Mini Porcelain Jugs from Thailand

Another cute find by Sala

Mini Porcelain Jug

"I saw these cute little creamer jugs on the plane to Bangkok; they were being used for the airlines dinner service. It was love at first site. I just had to find these little cuties when I got off the plane in Bangkok! Luckily, I didnt have to search hard. I found them at a kitchen goods store in the Emporium Mall. The sweetest part was they were just over a buck!

These jugs are perfect for serving milk along with tea or coffee. Ive also used them for honey, sauces etc. Here's a post where I've used it."

Lemon Reamer (Err.. What's a Lemon Reamer?)

Yep! That's pretty much the reaction I had when I saw Sala's email. When I saw this gorgeous lemon squeezing thingy on her Jalapeno Lemonade post (which, btw, have kickass photos!), I knew I wanted it to be up here in MMKT.

In Sala's words:

"When I first went looking for this kitchen tool, I asked the store assistant for the "thing you squeeze lemons with". "What thing?" she asked. I made a vigorous juicing gesture with an imaginary lemon on one hand, and this tool in the other. Thats all it require for her to point me in the right direction. Its called a lemon reamer or citrus reamer. It makes squeezing juice out of citrus fruit really easy. It comes in aluminum as well, but I like the wood one better."

(sidenote: Sala's pics are so gorgeous!)

Where? Sala got it from Bed, Bath and Beyond. You can buy Online from Amazon (wooden reamer) or buy using this link on Amazon (aluminium reamer).

Wooden Spoons - Dress Up Your Kitchen & Photos!

Sometimes you need to take a step back in life and appreciate the small things. Smallness that brings in joy and beauty - like wooden spoons do to a kitchen. I started using them mainly on my non-stick cookware but now I use them with pretty much any cookware. They are handy, easy to maintain and add a special touch to your food pictures.

Here's an example of that. Sala's gorgeous picture of her disposable wooden spoons, priced at 99cents (USD) for a pack of 6 from the World Market.

This pretty looking stack was sent by Mriganayani. Here's what she has to say about her collection. "No matter what kind of pan I use, I always use wooden spoons for cooking and stirring and scraping. I bought some of these from the shops in Guruvayoor temple when I visited there last time. The container that holds these is actually a wooden pickle jadi with a cover. But, I love to use this as a wooden spoon holder! They stay on my counter and look pretty. Each of these wooden spoons cost about Rs. 15  each. And the base was about Rs.600".

Here's a picture from my archives of Tomato Spinach Pulao featuring the coconut shell bowl and fork (the spoon is missing in the pic) that I bought for about Rs. 50 a pair.

Pie Pots - Dress Up Your Pies and Soups!

If something is versatile and pretty, that definitely gets my vote. And with these pie pots, what's there to not like?

What? Oven Proof Pie Pots
Where? World Market, Washington DC
Price? USD 3.99 each

 In her own words - "They are oven proof so great for things like pot pie or french onion soup. Their size is just perfect for individual portions. Who doesnt want a steaming pot full of something served in their own little personal pot! They came in red, yellow and green and I just couldnt resist the red!"

Thanks for sharing such a pretty Kitchen Thing Sala!
