My favorite big bowl is this green Emile Henry bowl. Also at hand is my newest and probably least expensive kitchen tool, the pastry cutter. Yesterday, John and I went to the Flemington outlet stores to return some things to L.L. Bean, but there's a Le Crueset outlet there where we bought John's grill pan at a steal, so we tend to stop in when we're there. This was on sale for $2.65. I didn't even know it until the shopgirl rang it up. I never knew how useful these things were until I tried making this biscuits. I'm sure I'll use it again for other things where I don't want the fats to melt.
