USEFUL KITCHEN UTENSILS?

AN ODE TO MOTHERS With Mother’s Day right around the corner, our firm would like to shout out all the great moms out there! Your care, compassion, and hard work deserve more than one day of recognition, but we hope you enjoy your special Sunday however you see fit. Being in our line of work, we’ve been able to meet some incredible mothers over the years. Since we’re dedicated to defending the rights of the injured, we often represent families facing truly difficult situations. While working with them to get the compensation they deserve, we see the ways family members come together to support one another throughout the process. Many times, moms become real superheroes, especially when it comes to helping their kids regain a sense of normalcy after an accident. Those moments when a parent goes above and beyond for their kids are deeply inspiring, and there’s no better reminder of why the work we do matters. We understand that there’s nothing more emotionally and financially stressful than trying to get a child the care they need. That’s why Seth Smiley, having been hospitalized We’ve all seen those commercials for kitchen utensils or items that claim to make our lives easier, while in fact, they do the exact opposite. Some of these products can be helpful for children or the elderly who might struggle with motor skills, but healthy adults can save a few bucks and some space in the utensils drawer by not purchasing these items. Pizza Cutting Shears: While it can be irritating to discover the pizza you ordered wasn’t cut through completely, there’s nothing wrong with using a regular pizza wheel to finish the job. The Pizza Cutting Shears may appear to save you time, but they ultimately take up so much space and are so clunky that you’re better off without them. Roll ‘n’ Pour: This plastic rocking device can help young children or the elderly pour themselves a glass of milk from a heavy gallon. However, there’s nothing wrong with able-bodied people using a bit of muscle to achieve the same. Chef’n Peel’n Onion Peeler: While far from taking the tears away, this onion peeler allows you to cut through an onion’s outer layers and peel away the skin. Instead of spending $15 on this cutter, use one of your kitchen knives to get the exact same result. Butter Spreaders: One of the most commonly commercialized products is better butter spreaders. Whether it’s the Fox Run Butter Spreader, One Click Stick Butter Cutter, or Butter Mill Butter THE INSPIRATIONS FOR OUR FIRM

Dispenser, using a butter knife is ultimately easier and won’t clog up your drawer space. Fruit and Veggie Slicers: Cutting spherical or cylinder-shaped foods may be difficult, but cleaning out the spaces between the thin blades of these slicers can be even harder. Save your time and cash by using a kitchen knife.

Twirling Spaghetti Fork: A fork that twirls your spaghetti? You bet! While this might be a fun utensil for kids to use, it’s far from useful in everyday spaghetti eating. If the size of the fork doesn’t make it difficult to eat, the noise certainly will. If you have one or more of these utensils in your kitchen drawer, don’t feel bad! A lot of us do. Every home has one of “those” drawers. But you can’t fault entrepreneurs for trying something a little out-of-the-ordinary, even if it didn’t work out.
