Handy Dandy Kitchen Tools
In light of this month’s Quick Bites, see p. 38, where we asked local chefs what favorite kitchen utensil they turn to at home, we put the same question to folks on the street.
David Sinclair, Grass Valley

I love my food processor — making guacamole, all kinds of salsa. You can use it for so much.
Kim Anderson, Phoenix, Ariz.

My Microplane. You can grate ginger, chocolate, lemon peel, Parmesan cheese. It’s the best.
Randy Osborne, Truckee
Software sales
My wok. You can do the most with a wok, and it doesn’t splatter everywhere.
Brett Freeman, Glenshire
Cook at Fully Belly Deli
My Vitamix, because of its diversity. You can make anything you want. Anything that needs to get done you can get done with a Vitamix.
Sarah Gwinn, Truckee

My spatula. If I’m making quesadillas or pancakes or eggs, I need it.
