Fancy Panz Portable Serveware That Dress Up Your Foil Pans
Fancy Panz Portable Serveware That Dress Up Your Foil Pans

Fancy Panz is a really neat concept. Instead of serving food in a disposable foil pan, place the pan in a Fancy Panz to dress it up. Don't get me wrong, I love and use aluminum pans for all of our big family gatherings. But they do look tacky. That is where Fancy Panz comes in.

You simply place your aluminum pan into this decorative open frame gadget, and cover it with a foil. When you are ready to serve the food, you simply remove the foil acting as the lid and serve on to the waiting plates. Fancy Panz comes is a variety of colors to match your decor.

This particular kitchen gadget comes with a removable riser. This riser gives you the flexibility room of working with two sizes of foil pans. This also includes a bonus foil pan and a plastic spoon. These pans are dressed up in a way that they can be used in any gathering. Whether you are going out for a picnic, an office party, BBQ party, or you do general event catering.

No hustle needed when thinking of ways to carry away food. This feature allows you to carry your food without spilling or even crashing the pans even in cases where you stack things up on each other. I recommend this gadget for its portability feature and for the fact that the pans maintain the temperatures of the foods you carry until you serve them up.

Greens and Herb Vegetable Stripper

I love fresh greens, but it takes a while to clean and cut them, especially stripping the leaves from the stalks or stems. This must have kitchen gadget, strips everything from kale, collard greens to thyme in a matter of seconds. It is the perfect gadget for making kale chips if you are on healthy diets.

The newer model comes with built-in stainless steel shears that make it effective when trimming and freshly cutting herbs from a bunch easing the hustle of chopping small bunches at a time. Another great feature of this kale stripper is that it is easy to clean and store in your kitchen.

I recommend this gadget as it saves time for me when chopping up greens and it is easily stored.

Vegetable and Food Mill

The secret to my amazing sweet potato pie is using a ricer to strain the sweet potatoes. My little ricer has served me well but it only holds 1/2 of a sweet potato. This food mill can hold several potatoes, cutting down my preparation time significantly.

A food mill is a gadget that can prove vital in your kitchen when you want to grind or puré foods like soup and sauce. It has stainless steel bowl that proves ideal for handling hot foods and preventing stains.

Its grinding discs come with three functions depending on whether the food is fine, medium, or course. Its support legs also fold in easily making it easy for storage when not in use. The discs are spring loaded making them easily detached and reattached.

This gadget deserves to be on this list in that it greatly makes less work for you and it is easy to use. Even if I only use it to make my pies, it is worth the price!

Chop to Pot Foldable Plastic Cutting Board

My 2 complaints of my wooden chopping board is that it is bulky and I always spill when putting the chopped ingredients in a pan.

If you have similar problems with your traditional chopping board, then this gadget solves those problems. Its polypropylene hinges easily folds up into a chute when you squeeze the handle in order to effectively guide food into a pot.

This gadget is on my list because it helps messy kitchen users not spill choppings on the floors, is safe enough to be put in a dishwasher, and it is compact and does not eat up your kitchen space!

Pineapple Peeler Corer and Slicer

I love fresh pineapple, but hate the cost of the pre-cut fruit at the supermarket. I never considered cutting a pineapple myself until I saw a video on YouTube demonstrating this neat tool.

This gadget makes coring pineapples a breeze and then the detachable wedge device cuts the pineapple into cubes in seconds. I know many of you have a traditional corer. But the addition of this wedge, makes slicing and dicing pineapple a one step process.

All parts are dishwasher safe making for a super easy clean up!
