Episode 27: Top 10 Kitchen Essentials with The Brooklyn Kitchen
When I graduated from college, here's what I had in the way of kitchen gear: a small cast iron skillet, 2 blenders (one from my parents, one from my grandma) and a large pot. When I moved to Brooklyn, I slowly started gathering other pieces...a plastic measuring cup here, a wooden spoon there, etc. Slowly but surely, most everything I brought either broke, shattered or exploded (minor incident with a microwave, don't ask). Had I only had the video below where Harry Rosenbloom - co-founder and owner of The Brooklyn Kitchen in Williamsburg, BK - lists out the 10 essentials for a starter kitchen, I could have saved myself a lot of money...and clean up time.
Read on for a BIG DEAL....
Here's the most special thing about this video: the deals, the deals, the deals!! Watch to the end and you'll see Harry, generous man that he is, is offering 10% off all items in our Economy Bites Starter Package from now until the end of the summer. Items in the package include:
-a spatula
-a wooden spoon
-measuring cups and spoons
-a pyrex
-mixing bowls
-a multi cooker
annnnd
-a really fabulous Chef's knife
And that's not even everything! All you have to do to
buy is go to their
website
and enter the code 'EBites2010' at
checkout.
In total, the Economy Bites starter package goes for $266. If you buy it from Thebrooklynkitchen.com between now and June, you get $46 off, so it's only $220, which is much closer to $200 then $300 which is GOOD.
Think of all the people you could help. Think of the
graduates, the chronic take out eaters, the
urban-dwellers in tiny apartments whose lives would
change with this package. Think of you at 22 with
hand-me-down kitchen tools. How amazed would you have
been if everything you needed to learn to cook was
delivered to your doorstep? This is the gift of the
Gods, people, BUY IT NOW!
Thanks again to the great folks over at The Brooklyn Kitchen. Check out their store - recently named Best Gourmet Grocery by New York Magazine - and their Labs where you can take one of a number of inspired cooking classes on the cheap. If you're in the New York area, it'd be to your advantage to go by and take a tour.
Hope you all enjoy! Back with recipe and cooking next
week!
