I Love My Kitchen Gadgets From 1Easylife!

Over the years I have tried to get the best kitchen tools I could get. Having good tools to work with makes the job of meal prep a lot easier and more enjoyable.

1Easylife has several things that I am really enjoying. Each one of them is extremely well made and fits perfectly into my style of cooking.


The first thing is the Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons. The set of 6 measuring spoons come with a D-ring to hold them all together and to hang them up with. The set includes the 1 tbsp, 1 tsp, 3/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1/4 tsp, and 1/8 tsp. I absolutely love having the 3/4 tsp and 1/8 tsp. Both of them save me time when I have to cut back recipes to cook for just myself and my husband.


The design of the spoons is great. The handle is nice and long, so it reaches well into spice and condiment bottles. There is a small indentation on the handle to help you hold it better. Also, the spoons themselves are long and narrow making it much easier to get into even small spice bottles. That means no pouring and making a mess trying to get the spoon filled.


The fact that they are stainless steel is great too. They are easy to take care of and will last a long time!


Another of the items I like a lot helps feed my coffee addiction. It's the Stainless Steel Coffee Scoops. The set comes with a 1 tbsp and a 2 tbsp scoop. They are made from heavy stainless steel and are super easy to clean and use. The design of the scoops is perfect for get into a bag of coffee and being able to get a good scoop of coffee easily.

I love having the two sizes since I am the only one who drinks coffee in the house. There are times I only want one cup and I use the pour over brewing method to make a good cup of coffee. The 1 tbsp scoop comes in very handy for that. Other times I like to use my French Press and make several cups of coffee for myself and a friend or two, so the 2 tbsp scoop is great for then.


Also the 2 tbsp scoop has comes in handy for some measuring for baking. Lots of recipes call for 2 tbsp of things and now I have a great scoop to help with that!


The third thing I have really enjoyed using lately is the 2-Piece Organic Bamboo Cutting Boards. The large board measures 18 in x 12 in x 3/4 in. The smaller board measures 11 in x 9 in x 3/5 in. Each of the boards are really pretty to look at. The wood is beautiful and the more you use them and wash them off, the prettier the wood looks.


Each board has a groove cut in it all the way around on all 4 sides about 1/2 in from the edge. Those grooves are great for catching juice as you cut things and to help keep things from rolling off. I love how sturdy the boards are too. I know they are going to hold up for a long time. Also, knowing they are made from organic bamboo is a big plus for me. Bamboo is a fast growing plant, so easily renewed.


One thing I have enjoyed using on the large bamboo cutting board is the Metal BBQ Meat Claws. We love pulled meat sandwiches and these meat claws are amazing to help get the shredding of the meat done fast.

I've tried plastic meat claws before and they don't even come close to these. These meat claws are made with stainless steel and are mounted into wooden handles. These are substantial meat claws. From the moment I opened the box they arrived in, I was impressed!


Each meat claw has 6 tines that have tapered ends. They also have slightly sharpened edges so it makes getting meat shredded quick and easy. With the heft and weight of the stainless steel, the job of shredding meat got shortened a lot.


The handles are easy to grasp and hold on to for a while. Since they are wood, they don't get slippery and slimy with the grease from the meat, making it easier to hang on to and not have your hands slip around using them. They are fantastic meat claws and I seriously recommend them to you!

A Fantastic Utensil Set For Everyone's Kitchen

There is something about reaching for a utensil and knowing it will work well for you, and without really thinking about it. I'm sure you know what I mean. We all have kitchen items that we instinctively go to because they have done a good job for us.


Chefs Limited has a 6 piece Utensil Set that might just fit that bill for a lot of us.This compact 6-Piece Kitchen Tool Set includes a Spaghetti Server, Slotted Spoon, Soup Ladle, Flipper Spatula, Potato Masher, Whisk, and it also comes with a Swiveling Stand.


Each of the utensils are made of an FDA approved nylon that is light weight and can withstand heat up to 410°! That makes these pieces not only safe to use with your food, but very convenient, since you don't have to think "is this going to hold up when I plunge this spoon into this hot casserole?" You can just go ahead and plunge away!

Since the utensils are heat resistant and nylon, they are safe to use on all you nonstick cookware. I really like that a lot, because if they are safe for nonstick cookware, they are good for all my other cookware too. The handles of the utensils are made of a silicone-like material, that feels nice in your hands. It doesn't feel slippery like a lot of plastic utensils can when using. You can get a really good grip, which helps me a lot with my arthritis. And there is a little more weight to them compared to other nylon utensils I have tried. They don't give, even when stirring or scooping something heavy or thick.


I love how the handles have the extra little lip on them so when you set them down on a counter, the head of the utensil does not touch the counter. It kind of floats above it, keeping the counter cleaner and the utensil from getting anything on it other than the food you are using it with.


The swiveling stand does come unassembled, but really takes no time at all to put together. It holds all 6 of the utensils easily and really does not take up a lot of room on the counter. It turns nicely even when one or two of the pieces are not hanging on it. The stand will also sit just fine even with one piece hanging from it, even though it is just a light weight plastic. My only problem with the stand is that when I go to turn it, I want to turn it with the loop on the top. That just spins and spins on it's own. You actually have to turn the small hooks to turn it.


The whisk hangs very low off the hooks. At first I thought it was touching the counter, but it just barely hangs above it. I found that keeping the heaviest utensil across from it helps keep it just a smidge higher than if a lighter one is across from it. The heaviest piece is the soup ladle. My favorite piece is the flipper. It is not really wide, but it will still help flip large items. It has holes in the head that help things like grease drip off. The end of it is tapped nicely so it can get under things like pancakes without messing them up!


This is a great utensil set and I think it would make a wonderful addition to pretty much anyone's kitchen. It will fit in with a lot of modern decor, but you can always stash them in a drawer if they don't and they still will work great!
