Cooking using the appropriate tools certainly makes sticking to the required cook time simpler. Every meal has a prescribed cook time, which you can only adhere to if you utilize the proper equipment. Otherwise, you'll have to test your meal every now and again to see if it's properly cooked. Which is where I come in.

I think we all can confidently say that cooking is simple, after all, almost every gadget you could need has been invented. But imagine if I told you that you might not know about a few that could change your life.

 

Many of us are spending more time in the kitchen these days as cooking is a great way to pass the time, get creative, and try new things. Now I know you might think you don’t need any advice on what to have in your household, considering at the end of the day, it is YOUR household. But accepting and embracing change allows you to adapt better to change and become more flexible. Change can be a lot harder on someone when they resist and reject it. Which leads me to the purpose behind this article. Below are 5 new kitchen gadgets you may not know about but could make your cooking easier!

Kmart Pull Chopper

RRP $6.00

 

You can buy a Pull Chopper from Kmart to quickly cut vegetables, peppers, fruits, or cheese with minimal clutter or dishes.

The best part is that the entire compartment must be closed and secure in order for the blades to move. Making your favourite meals prep time half duration you normally expect. The Pull Chopper is half the size of a standard knife, safer than your tiniest knife, and produces better results than any other knife you own.

Clip-on Food Strainer

RRP $9.99

 

Do you still use a huge, heavy-duty bowl strainer? If this is the case, you will never go back after you have purchased the clip-on food strainer. The device itself is designed to fit any pot, bowl, or pan. It is as simple as clipping one side and then the other to make it secure and ready to use. Due to its smaller size when compared to the traditional strainer, this strainer eliminates the aggravation of holding both the pot and the strainer at the same time and provides for simpler dish cleaning.
