The 10 best kitchen products that make life easier
Cooking and cleaning up the kitchen takes so much time, and is hardly the most enjoyable task. Here are 10 kitchen products that will make these chores so much easier.
1. Compact air fryer
Air fryers are quick and easy ways to cook crispy and tasty food, while also being healthier than a deep fryer. This compact and lightweight air fryer will also be easier to store and then clean when you're done with it. If you're worried it won't be versatile enough, don't be! Air fryers are perfect for cooking all sorts of food, such as fries, veggies, meat, and much more.
Price: $49.99
Why you’ll love this: This size air fryer is ideal for just one or two people, and is much cheaper than larger appliances. However, if you have a larger household, you can always opt for a bigger air fryer.
2. Lomi
Storing all your food waste in a small kitchen compost bin can get stinky. And by the time it's ready to go out to the green bin it can be a real hot mess, which is never pleasant to deal with. Instead, Lomi will store your waste throughout the day and turn it into nutrient-rich dirt in less than 20 hours. That dirt can then be thrown in your green bin, in a compost pile, or mixed straight into your garden soil to feed your plants.
Price: $499.00
Why you’ll love this: Lomi is the easiest appliance to use and the most convenient way to eliminate your food waste. Just throw it all in Lomi's bin, push a button, and wait for it to be done. Once you've removed the dirt, you can even throw the bin in your dishwasher for easy cleaning.
3. Rapid egg cooker
If you're often eating eggs, this rapid egg cooker is a real help, especially since it holds up to six eggs at a time. With this handy appliance, you can take your mind off the eggs while you work on whatever else you need to.
Price: $19.99
Why you’ll love this: While you might assume this egg cooker is only good for boiled eggs, that's not the case. You can actually make eggs however you want with this cooker: boiled, poached, scrambled, and even omelets.
4. Always pan
Needing an array of pots and pans to cook all sorts of dishes is annoying to store in your cupboards and a huge hassle to clean up. Instead, the Always Pan will be the only pan you need in your kitchen. It's nonstick and can be used as a frying pan, a saucepan, a pot, and much more. Whatever you need to cook, the Always Pan can get it done.
Price: $145.00
Why you’ll love this: While most pots and pans you buy are going to come in boring black or silver colors, the Always Pan comes in a wide variety of gorgeous hues. Want a bright red or earthy green on your stove for once? Get the Always Pan in your favorite color and you'll never tire of using it.
5. Cold brew coffee maker
If you're a fan of cold coffee, a cold brew coffee maker is a must-have. Stopping at a coffee shop for cold brew coffee takes extra time, and making iced coffee from regularly-brewed coffee is a slight hassle. And let's be real, cold-brew coffee is just better than iced coffee. Having a cold brew coffee maker is even easier than a regular coffee maker. You just need to fill it up with your coffee and cold water and leave it in the fridge overnight.
Price: $27.99
Why you’ll love this: This cold brew coffee maker has a fine mesh filter to ensure you won't get coffee grounds in your coffee, making it superior to a french press.
6. Food processor
One of the most time-consuming activities when cooking is the process of chopping up food, especially if anything needs to be chopped up finely. A food processor makes prepping food just so much easier and faster. Plus, you can throw most of that food processor right in the dishwasher when you're done, making it simple to clean, too.
Price: $27.99
Why you’ll love this: A food processor isn't only great for chopping and dicing fruits and vegetables. It's also a fantastic tool for baking whenever any type of food needs to be blended into a fine powder.
7. Personal blender
One large blender is fine if everyone in the family is having the same smoothie. However, if anyone's preferences differ, it's a whole thing to have to clean it out just to use it again right away. Having personal blenders means that everyone can make whatever they want for themselves and then clean up after themselves.
Price: $153.27
Why you’ll love this: While some personal blenders aren't as powerful as a regular blender, you don't need to worry about that with the NutriBullet Pro. Anything you throw in there will be as smooth as can be.
8. Single serve Keurig
If you live alone, you may feel that it's a waste of space and energy to have a full-sized coffee maker just for yourself. For people in your position, you can actually get something like this single serve Keurig machine. It'll barely take up any space at all, and you'll be able to cheaply and easily get your coffee every morning.
Price: $99.99
Why you’ll love this: This small coffee maker comes in lots of different colors, so you can choose to style your kitchen however you like!
9. Silicone baking mat
For bakers, just about the worst thing is having your baked goods sticking to the bottom of the pan. One way to deal with that is parchment paper, which you need to tear and fold to fit your pan every time, and then throw away when you're done with it. Instead, this reusable silicone mate is always ready to go as is, and it's super easy to clean.
Price: $13.99
Why you’ll love this: Having mats like this isn't just great for your baked goods, but it's great for your pans as well! With the food coming easily off the mats, and the mat coming cleanly off the pan, you're left with a pan that basically didn't even get dirty.
10. Stand mixer
A KitchenAid stand mixer is every baker's best friend. Mixing a batter for a few minutes, kneading dough for what feels like forever, and trying to whip egg whites to a soft peak are all exhausting on the arms. This stand mixer takes all that effort away and lets you focus on anything else while it's doing all the hard work.
Price: $459.99
Why you’ll love this: KitchenAid is known for its quality, and this stand mixer is no exception. With all the optional attachments available, you can also easily turn this into the one appliance you need in your kitchen.
