Choosing Appliance -> Salad spinner

While some may consider this a bit on the gadgety side, I think it is a must as dressings do not stick to water-logged salad greens.

Choosing Appliance -> Grater

In our opinion, the old fashioned box graters work the best since they are sturdy and offer several different grating sizes.

Kitchen tips -> Bananas

To ripen bananas quickly, place an apple with the bananas in a brown paper bag for approximately two days.
Ripe bananas can be saved for baking purposes by mashing, placing them in a plastic bag, and freezing until you are ready to use them. You can also place the whole banana in a bag and freeze it in its skin.
