Gorgeous Rachael Ray Measuring Cups (How do I Not Already Have These?!?)

By

I may have mentioned once or a thousand times how obsessed I am with Rachael Ray products, shows, and recipes. Heck when she had the Food Network series where she ate out on $40 a day, I never missed an episode even though I would never try such a thing. Truth be told, I very seldom eat out, but if I did, I wouldn’t do so more than once and there’s NO way I’d be able to keep it at $40.

So why watch such a show? Two words: Rachael Ray. Love her – always have.

I collect her cookbooks, kitchen gadgets, pans, bowls, utensils, etc. Even though I am such a big fan of her cooking shows, the reason I collect everything with her name on it isn’t due to that… it’s simply because her line of products is the best, period. Apparently she has a very high standard for anything with her name and lovely face attached – smart.

I also love vibrant colors and her products are always so fun, happy, cheerful, and colorful.

I was on Amazon earlier, ordering a new set of deep purple moppines and I saw the gorgeous Rachael Ray Cucina Kitchen Measuring Cups, pictured here. I, literally, asked my cat Guennie, “How do I not already have these?!”

She had no answer.

Rachael Ray Fancy Boy Grinders: 24/7 Seasoning and Pink Himalayan Salt

By

 Rachael Ray Fancy Boys Grinders

Rachael Ray Grinders (Love them!)

So there I was shopping in my local Kroger recently, minding my own business.  I was in the spice aisle, grabbing a box of baking soda (something I’m almost always low on) when a couple of colorful orange topped grinders on the top shelf caught my eye.

Right away, without even seeing the picture or name on the front, I knew they were Rachael Ray. As you may know, if you read the food blog regularly, I’m a HUGE fan of all things Rachael Ray – so it only makes sense that my radar would go off.

Naturally they both went immediately into the cart.

One of my new found treasures is the Rachael Ray’s 24/7 Seasoning Grinder, (Amazon link) on the left in the picture above. The other is the especially lovely Rachael Ray Pink Himalayan Salt Grinder (Amazon link).  I have used them religiously since first bringing them home and absolutely swear by them.  They add so much flavor and personality to everything and, at the risk of sounding insanely girly, they look sooooooo pretty sitting on the counter.

I’ve seen these two particular grinders in several stores around town, and I just assumed that’s all there were.

Boy was I wrong.

A quick search on Amazon turned up SCADS of these beautiful Rachael Ray Fancy Boy Grinders (Amazon link) and yes, as a matter of fact, I must have each and every one. Check them out in the slideshow below – click through any that catch your eye.

Review: Rachael Ray Moppines

By

Rachael Ray MoppinesA while back my husband ordered me a set of red Rachael Ray Moppines. Since I’m unapologetically addicted to all things Food Network and all things Rachael Ray, I had seen the moppines online and on television before but had never gotten around to ordering them for myself.

The upside to never getting around to something is that sometimes a hero (or heroine) on a white horse will order it for you.

Rachael Ray products are always exceptional, whether they’re her cookbooks, magazines, casserole dishes, kitchen tools, or moppines. If her name and smiling face are on it, you need it in your life.

What are Moppines? They are all-in-one oven mitt and kitchen towel. Clever, so very clever. The large kitchen towel has pot holders built in two of the corners, allowing you to use them to handle hot pots without burning yourself.

The waffle weave fabric is incredibly absorbent, so I’m able to sponge up water on the counter with it or dry washed dishes then simply hang my moppine up to dry. I find myself tooling around the kitchen with my moppine slung over my shoulder, so it’s there when I need it.

As someone who is forever burning herself, what I love most of all about the moppine is built in oven mitts. The oven mitt pockets are padded and lined with terry fabric to insulate hands from the heat. Instead of searching around for two pot holders, you simply put one hand into each of the moppines pot holders and remove the casserole dish, cake pan, cookie sheet, or pizza pan.

A few night ago, I found another way that the moppine is a must-have. I was removing a past dish from the oven with my moppine and a little sauce spilled over the side of the dish. Instead of landing on my arm or clothes, the piping hot sauce landed on my moppine.

I’ve never claimed to be very graceful in the kitchen.

See Rachael Ray Moppines to see the different colors of moppines available and to grab a set for yourself. I promise you, you’ll love these.

So much so that you’ll wonder how you ever functioned without them.

EDIT: Since this review was first published (in 2010!), I have had every conceivable color of these moppines and have used them religiously. The ones in my rotation now are my favorite color – purple. I’ve found that it’s a great idea to keep a moppine hanging near your microwave oven. It is so lovely to actually remove a plate from the microwave without it feeling like you just groped the surface of the sun!
