5 Innovative Kitchen Appliances to buy this Dhanteras
Dhanteras is round the corner, and planning for the new purchase has begun in every home. While mom wants to buy new kitchen ware, dad wants to buy a handicam. Bro thinks its time for a bike for him, and I am considering buying an ipod. Before I go on further, a bit about Dhanteras.
Dhanteras is an Indian festival two days before Diwali, every year. It marks the start of Diwali and is celebrated to seek blessings of goddess Laxmi. It is an auspicious day, when people buy gold, silver, kitchen accessories or anything that can be considered as acquiring wealth.
Though jewelry and kitchenware are the most popular purchases on Dhanteras, there are other things also that you can lookout for; like you can buy idols of Goddess Laxmi, or you can get a new vehicle, or can look at gadgets and hardware accessories or may be home decor items. All of these are considered to be auspicious purchases. It is also a nice day to make any other important investment that you have long been planning to. Dhanteras is the ideal time for setting up businesses, commencing new projects, housewarming, deciding wedding dates, buying cars and jewelry. Exchanging gifts on this day is an extremely popular custom, and therefore, markets are flooded with special gifts for Dhanteras. After jewelry, kitchenware is the most preferred purchase for Dhanteras celebrations, and I would like to highlight some of the new, innovative electric appliances that are finding their place in many of the households these days and making the lives of lakhs of women better around the world.
Some of the suggestions for this year's Dhanteras shopping are:
Hand Blender
Hand blender is a sleek and handy equipment that can be used for blending liquids and semi-liquids, chopping and mixing. It is not a very expensive item, perfect for a small kitchen. It comes with a removable handle, which makes it easy to keep and is easy to clean. It can be used for multiple purposes like, chopping and grinding onions, tomatoes, nuts, making purees and shakes and other mixing and blending needs. If you still dont have it, do not wait; get one this Diwali.
Fish Grill
Fish grill is one of the many kitchen grillers, specifically designed for cooking delicious fishes. It is one of the most essential appliance in a kitchen where non vegetarian food is the choice of people. The appliance is perfect for braising and searing the entire fish.
Egg Cooker and Poachers
Egg cooker and poacher is a simple to use appliance for boiling eggs and making a poach. Just add water according to the included measuring cup, poke holes in the eggs with a poker and turn it on. Egg cookers have slide in trays to prepare poaches. Just the perfect kitchen accessory for all eggitarians, specially bachelors 
. Perfectly boiled and perfectly poached eggs without any kind of a mess. These cookers are usually compact and easy to clean; just an easy rinse and its done.
Tea Pots
Tea pots need no introduction. Just go out in the markets and find the one which looks good. They are the perfect tea table accessory to make a nomal cup of tea, a royal experience.
Garnishing Set
Garnishing is a wonderful way to make food look better and appealing. The act of garnishing can be simple to elaborate and there are various garnishing tools available that make food taste even better. For example: Apple slicer Citrus stripper Corn Slicer Ice Cream Scoop Lemon Squeezer Pineapple slicer, and many more.
Also I came across a very innovative kitchen equipment, with a glow light, that allows you to cultivate herbs, vegetables, and flowers aeroponically (no soil needed) on your windowsills in half the time. With this equipment you can grow small herbs or vegetables inside your kitchen only. Ideal for both novice and expert gardeners, Usually it is compatible with any type of seeds. I could not find about it much, but I am very curious to understand how it works. If easily available, it is a great kitchen equipment !

Does anyone out there have a really good recipe for hollandaise sauce?
I'm a early 30's husband/dad and very limited in the kitchen. I don't make many things, but what I make is always really really good. Which brings me to my question. I'm not just looking for hollandaise sauce, I'm looking for the best hollandaise sauce pretty much ever. My wife bought me an Egg Poacher earlier this week, and I love eggs benedict, so if ever there was a time to learn how to do it, that time is now. Hope you can help.
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon cream
1 cup (1/2 pound) melted butter, cooled to room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of cayenne pepper
Preparation
Use a small, thick ceramic Bowl Set in a heavy-bottomed pan, or a heavyweight Double Boiler. Off the heat, put the egg yolks and cream in the bowl or upper section of the double boiler and stir with a wire whisk until well-blended — the mixture should never be beaten but stirred, evenly, vigorously and continually. Place the container over hot water (if you are setting the bowl in water, there should be about 1 1/2 inches of water in the pan; in a double boiler, the water should not touch the top section). Stirring eggs continuously, bring the water slowly to a simmer. Do not let it boil. Stir, incorporating the entire mixture so there is no film at the bottom. When the eggs have thickened to consistency of very heavy cream, begin to add the cooled melted butter with one hand, stirring vigorously with the other. Pour extremely slowly so that each addition is blended into the egg mixture before more is added. When all the butter has been added, add the lemon juice or vinegar a drop at a time and immediately remove from heat. Add salt and a mere dash of cayenne.
