Michael Ruhlman has a collection of kitchen stuff that's pretty solid and usually goes on sale around the holidays. The "bad ass egg spoon" is great, and not just for eggs. It's my go-to slotted spoon.
I have the mixed-size set of offset spoons (basting spoon and two larger serving spoons) and like them as well. I also have the straining cloths (which are great) but they're apparently out of stock and have been for some time.
The Acaia wood paddles and the meat mallet are on my "buy next" list. Just waiting for a coupon code...
Was not sure where to post this. I might consider it a very late Christmas present or a somewhat early and platonic Valentine gift. Now I feel all that I really need is a gold plated, velvet lined utensil holder for them. They really are quite beautiful and the egg spoon is a thing of beauty that seems perfect for the job. Life is good. I had no idea it was possible to be this excited about a bunch of spoons. But I am.
