Herbs Scissors - A Handy Kitchen Tool

I keep a clean pair of scissors in the kitchen for my herbs. Although I have seen herbs scissors in stores, it has never occurred to me to try them since I just used to think "ah they are just another pair of scissors."

Apparently not.

In Priya's words "Recently I bought this pair during my vacation, in a super market after the vendor's demonstration. Usually I never trust these sorts of gadgets but once I bought these I got hooked to them. It works tremendously well for chopping any sort of herbs, sometime garlic cloves and even onions. Its really very handy and now I cant stop chopping herbs with them!"

Thanks for sending these in Priya! Any converts or users out there?

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!)
