I print out recipes from on line all the time, but any drop of water will make the ink from the inkjet run and make a total mess of the recipe. So then it dawned on me. I have a clear plastic clipboard from staples. I clip the recipe wrong side down on the clipboard. Then I flip it over. I can read the recipe through the clear plastic, the plastic protects the paper and is easy to clean, and the clipper part holds the recipe up at an angle so it's easier to read. I love it when things work out like that!

Dish drawer dw and tv on pull out arm in the cabinet above the fridge. The gadget I wish we had is a vac pan. Not a gadget, but great organization seems to be what makes our kitchen very functional and seems to really "wow" guests (includes pots and pans drawers, tray dividers, and drawers dedicated to pyrex dishes so that they can be stacked by separate sizes rather than nested + separate drawer for lids.)

This is an interesting thread. My favorite kitchens items are large Pyrex measuring cups (4 and 8 cup size)to use as mixing bowels---you have a handle to steady them. Next is the APPLE CORER that cuts the apple into 8 wedges and the center core is separate. These can be bought at the grocery store or Target. Next is a flexible little nozzle you screw onto the end of your kitchen faucet. You can turn it in many angles to direct the water to different areas of your sink. Much handier than pulling out the sprayer. I don't know where my daughter bought it. HD bought one of those onion choppers but the many little square holes are hard to clean. The onion sticks to it--takes longer to clean than to chop the old fashion way.

Summer is no different than any other time. Most gadgets and gimmicks are never very useful past the honeymoon phase of enamourment. A good santoku blade, a decent cutting board, and a 12” multi purpose pan, and I can create just about anything. I do like my smoosh and squeeze citrus juicer though, summer or winter. I hate straining seeds through my fingers if here’s any cuts in them. If you have a heavy duty straw, like for a sippy cup, you can use that as a cherry pitter. But I can’t ever pit enough to do anything with because I’m too busy eating them. Part of the pleasure of some produce is the seasonability. When strawberries became available year round, it sorta diluted that specialness. And their taste.
