Amanda Blum enjoys trying new recipes and
experimenting in the kitchen, but like many
home cooks she’s reluctant to buy expensive
and bulky kitchen appliances.
So she was delighted to learn about Kitchen
Share, a nonprofit near her home in Portland,
Oregon, that loans out kitchen equipment.
Bloom, who likes to preserve fruits and
vegetables at this time of year, found a name-
brand pressure canner there that makes the task
easier and safer.
Since then, she’s become a regular borrower,
checking out Kitchen Share’s blender, ice cream
maker and pressure cooker.
“This is such a huge resource,” she said. “It solves
the problem of having to buy all these things.”
