The Pan – Is the Always Pan, and I love it! – I was so hesitant at first, but now I am truly on team multi-tasking for an everyday nonstick skillet. Check it out here. It comes with a wooden spoon that is perfect for flipping and stirring and stores right on the pan.
Boxed Shredder – My carrots came pre-shredded however, I shred my own for many recipes when I have the time. I always use a boxed shredder for big jobs, easy to clean and less bulky than breaking out the food processor. Find several cool color choices here!
