A kitchen houses hundreds of things from cookware, to prep tools, to the food itself. But among it all, there are only a few that pass the “you-need-this-now,” test. From those that can make your cooking experience more efficient, enjoyable, and convenient, here are a handful of cool kitchen gadgets to help make your life simpler.
Hand Blender
The KitchenAid Hand Blender, also known as the immersion blender, is a handy gadget for blending soups, sauces, and smoothies directly in the pot or container. The corded design means you don’t have to worry about charging or battery life. It provides reliable power and is always ready to use when you need it – and speaking of power, this compact device has a durable motor strong enough to tackle ingredients, ensuring smooth and consistent results.
Vegetable Chopper
Be honest. Who among us enjoys chopping veggies, especially for a laborious stir fry dish? (*No hands are raised*.) A vegetable chopper will slice and dice in a fraction of the time. The gadget ensures uniformity in the size and shape of the chopped vegetables. Cutting carrots, celery, and broccoli by hand can sometimes pose risks of injuries, especially if you’re not too confident in your knife skills. A chopper minimizes the need for direct contact with sharp knives, reducing the risk of accidents and making it a safer option for anyone to use.
Kitchen Torch
If you’ve been trying to achieve the perfect crème Brule, we’ve got the gadget for you. This kitchen torch provides a focused flame that allows for precise heat application, giving you control over the intensity and direction. Featuring a gas flow regulator dial to easily adjust the flame, the torch can create a continuous flame up to 6 inches long with a temperature of 2370°F. Plus, the built-in finger guard protects you from burns and extreme heat while torching and browning.
Electric Kettle
Designed to boil water rapidly, the KitchenAid Electric Kettle uses electric heating elements to heat water much faster than traditional stovetop kettles, saving you time and energy. Simply fill it with water, press a button, and wait for the water to boil. When your water is done heating to your desired temperature, easily remove your kettle from the base to your dining room, office – wherever you need it to go. It’s a hassle-free brewing experience!
Vacuum Sealer
Help prevent the growth of bacteria and mold on your food by vacuum sealing perishable foods. Extend the life of your leftovers by creating an airtight seal while preserving freshness and flavor. The Mueller vacuum sealing system has two selectable modes to provide your food with the best possible preservation based on the type of food you want to seal: choose the dry setting for solid food items and the moist setting for simmered or steamed food.
