re: Right now, what is your favorite item you use to cook with?

The mini spatula that came in this set.



So much easier than a full size.

I love my Instant Pot and I've been using it a lot lately

Current new toy is a master built gravity smoker 1050, really enjoying so far Altho its a little fuel hungry compared to my Primos

I bought multiple enameled cast iron dutch ovens from Dillards for $40/piece. There is literally no difference except I don't baby the $40 as much.

Been on a cucumber kick. Muddled with some salt, hendricks gin, and Fever tree tonic makes for a killer summer drink. I never even liked gin until recently.

if you like cucumber, try Smirnoff cucumber infused vodka. Like you, I really enjoy a cucumber/gin gimlet during the summer. tried the Smirnoff on a whim (its only $13.00/bottle, so who cares) and was pleasantly surprised. Not too shabby at all.

My rebuilt smoker.
