All month long Martha Stewart has been showing us her “must-haves” on The Martha Stewart Show. I’ve enjoyed seeing what she considers essential, even if I find most of it out of my price range! Yesterday though she showed some kitchen tools and I fell off my chair when I realized I had every single one!

musthave-toolsI love the microplane and use it for cheese and zest. I just bought the Asian strainer a couple of weeks ago and have not used it yet. The reamer has gotten a lot of use, but Mr. MarthaAndMe bought me an electric juicer for Mother’s Day, so I’ve since retired it. I have to say I was surprised Martha included the reamer since she is always raving about that little plastic juicer tool she uses on the show.

I would have to say that if I were to make a list of my essential kitchen tools it would not include the strainer and the reamer. It would however include a good pair of tongs, a rubber grip to open jars, a thin sturdy spatula, a rubber scraper, a rubber grip veggie peeler and a plastic liquid measuring cup (the ones with the special markings so you can read them from the top, not the side). What are your essentials?
