5 Kitchen Gadgets I can’t Live Without

I mentioned how I appreciated learning how to cook and how it should be something that anyone should learn how to do. I know cooking is not everyone’s calling but I highly recommend it. I’m loving it! I get to switch roles from being a career woman during the day and a domestic goddess after work and the weekend.

Since learning how to cook, I’ve come to appreciate kitchen gadgets I can’t live without and I’d like to share them with you:

1. Saute Pans. If you’re starting out and budget is tight, all you need are a couple of saute pans and you’re good to go. You can use these for frying, stewing or boiling. Very versatile!

2. Strainer. I love cooking pasta and a strainer is a must-have for me to ensure I get rid of all the water. I can also use it for straining flour and what have you. See, lots of uses for it!

3. Chef n Garlic Zoom. I don’t like the smell of garlic on my hands so this little gadget is a lifesaver for me. Because I love cooking asian food, garlic is an ingredient that I use all the time so for me to be able to mince and chop garlic without touching it and getting all smelly from it is something I’ve come to appreciate.

4. Electric Jug Kettle. I grew up in a house where boiling water is synonymous to breathing. My parents were big coffee and tea drinkers so we always have the kettle on the stove whistling it’s annoying tune. Thank heavens for an electric jug kettle, it make boiling water so convenient but it also makes the kitchen more pleasant to be in because we don’t have the constant noise of the whistling kettle to deal with.

5. Ring Pull Can Opener. This is one of my best purchases ever. I’ve got long nails and I always break them whenever I pull the lid of these kinds of cans. Since having this little gadget, goodbye broken nails and hello to convenience!

These are just 5 of my favorite kitchen gadgets that I use ALL the time. There are more of course. What about you? What are the kitchen gadgets that you can’t live without?
