If you enjoy cooking at home and prepare healthy meals, what are (or is) your favorite/ most useful tools?
I start: the mandoline slicer and the cordless mixer. |
Air fryer |
A set of mini-spatulas from Williams-Sonoma. I use several of them for multiple tasks every day. |
The Joseph Joseph spatula here: https://us.josephjoseph.com/products/uni-tool-gray?_gl=1*det60g*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwh4-wBhB3EiwAeJsppKbTQQ2NpM2tVxU-_0Tl33UbwxrEkeNC5FV14xG7z5Bb7mMt0TQT7hoC7iIQAvD_BwE
And then, this isn't really a gadget, but I buy the little frozen squares of garlic and ginger that Trader Joe's sells. Makes my life SO much easier! |
I'm confused by the photos in this one. Where do the holes go? My most important tool in the kitchen is my good knife, but for gadgets, I love my KitchenAid mixer with grater attachment and also my instant pot and blender (both stick and regular). My food processor broke and I am in the fence about replacing it or just making do with these tools. |
Vitamix
Stand mixer Great set of knives Knife sharpener Salad spinner Espresso maker and grinder |
For the longest time I refused to buy a citrus juicer because it seemed silly and it is easier enough to squeeze a lemon in my hand. Then, somebody bought me this and I absolutely love it. Just makes me happy yo use it. It is sturdy and the color makes me smile.

I have a yellow lemon squeezer that I love, too. I also use it to separate egg whites and yolks, lol! |
Love my oxo strawberry huller |
Betty crocker pizza maker |
A tiny rechargeable garlic chopper. It is just amazing. I chop ginger, garlic and nuts and that thing is my favorite. A single charge lasts 2 months |
Immersion blender, microplane, and these little serrated paring knives (can’t think of the name). They will cut anything.
|
Immersion blender with whisk and food processor attachments - it's so much smaller and easier to handle and clean than my food processor, blender, and stand mixer. Now I only have to pull the big ones out for really large jobs.

A good, sharp knife and a nice Dutch oven are all I need. Everything else is a mess to clean and useless. Regular kitchen stuff is all people need: a cutting board, a nice heavy stainless-steel pan, and pots and pans. I never use any gadgets.
I don't do smoothies either; I just eat whole fruit. |
Potato peeler. |
