If you’re a busy person it’s really important to find ways to be as efficient and productive as possible. And if you don’t really
enjoy having to preparefoodeach day for everyone in your household or don’t have the time, you need to make the
most of the little appliances and gadgets that make food preparation easier.
There are so many interesting and occasionally odd options out there these
days, it makes sense to consider a few of them. Here are some
of the best right now, that you might want in your kitchen, or want to gift to someone you know for theirs!
Corn Kernel Stripper
Everyone loves corn on the cob, but it can be a
little messy. Or maybe you have young children that can’t eat it off the cob quite yet, but you want them to have some fresh corn. If you want to eat it off of the cob, the best way to do is using a
corn kernel stripper. These make it so easy to remove the corn swiftly in one
fast motion. It’s a just a circular blade that can be pushed down the cob in
order to remove the cob. These are becoming more and more popular and it’s
because they offer such convenience, especially if you live in the midwest where you can get fresh corn from local farmers!
A Clear Toaster
Clear toasters make perfect sense, so why has it
taken this long for them to be sold to customers? Seriously these things are genius. Because of the clear body of
the toaster, you can see perfectly how well toasted the bread or waffle or bagel is and when you
should remove it. Everyone likes their toast their own way. Some people like it
close to burnt and other people prefer it very lightly toasted.
Panini Press
This is a great quick option when you need to
make dinner for everyone but don’t have the time or patience to get it done.
You can find a good one by reading thisthis list of Panini Perfect. And once you have your new panini press, you’ll find it so easy
to produce delicious hot sandwiches for the whole family when you’re short of
time but still want to create something tasty. We absolutely love having paninis with fresh mozzarella and basil for dinner a couple of times a month. It’s a fresh way to use up leftover chicken, too!
A Fridgecam
This is a novel little device, but it can
actually be very useful for people with busy lifestyles. Fridgecams are simple
cameras that can be put inside the refrigerator and connected to your phone.
You can then look at what’s in your fridge when you’re out at the shop and want
to check what you already have in your fridge. It might not be the most
essential kitchen appliance but it’s a nice addition. And you won’t end up like me with 3 maple syrup bottles and 2 parmesan cheeses in your panty! Oops!
Herb Scissors
Lots of people like to use fresh herbs when
they’re cooking, and that’s whereherb scissorscan be very useful. These scissors have one flat edge on which
you can place your herbs on and chop them rapidly and easily with the blade of
the scissors. In terms how you use them, it’s no different to use an ordinary
pair of scissors so there’s nothing difficult about it. I absolutely love fresh basil and want to try growing it inside this winter. These scissors would be an incredible addition to my kitchen utensils!
As you can see, there are lots of great kitchen
appliances and gadgets on the market right now. Did you even realize some of these existed? I certainly did not! Each of them will add something
new and important to your home or as a great gift for someone else, so don’t hesitate to make these purchases now. Or keep them in mind as a gift for someone next year!
