I am a low techi too. I have very few gadgets. I finally broke down and bought myself a food processor. And it drives me crazy more than it seems to be useful. <BR/><BR/>My low tech favorites at the moment are my French press, and stove top espresso maker. No machines!<BR/><BR/>...and the other thing I am always noticing how much we decorate the same. I have in my kitchen the cream cabinets, stainless steel fridge, and the reed glass in my pantry door. We must have been looking at the same magazines while we were building our homes.

That, and my Kitchen Aide mixer, are my favorite pieces of equipment.

We always used a potato masher (albeit, a larger one with a much longer handle) to stir and break up the ground beef.<BR/><BR/>As for the Ulu knife, I've been to Alaska and didn't get one. :( But I have a friend there, and I may have to ask her to send one to me.Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.com
