My Favorite Kitchen Gadgets

By Nick Frykas

These days, there is a bewildering number of kitchen gadgets and utensils out there. While a lot of them may be unnecessary and take up extra space, quite a few of them can make life a lot easier and help prepare food faster. Here are my favorite seven kitchen tools and why I like them.

The Bread Maker: This modern miracle is one of the best kitchen tools out there. I love getting up in the morning to the smell of freshly baked bread, that was prepared for me by this kitchen gadget while I was sleeping. Just add the ingredients, set the timer and go to bed.

Coffee Maker with Timer: If you plan ahead, you can use this handy tool to make coffee for you that will be ready when your alarm clock goes off. Of course, it can be used without the timer and it is pretty useful that way too.

Good Kitchen Knife Set: The cheap knives have handles that fall off, sometimes the blades will rust and they don't stay sharp as long either. If you want a worthwhile set of knives you will have to pay a little more, but you will be glad you did!

Different Sizes of Plastic Food Containers: These days, you can get low cost plastic containers at the supermarket for a reasonable price. They are microwave safe and are excellent for leftovers, freezing food or taking it for lunches.

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 quick way to toast sandwiches and smaller items, these little ovens don't replace a regular kitchen oven. They make great garlic bread and work well for mini pizzas.

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.
