        Potato Ricer. Also great for squeezing liquid out of blanched spinach or grated cucumber.

          Mines simple: a small desert bowl.

          • Super easy way to make fancy steam poached eggs - pour a thin layer of water on the bottom of a pot and place small bowls on top (Coat each bowl with oil beforehand). crack an egg into each bowl, turn on heat and place lid on. Cook until white is firm but yoke runny. Serve on bread with avacado or butter
          • place on top of butter to keep fresh
          • cookie cutter! (Good for other doughs too)
          • mini terrarium for micro greens (if bowl is glass)
          • your own unique measuring unit that no-one else will understand
          • upside down as a stand for raising other dishes up
          • 1 person baking vessel - bake things in it
          • scooper
          • lid for jar
          • pot for herbs

            Great multitasker!

            You can also use it upside-down in a larger bowl to let things drain of excess oil or water. The liquid collects under the small bowl.

                I used to use a colander as a makeshift salad spinner. Clean the greens, put them in a colander, put the colander in a plastic bag, and then swing the bag around over my head in a circle. It got the job done. Now I just have a salad spinner.
