I love to cook but, like most people, I don’t have a lot of time. So I can really appreciate any item that promises to make my life just that much easier. And I’ve found quite a few that I love… so today I’m sharing them with you. Here goes! 10 amazing tried-and-true kitchen gadgets that I would recommend to anybody who likes to be in the kitchen. Â
1. This is my all time favorite… a pasta pot and strainer in one! Which means one less dirty dish. It’s made well, and has a nice non-stick surface on the inside. $33 on Amazon
2. Crock pots save so much time you guys… if you don’t have one yet, go get one now! $24.99 on Amazon
3. If you drink a lot of wine, a small wine fridge can be handy. It can be kept in the dining room so you don’t have to get up when you’re entertaining, and it also frees up regular refrigerator space. $116 on Amazon
4. Along with the crock pot, the Nespresso machine is the other gadget that I use most often. Like two or three times a day. Everyday. The “Pixie Clips” machine is pictured above. $175 on Amazon
5. I also use my Dustbuster all the time. It’s so much quicker than lugging the big old vacuum out when I inevitably spill something on the floor. $76 on Amazon
6. The SodaStream is another great gadget for anybody who loves to drink carbonated water and soda. $80 on Amazon
7. We use our juicer a lot during the warmer months, especially when the local farmer’s market opens. Get one from Hamilton Beach. $70 on Amazon
8. We have a windowless pantry that’s very dark, so I bought one of these motion-activated lights from Hallomall. So handy. $14 on Amazon
9. So maybe a potato ricer isn’t an everyday gadget, but we do use ours a lot… especially during the holidays. It makes for a darn good bowl of mashed potatoes. Get this one from OXO. $25 on Amazon
10. If you’re a pet owner, this airtight food storage set is a must-have. And it rolls for easy feeding. $23 on Amazon
