My Favorite Kitchen Gadgets

 

     There are some things that I use in the kitchen that not only help me cook my meals better but help me save time and make cooking so much easier. On the list below you find the items and why I think it is such a great tool to have.

Crock-pot: I love my crock-pot. It is the best cooking tool for busy people. You can throw something in there and go to work and come back to a meal ready to go. My friend also turned me on to the liners that you can put in the crock put that makes cleaning even easier! One time I made a whole chicken in the crock-pot that lasted me almost a week.

Emersion Blender:  I just recently bought one of these. It’s a great alternative to a regular blender. When you are making things like soup for example, if you need to blend everything it is easier to use the emersion blender then to transfer everything to the regular blender. Also some come with a cup that you can make smoothies in, or my sister used it to make homemade baby food for her kids.

Wire Rack (cooling rack): Most people know this as a cooling rack, to put cookies on, bu7t it can be used in so many great ways. I like to use mine to bake chicken wings on so they get crispy on all sides. Or you can put vegetables on them to make chips.

Non-Stick Pan:  There is nothing more important or basic that I think every kitchen needs more than a good non-stick pan.  No one likes when their eggs (or anything for that matter) sticks to the pan. It also makes clean up so much easier. An added bonus is that you use less fat to cook with because the pan does not need that much.

     These are the four main kitchen/cooking gadgets that I would recommend every house have. I truly believe it will make cooking so much easier and more enjoyable for you.  I would recommend picking one you don’t have that you think you would use the most and get one and see how much you enjoy it!
