Cooking can be time-consuming and tedious, especially if you are in a hurry. Even if you are not in a hurry, who really wants to spend an hour or more in the kitchen cooking after a long day at work? While for some, cooking can be fun, but for most of us, when we get home from a long day of work, we really want to relax and not “work” more in the kitchen. So, what kitchen gadgets will help you save time in the kitchen? Here are my top 5 kitchen gadgets to help you save time.
Instant Pot
I use this a lot. The Instant Pot is a multi-functional electric pressure cooker that can cook a variety of foods quickly and easily. It can be used to cook rice, stews, soups, and even yogurt. With the Instant Pot, you can cook your meals in a fraction of the time it would take using your old way of cooking.
Air Fryer
I really don’t think that my air fryer ever shuts off. But this I do know, make sure to buy a bigger one than what you think you’ll need because once you start using one, you will wish you had more room to cook in. The Air Fryer is a kitchen gadget that uses hot air to fry food, eliminating the need for oil. It is a healthier alternative to traditional frying, and it can cook food quickly and evenly. With an air fryer, you can cook everything from chicken wings to french fries, pizzas, potatoes, and much more.
Mandoline Slicer
A mandoline slicer is a kitchen gadget that can be used to slice fruits and vegetables quickly and evenly. It is particularly useful when making salads or other dishes that require thin, uniform slices of vegetables. Who really wants to spend all that time cutting vegetables?
Salad Spinner
A salad spinner is a kitchen gadget that you can use to dry lettuce and other greens quickly and efficiently. Whether you do it at mealtime or after grocery shopping and before storing it in the fridge, this kitchen gadget will help save you some time for sure.
Immersion Blender
An immersion blender is a handheld blender that you can use to puree soups, sauces, and other liquids directly in the pot. It is a convenient alternative to a traditional blender, as it eliminates the need to transfer hot liquids to a separate container. This means, it also helps to save time on doing the dishes!
In the end, kitchen gadgets are made to help reduce your time in the kitchen, so why not take advantage of that? I know I can use all the extra time I can get. Happy Cooking!
