I went to Tanger Outlet Center this week to see what I could see. The most interesting store to me was the Kitchen Collection...I just love all the new gadgets they come out with and I love to cook.

This store is packed with everything for the cooks who want a complete kitchen. All the best kitchen tools at the best everyday values.

There was a wall for skillets of every size, griddles and grills, and small appliances galore! I loved the Henrietta Hen egg cooker, she chirps when the eggs are done, $19.99. What a great unusual gift!

You can find tiny loaf and bundt pans for $2.99 and a large selection of silicone bakeware. Cooling racks in all sizes. Plastic containers with separate compartments for veggies and dip complete with a cover and carrying handle just $2.97, now that's a bargain! Also have cake carriers for $4.97. I have never seen a taco tray that holds all the tacos upright and compartments for all the cheese, lettuce and salsa etc., also with a lid at $4.97.

Find a wall of kitchen gadgets, wood knife holders and cutting boards. All kinds of things for pizza making. Trivets and spoon holders, spice racks and expandable wood racks to hold the spices for $14.99.

Lots of cleaning supplies...Plink, a garbage disposer cleaner and deodorizer for $3.99 - 10 treatments.

A section for just cooking in the microwave, bacon cooker, egg cooker and the one I bought is a fish and vegetable steamer for $5.99. I used it last night...works great in minutes!

There were coffee pots, tea pots from clear to all colors. The list goes on and on! A lot of things "as seen on TV". I was tempted to buy the green bags ... they keep veggies fresh for 2 weeks, you get 20 bags that can be used 8-10 times for $9.99. Next time.

This store is located in the Tanger Outlet Mall at 20350 Summerlin Rd. Suite 2110 in Ft. Myers. Phone: 454-6080. Hours: Mon.- Sat 9-9 and Sun. 11-6.

Now the good news! A new Kitchen Collections store is opening in our neighborhood at Miromar Outlets on April 15 in suite #428. There will be gifts and discounts throughout the store for their grand opening. You have a chance to register for a prize worth up to $100.

So mark your calendar for April 15, go and welcome the great new store!

It will be a wonderful addition!
