Check out our new kitchen tools collection!

Try before you buy! Interested in seeing how a kitchen tool works before you get your own? Don’t want to buy a specialty cake pan for just one birthday celebration? UCPL is excited to offer a new kitchen tools collection, featuring cake pans, an air fryer, an ice cream maker, a waffle and donut maker, an Instant Pot, a spiralizer, and a collection of tools for kids.

With the exception of the cake pans, all of the tools come in a kit with a cookbook and utensils, such as an ice cream scoop or spatula. A full list of what’s included in each kit is available on browser cards at the circulation desk on the first floor, while the full collection can be found on the second floor near the entrance to Youth Services.

Funding for this collection was provided by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, as administered by the Missouri State Library, a division of the Secretary of State.
