    • kitchen_gadgets_header.jpgJust recently I decided that it was time to face my kitchen fears and learn to cook — the right way. (PB & J and scrambled eggs can only get you so far.)  I have never been a fan of the cooking process with all of the mess and waiting around for things to simmer and bake.  I truly only appreciated the end result of the entire ordeal: eating.

    So in an effort to make the cooking experience a little more pleasant, I thought it would be best to incorporate some gadgets, tools, and apps that would enhance the process and make it much more enjoyable.  With an assortment of fun apps and colorful gadgets, I can now say that I find the cooking experience quite satisfying — and I may even go as far as to call myself a bona fide “foodie” now.

    Check out some of the gadgets and apps that helped me connect with my inner-chef.  Do you use any gadgets to spice up your kitchen experience?  Share the wealth!
    P.S. As it turns out, I’m a pretty decent cook!

      I hate to be THAT comment-er but the numbers in your pictures don’t match the numbered list after each photo.

      It also does not display the secrah results in a mobile friendly fashion.What was wrong with the old Google mobile? It was fast and simple, and worked.I actually used it on my iPhone because it was SO much more lightweight than the iPhone version which forces me to load all my email and Reader stuff to do a simple secrah.And now, with the new version, ijn order to get to Reader I have to click, load another page, then click again. Before it was just one click in a drop down menu.This new version is not all that good. Now I am stuck with the slow bloated iPhone version, or this new version which is not very mobile friendly in the long term, or the standard normal web version.Please bring back the old Google mobile… Or at least make the secrah results display in a more mobile friendly fashion.
