Everyone who cooks can use some of these handy kitchen gadgets in their own home. While you can get by with a bare bones kitchen and a few old pots and pans,in this day and age you don't have to. The items in this list can free up some of your time, help you make delicious meals, store leftovers and even make the kitchen a fun place. So without further ado, here are some of my favorite kitchen gadgets. I hope you like them.
Bread Maker: Imagine getting up in the morning to the smell of freshly baked bread, ready for you to take out of the machine and slice up for toast or for lunch sandwiches. And all you had to do was load the ingredients the night before, then set the timer.
Automatic Coffee Maker with Timer: How about a big cup of coffee first thing in the morning, right after you get out of bed? If you set the timer on one of these and add your coffee grounds and water the night before, you will have a perfectly brewed pot of coffee waiting for you when you stumble into the kitchen.
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.
Food Containers: A set of plastic food containers is great for storing leftovers and such. They are also great for vegetables like baby carrots, and for berries. You can also freeze food in them.
Immersion Blender: These hand held gadgets can be placed in large drinking glasses, pots, or mixing bowls. You can mix drinks, baking ingredients, gravies or even whip potatoes. They take up less space and are easier to clean than traditional blenders as well.
Toaster Oven: A toaster oven can cook toasted items with toppings, like garlic bread and mini pizzas, as well as make toast. Small baking projects are possible too, if you don't want to or can't use a larger oven.
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.
So there you have it, my favorite kitchen gadgets. Before running out and buying all of these items, think it through and make sure you will actually use it. It might end up like that food dehydrator I have stored in the closet, wasting space. Our bread maker, coffee maker, knives and food containers are always being used, while the sandwich grill and toaster oven are a once a week kind of item. In general, they are all a good investment for my kitchen. - 15634
