Xcookage's Favorite Things

[ilovelucy0276]

A Braun chopper with a stick blender that attaches is the absolute best. No need for a food processor. Please find a new word for 'awesome' And please do not substitue 'sweet'.

[cloudsurfer999]

i love your hair!! :) awesome channel

[MakeupWave]

@backflipsRfun07: if you went to culinary school, shouldn't you know how to spell KNIVES?

[Nikki56505]

@MakeupWave  lol

[sm3xy66]

I actually think cutco is great. And there scissors are amazing!

[backflipsRfun07]

never buy a cutco knife they are expensive and not worth the money, they are incredibly poorly made knifes, a good knife to get is forshner, or any german brand knife there is a list of them. Best websight to go to is knifemerchant , any knife there is good and will last you a life time just remember to sharpen them on a knife stone once a month or so depending on how much you use it. I went to culunary school i know my knifes

[MakupStarlet]

This video is perfect! As a young wife, I have been needing ideas for kitchen products that will work. THANK YOU!!!

[huggawood]

I love your style, keep the videos comming, please!

[albionangel]

Thanks Mary :) def. Going to get the garlic press. Looking forward to more of your vids :)

[jujubee315]

Yay for Cutco! My mom has a set of Cutco knives and I have a set of Henckel. I would choose her Cutco over my Henckel any day!!!

[TheVittleVlog]

Great vid!! Enjoyed all the products!

[xoimagineusox]

So glad you're back! I'm moving out soon and will definately be making some of your recipes! My boyfriend can't wait!

[AllieWeaver8006]

Thanks so much for your videos. I have noticed that comments you make always seem to be from the "glass is half full" stand point, and I want to let you know that I really appreciate that. Thank you for the time and energy you put in to teaching us what you know, and to responding to our messages and comments.

[xcookage]

@AllieWeaver8006 Your very welcome.

[aknpnk187]

I agree with you on the tongs, you can use them for EVERYTHING! I have the silicone tipped ones though, no scratches!!

[clpdaddyo717]

such a great vid!! ty!!

[uberduberpapi]

i absolutely love your channel! please make more videos!

[xthexcolorxredx]

What would be the advantage to stainless steel measuring cups other than durability? Because my mom has had her plastic measuring cups for almost twenty years and they haven't cracked!

[xcookage]

@xthexcolorxredx My thought on the stainless measuring cups is that they won't stain, peel or chip. I have a bad habit of putting my plastic measuring cups in the dishwasher. Not a smart move.

[CuzImaLadie]

@xthexcolorxredx Also - plastic tends to not get as clean as steel or glass.

[soonfully]

What kind of knife did you say that was had hearing problem on that. I have that chopper too I also like a good paring knife. I have these weight watchers spoons that are4 half cup and full cup spoons. Your video was helpful am gonna look into that garlic press

[xcookage]

@soonfully Cutco they are usually sold by students trying to do a fund raiser for some sort of trip or something. That is where I bought mine. It is a good knife, there certainly are better, but much more expensive.

[MisAJGraveS]

I am new to ur channel, but I really like it! Could you please talk more about ur experience with "The Pampered Chef", and ur opinion on there products. I was thinking about getting into direct sales and everyone keeps telling me to go to "The Pampered Chef". I plan on hosting a party so I can check out the product since I'm not that familiar with it, but I would still like some honest impute from someone who has sold it, and I really trust your opinion. Thanks!

[xcookage]

@MisAJGraveS I love Pampered Chef. I was a (salesperson) for them years ago for a few years. I had a great experience with the company. You can plan your own schedule and have a monthly committment (I have no idea what it might be these days) and you work as much or as little as you like. It is a good company and they stand by their products 100%. I have a ton of their products and have replaced only a few over the years. I once had 7 - $1000. shows in a row. it sells itself!  GO FOR IT!

[MisAJGraveS]

@xcookage Thanks! 

[edenbainbridge]

i got two lovely knives for christmas, i have a fantastic set already but these were a great addition. clearly my boys want me to cook more :)

xoexo

[eugie73]

Does anyone know where can I get the spatula online? Can't find that same model. Thanks in advance and thanks Leesha's mommy for the wonderful video.

[xcookage]

@eugie73 try "The Pampered Chef" website.

[eugie73]

@xcookage True. I'm so idiot, just found it. Thanks!

[THEPinkRuby]

great video!

[kenzeelee]

Great Top 10 Mary!!! I'm so excited to hear that you're going to start making more videos -- I love them!! I agree with the knife, a good knife in the kitchen is a MUST! Another favorite of mine is a rubber coated whisk (for use in NS pans) -- love them for mixing cream sauces or just about anything really. Looking forward to your future videos!!

[LynnM3973]

Great idea! I have a cooking channel and should probably do a video like this. I have a ton of favorite things to make life easier int he kitchen. It will be hard to pick only a few!! Glad you are back making videos. Love them.

[MissILoveGreenALot]

I love my french press coffee maker, my Alessi pan, my Kitchen Aid blender (crushes ice like no other :D) and my chopping knife..

[wicketyboo]

I think i'd like to buy a food chopper! I've often struggled with dicing onions and thought "if only I had a food chopper like mary...!" I love my potato peeler. It is a really cheap one but it does so well! I live for mashed potatoes, so it's my best item!  That and my stewing pot for my tatie 'ash! proper Lancashire grub!!

[saveoursandwich]

I have that same food chopper and I lovelovelove it.

[itsageoffrushthing]

So glad that you're getting back into making videos again! Can't wait to see some new recipes! Hopefully not all winter meals though, as it's summer here now so I'm doing tons of salads and stuff.

[agirlneedsagun]

My favorite kitchen things are my juicer, my coffee grinder.. my cheese grater.. and all of my wooden spoons.

[LIZALIZALIZABETH]

I'm a 16 year old girl whose been following Leesha since the day she started making your videos. She introduced me to you in one of her make up videos.. and I think you are absolutely amazing! and although I dont make the food you demonstrate, I still watch it cause it's really interesting! I ask for moree!! (:

[wc3nExiZi]

i am SOOOO glaad your back into the videos :D

[HaddonTwp]

[xcookage]

@HaddonTwp lol. I know, just a bad habit. Thanks.

[jackieg002]

I love my Keurig Single Cup Coffee Maker!

[NikkiTheLittle]

I love my cheese grater! Its also great for zesting and ginger. Also love my non stick griddle and leatuce knife. :]

[devifrost]

Im so so glad you started doing videos again!!! I totally have to agree with you about the food chopper. Best thing ever!

[freakespionage]

I am a college student and my resolution this year is to learn how to cook! Thanks for the awesome videos, can't wait to see more from you!!

[eyeshadowjunkie89]

[kevsgrl09]

thanks for the insight. I am getting into cooking more and can't wait to see more of your videos

[ILovetheTrio]

Great video! I would say one of my essential baking and cooking tools is a scale!

[ladiikastic]

@ILovetheTrio i wonder why............?

[ILovetheTrio]

@ladiikastic Having a small kitchen scale is essential to have if you are a serious baker because measurements given in grams or ounces are much more accurate then measurements given in cups.
