When I was growing up the kitchen was the hub in our household. On any given day you’d find 3 or 4 of us huddled around the center island making snacks and catching up. To this day, while our kitchen is quite petite, it’s still where we spend most of our time cooking and congregating. I have a measly set of pots and pans (with limited space I have pared it down to the necessities) but when it comes to gadgets, sauces, spices, and tools I’ll cram in as much as I can! Here are a few of my all time favorites…

For folding or spatulaing or even flipping eggs without breaking the yolk this guy is epic, doesn’t turn a color or melt or fail (I prefer the 13in but to each their own). http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Commercial-Products-1963-Scraper/dp/B0042YHN6E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390465883&sr=8-1&keywords=rubbermaid+spatula
