This post is the first in a series that highlights useful kitchen tools and efficient cooking and baking tips; when possible, these tools and tips will emerge from the week's round of recipes.
A TIP Use a teaspoon to scrape the skin off of fresh ginger; not only is this method faster than using a knife, you will sacrifice less ginger to the process. And you get bonus points for throwing the ginger peels into a freezer bag in which you store veggie scraps for making stock!
A TOOL If you do any baking at all that requires a rolling pin, this Silicone Rolling Mat from King Arthur's catalogue really cannot be beat: it provides an instant clean surface wherever you place it, its concentric circles allow you to roll out your naan, tortillas, and French Tomato Tart crust with ease, and if you need to roll dough for pretzels, challah, or Swedish Lucy Buns to a certain length, the sides are ruled, too.
