Product of the week - cooking equipment

I've mentioned before the great variety of goods available in the US and here are some of the cool cooking things I have purchased. Starting at the top left and going clockwise: roul-pat (red and white mat), herb cutter, breading trays and egg rings. The roul-pat is a non-slip silicone mat that is non-stick so it is used for rolling doughs, icing etc. The great thing is that you don't need to flour the bench anymore, just the rolling pin. You can press out the dough on it, wrap the roul-pat around the dough and refrigerate. Then when ready you just get it out of the fridge and roll out the dough. The herb cutter is a great little machine that has 4 blades that you roll back and forth on herbs to cut them up. The three breading trays link together neatly and are great for preparing schnitzels. The egg rings have flip up handles which makes for easier handling. Ok so none of these items are essential cooking items but they will make life a little bit easier and cooking a little faster.
