Tools of the Trade by Jose Gil-Figueroa

Entering Williams-Sonoma, the powerful scent of artificial yet delicious Fall immersed me immediately. I looked around in wonderment to all of the interesting gadgets, shiny pots and pans and the abundance of kitchen paraphernalia that completed this store of kitchen ingenuity.

As I peered on the shelves for a new and interesting tool to use in the modern United States kitchen, I found a simple yet very useful piece of machinery. A Potato Ricer. This shining, glimmering and seemingly complex utensil once looked at and investigated sort of like a caveman and a fork. Or Wall-E and his newly found spork, I actually knew how to use this interesting piece of culinary genius. All that is needed to be done is put a shaved potato, fresh and hot from cooking and then push down the lever and poof you have instant riced potatoes! What an invention, Huh?!?! Simple, to the point, yet invaluable when your muscles don't wanna mash those potatoes to a pulp.

It was a great time at the Williams-Sonoma store in Clarendon. Seeing all of the new and elaborate gadgets to assist the modern chef in his/her quest for the best food creation.
