Splendid Table host and all around food knowledge savant Lynne Rossetto Kasper joins the Current's Morning Show to talk about the foods she's been tasting lately.

Today, Lynne spoke to The Morning Show's Steve Seel and Jill and shared her list of gadgets that make you a better cook.

1. Spanek Vertical Roaster -- goof proof roast chicken

2. Flat wood spatula -- no burned sauces

3. Oven thermometer -- ovens are always wrong... this makes them right

4. Instant Reading Thermometer -- for animal protein lovers

5. Mandoline -- Thin slice anything fast. This is the secret behind those long strips you see in your Thai Papaya Salad, Potato Pancakes and the like

6. Big salad spinner -- save a bundle and bag your own salad.

Listen to Lynne's picks and see her entire list at The Splendid Table.

You can listen to Lynne on Splendid Table in the Twin Cities every Saturday at 6am and Sundays at 10am on MPR News.
