These days, there is a bewildering number of kitchen gadgets and utensils out there. While a lot of them may be unnecessary and take up extra space, quite a few of them can make life a lot easier and help prepare food faster. Here are my favorite seven kitchen tools and why I like them.
The Bread Maker: This modern miracle is one of the best kitchen tools out there. I love getting up in the morning to the smell of freshly baked bread, that was prepared for me by this kitchen gadget while I was sleeping. Just add the ingredients, set the timer and go to bed.
Automatic Coffee Maker: This goes well with the bread maker. Add coffee grounds and water, set the clock and have coffee waiting for you when you stumble out of bed in the morning. Rise and shine!
Kitchen Knife Set: I used to make do with an old set of mismatched knives given to me without a knife block. Some of the handles were loose, and they had to be stored in a drawer. The new set sits on the counter top. The edges stay sharp longer, and the set contains knives for most needs. More room in the drawer, too.
Different Sizes of Plastic Food Containers: These days, you can get low cost plastic containers at the supermarket for a reasonable price. They are microwave safe and are excellent for leftovers, freezing food or taking it for lunches.
Hand Held Blender: Excellent for mixing drinks, whipping potatoes, blending ingredients and more. If you don't have room or money for a canister blendy, find one of these inexpensive mixers instead.
Toaster Oven: A quick way to toast sandwiches and smaller items, these little ovens don't replace a regular kitchen oven. They make great garlic bread and work well for mini pizzas.
Sandwich Grill: If you make a lot of toasted sandwiches at home, this might be a great buy. If you don't make grilled cheese, tuna melts or grilled paninis, then it might not be the best way to spend your money.
These are some of the kitchen gadgets I like to use myself. For the larger items, maybe you can borrow one to test drive it before you buy. That is what I did with the bread maker. Our food containers, coffee maker and hand blender see daily use, and the toaster oven and sandwich grill once or twice a week. All in all, a good investment for my family. Happy cooking!
