Looking to step up your cooking game? Or are you trying to create your favorite dish with an extra little added bit of ease? Well look no further! You asked and we delivered - for the best kitchen gadgets you need in your kitchen, we spent the time researching, testing, and reviewing items that we thought would make your life easy-peezy! From flashy new appliances to kitschy little gizmos, we compiled the best list of items to work with any budget! Here are iTouch Wearables list of "The Best Kitchen Gadgets You Need In Your Kitchen!" :
The Instant Pot
When doing research for this piece and finding the overall best appliance for the American kitchen, there is no doubt about it, but the Instant Pot has become the “it” appliance. What is surprising is that electric pressure cookers existed long before the Instant Pot entered the market, but they help gain momentum for the appliance and made it nearly as profoundly popular as slow cookers were for previous generations. In choosing an Instant Pot, we recommend the 6-quart DUO60, as it is one of the most popular models. It comes with seven cooking modes (pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker saute/browning, yogurt maker, steamer, and warmer) and 14 preset cooking programs that make it simple to cook dinner from scratch. Perfect for parent's who go through a busy work day and need some quick and easy!
OXO Good Grips 3-In-1 Avocado Slicer
Avocados can be a bit tricky to open if you aren't 100% confident with a knife. However, we may have just found that perfect tool for you! If you find yourself constantly reaching for this nutritious vegetable you might want to invest in an avocado slicer. It will make the job safer and easier, as the cutting edge is plastic. Besides opening the avocado, you can use it to remove the pit and slice the avocado while removing it from its shell, which might just make it the perfect tool for you and your kids! We believe that the OXO Good Grips 3-In-1 Avocado Slicer might just be the best on the market - check it out yourself!
Benriner Mandolin
Any mandolin slicer makes for an amazingly useful tool in the kitchen, but the Beriner Mandolin goes far and beyond! It is easy to store since it doesn’t have bulky legs or other attachments that get in the way. A knob lets you adjust the thickness of your slices for whatever meal you may be making. Extra cutting blades are included for making different julienne cuts as well. Keep in mind that the blades on this vegetable slicer are extremely sharp, so it should be used with the finger guard (included) or a cut-proof glove. Extra care should be taken when cleaning as well to ensure safety for continued use.
Kitchen Aid Immersion Blender
If you love to cook and make dishes like soup, gazpacho, or even yogurt, an immersion blender might just be the tool for you! It can do just about everything a counter-top blender can do, but it has a few extra tricks up its sleeve. Immersion blenders are just the thing you need to blend drinks, emulsify dressings, make mayonnaise, and puree soft vegetables. It is an amazing tool for blending soups and sauces right in the cooking pot. The Kitchen Aid Two-In-One Immersion Blender includes a lidded blender cup with side measurements, but you can also use your own container. The blending arm is removable for easy washing without the motor and cord getting in the way, and it comes in a wide variety of colors to match your other KitchenAid appliances!
Coffee Grinder
You don't have to be a barista or even a coffee-lover to get the most out of your grinder! The KRUPS Electric Grinder makes for a versatile tool that can grind just about anything - whether it will be coffee, beans, nuts, herbs, and spices!
When Looking For Gadgets
If you are trying to find the perfect kitchen gadget for your home, consider these steps:
Functionality - While kitchen gadgets can seem as if they can make your life easier, you need to consider how much you'll really use it. If it'll help you with a task you perform on a regular basis, it may be worth it. On the other hand, if it's a gadget you don't expect to use often, you may want to think twice about making the purchase.
Size - One can only have so many kitchen gadgets, and the bigger they are, the more space they occupy. If you have lots of storage space, size might not be the most important factor, but if yours is limited, you want to choose your gadgets with care.
Durability - Make sure to look at quality when selecting a kitchen gadget. Higher-quality products will hold up better over time—and they can also make any task easier and safer to perform.
