The answers to today's Strands, game #524, are CORKSCREW SPATULA MIXER ZESTER SIEVE WHISK SPANGRAM: KITCHEN TOOL My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

The first thing I did today was to search for the word kitchen, as it seemed obvious that it was what Gastronomic gadgets was referring to.

Beyond this, the rest of the words were hidden in plain sight, but I particularly enjoyed CORKSCREW revealing itself corkscrew-style. Yesterday's NYT Strands answers (Friday, August 8, game #523) DUKE COUNT HAWK DIZZY CANNONBALL YARDBIRD FATS SPANGRAM: JAZZ CATS What is NYT Strands?
