Top 10 CSA Kitchen "Must Haves"

http://jcarrot.org/wp-content/uploads/veggies2.jpg
The wonderful Tuv Ha’Aretz Community-Supported Agriculture group at the JCC Houston came up with this Top-10 list of must have kitchen items in order to maximize the produce from your CSA share. Turns out, the list is pretty handy for any Jewish food enthusiast - feel free to share with friends and family.

Top 10 CSA (& Jewish Food) Must Haves
1. Evert-Fresh Green Bags - The best bags for storing fruits and vegetables. Possibly ever?
2. Slow Cooker - Slow cook your veggies into a delicious Shabbat dinner (or lunch!)
3. Salad Spinner - A handy salad spinner makes your weekly influx of lettuce and leafy greens a snap to clean - or at least a lot easier.
4. Freezer Bags - Freeze those fresh, local corn kernels to enjoy all winter long.
5. Food Processor - Pesto, butternut squash puree, homemade soup…mmmmm
6. A Food Steamer - Steam your raw veggies into a delicious dinner in no time.
7. An (Immersion) Hand Blender - The best thing to happen to soups since the spoon.
8. An Ice Cube Tray - For freezing that pesto (or tomato sauce, butternut squash puree…) into easy-to-store-and-reheat cubes.
9. Space to put everything (yes, this can even be done in the city!)
10. A Large Stock Pot - For soups, sauces, boiling pasta…you can never have enough big pots around.
