The Best Double-Duty Kitchen Gadgets by Victoria Phillips in Community, Shows, March 13th, 2012
At the beginning of Worst Cooks in America’s third season, Erica Weidner caught our eye by using scissors to cut up a bell pepper. We then asked you: What other gadgets have you used to cook up a dish in the kitchen? More than a hundred people responded with their go-to double-duty gadget techniques. They were so unique, we couldn’t choose just one. Here are our top two favorites:
1. Julie Lonkey uses a wide-blade drywall knife to get a smoother finish with buttercream on cakes.
2. Krista Lucken listed a few double-duty items, but using cupcake liners to keep pepper from escaping the pepper mill in the cabinet is pretty spectacular. Plus, when she measures fresh ground pepper, it gets ground right into the cupcake liner and then poured into a measuring spoon with no mess.
This was our favorite budget-friendly anonymous tip:
- Remove both ends of a tuna can, wash and then use it to cut out biscuits, mini pie crusts and more.

I enjoy reading through a post that can make people think. Also, many thanks for allowing me to comment!
I seriously love your blog.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you develop this amazing site yourself? Please reply back as I’m wanting to create my own personal blog and want to learn where you got this from or what the theme is named. Appreciate it!
Pretty! This has been an incredibly wonderful post. Many thanks for supplying this info.
It’s nearly impossible to find well-informed people on this subject, however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
That was an interesting idea what Krista Lucken was doing with cupcake liners. Everyone of us can use our small kitchen gadgets intelligently for double-duty work. Nice reading..thanks for sharing.
As an after thought, I use metal coffee cans (if you can still find them) for making bread, especially Boston brown.
