"As 2010 comes to a close, it&amp;#039;s time to reflect back on the best and worst moments, people, photos, and things of the past 12 months. As I put together this list of my favorite kitchen things, I thought about how these particular items are indicative of our times.  1. Back to Basics: The redesigned Revolution LeCreuset silicone spatulas ($12 to $16). They can take the heat when you&amp;#039;re scrambling eggs, feel good in the hand, and look pretty too.   2. Top Chef: Everyone wants to be one. Start by developing your knife skills with the Zwilling J.A Henckels Complete Book of Knife Skills: The Essential Guide to Use, Techniques and Care by Jeffrey Elliot and James P. DeWan ($34.95).  3. Home Entertaining: We&amp;#039;re having pizza parties right in the kitchen. Make sure your pie has a crispy crust with the Emile Henry Flame Pizza Stone ($50). Unlike most, it has handles, is a dream to clean, and can come to the table.  4. Gourmet Ice Pops: Make your own with the Zoku Quick Pop Maker ($50) in just minutes.  5. Sleeker Kitchens: You don&amp;#039;t need industrial looking equipment to cook like a pro. An electric induction range has elements that create a magnetic field that transfers energy directly to cookware, bypassing the cooktop, and maximizing energy efficiency. Like gas, it offers very quick response...turn off the heat and cooking stops immediately...so if you&amp;#039;re melting chocolate or preparing a delicate sauce like hollandaise you can burning them. Plus, the surface itself stays cool to the touch, eliminating both a possible burn hazard and burnt-on spills that are hard to clean up. Freestanding all induction range from Samsung is quite affordable at $1999.  6. Kids in the Kitchen: Give little ones easy access to snacks with the Samsung French Door Refrigerator ($2,999) with a drawer that opens up at just their height.  7. Cupcakes for Grownups: For a sophisticated look with a minimum amount of effort, use Reynolds Baked for You cupcake liners ($$2.59 for 36). Cupcakes are so popular regardless of what the trendologists say, that they&amp;#039;re getting two spots on this list.  8. Cupcake Mania: Bake, take and serve them with the aptly named Good Cook, Bake, Take, and Serve ($20) a pan, carrier, and stand in one.  9. Aging Baby Boomers: For years I&amp;#039;ve been loyal to the Oxo Good Grips Swivel Peeler. But just recently I&amp;#039;ve transferred my allegiance to the Microplane Easy Prep Straight Peeler ($9.95). Although it looks weird, it really reduces the stress on your hand when carrot salad is on the menu.  10. Customization: What&amp;#039;s unique about Calphalon Unison Cookware ($45-$600) is that the nonstick surfaces are different depending on the pan. There&amp;#039;s a slippery one on the omelet skillet, a rougher-textured one on saut\u00E9 pans designed for browning. I have to confess that what I love is the construction. They sit well on the stove, have dark surfaces that don&amp;#039;t stain, and handles that are a pleasure to grasp. Did I forget any of your favorites? Let me know.
