is truly the best – mine is looking beat up, but surely that is a compliment to a cookbook. I started an Amazon wish list of the things that they recommend, now I’m adding your ideas to it too.
