As a not-so-great cook, little things really impress me in the kitchen. Any thing that I come across that makes cooking easier I love. Most things are quite obvious to normal people but when it comes to me and cooking, there's nothing normal.
During my travels in Asia one night, I discovered a little secret for shredding cheese. I was cooking with Peter (from Hungary) and we needed shredded cheese. We had a block of cheese, but no shredder (which i hate anyway because they are impossible to clean and easy to cut your fingers on). He quickly pulled out a potato peeler and peeled away at the cheese---genious! Not only did it make deli-thin perfect slices, but it was easy to clean, and fun!!
I love learning new uses for things. Traveling and interacting with other cultures always brings a new perspective to the table. Maybe the peeler thing was old news to you, but it was new to me and I love it!
