Awesome Kitchen Gadgets from Trudeau Review


Everyone thinks its funny that my ex-husband and my current husband are both chefs (stranger still, the owner of my husband's restaurant is the ex-wife of my ex-husband's boss. Did you get that?-LOL. That's life in a small town). The reason I bring this up is because I think there's a reason why I'm drawn to chefs. I'm terrible in the kitchen. I spill everything I touch and I've actually burned water. But the right accessories can mean the difference between a decadent dessert and a messy disaster.  Trudeau is an amazing company that has dozens of unique creations that makes life in the kitchen a breeze. They were nice enough to send me a gift basket filled with their newest products which can really improve your culinary experience.




Lately, it seems like more and more wine companies are trading in the cork for a screw cap.  While it is a little easier, you lose some of that ceremonial feeling. But thanks to the Trudeau's Twist, you can bring back that excitement. At at the same time you won't have to worry about your hands slipping. Just put the Twist on top on the bottle, and...twist.  The cap pops off easily and it just looks nicer that the plain old screw cap.






To improve the aroma and taste of your wine, check out the Aroma. This nifty little device injects air into your wine as you're pouring, giving it a more full bodied bouquet.  Just add it to the top of the bottle when your ready to drink.. When you not using it, it comes with a convenient stand to help keep it in perfect working order.







When you're on the go, the Evo Hydration Bottle is just what you'll need. Its different from other water bottles. It has a unique leak proof design. You have to push the nozzle with your mouth in order for the water to be released.  The water can't come out the bottle without pressing the nozzle, even if you turn it upside down. This is perfect for mom's with little ones who might get their hands on it and spill it all over themselves, which I know my kids have done on more than one occasion.






My husband has a lot of things on our kitchen counters, so space is a commodity.  Anything that can save me some room has an advantage. So I love the 2 Mills in 1 salt and pepper mill. Turn it left for pepper and right for salt. The steel grinders are rust proof and grinds both to a fine powder. And nothing is better than freshly ground herbs and spices.







The perfect mix is another great two in one product.  Add both your oil and vinegar into this one unique bottle. The larger area is for the oil and then there is a smaller insert for the vinegar.   It distributes the condiments  in a six to one ratio of oil to vinegar. You can also use the clearly marked buttons on the top to pour only one or the other.






Don't you just hate when you try to poach an egg, and it gets ruined somewhere between the pan and your plate.  Well the Trudeau Silicone Single Egg Poacher solves that problem. You just but some water in the trying fan, then add the device and put the egg inside of it to cook. You are guaranteed the perfect poached eggs every time. 







Their No Mess Utensils solve another messy problem. Don't you hate trying to get those last few olives or cherries out of the jar. With the No Mess utensils make its easy to reach down into the recesses of any container.  The openings in the bottom allow the juice to stay in the jar while the fruit comes out. Plus they can attach to the side of the jar if you have family or guests coming back and forth to help themselves.






Yet another awesome two in one design is the garlic press. This little machine washable gadget is both a presser and a slicer so you can get your garlic just right for every recipe. I am horrible at chopping anything and have the scars on my hands to prove it. So not only does it save time because you get the perfect pieces in seconds, it can also save a trip to the emergency room if you're a klutz like me:)







Last, but certainly not least, are the mixing bowls. I think these are my favorite item. First, even though they are made of plastic, they are beautiful. You would think they were marble until you touch them. But the other thing I love is the angled tip that allows for easy pouring. Every time I make brownies, half the batter winds up on the table. But not anymore! Thanks to Trudeau, there are no more spills. And since they are machine washable, clean up is easy
