My TOP Recommended Kitchen Gadgets

AIR FRYER

My Air Fryer is the number one secret weapon in my kitchen. It's the absolute best way that I'm able to get dinner on the table on extremely busy nights, while making it healthy for my family.

I cook absolutely everything in my air fryer, from frozen fish, fish sticks, shrimp, reheating crab rangoons, vegetables and even squash, meat, and just about anything in between. Just this week, I made pumpkin pie with graham cracker crust and it turned out great! Needles to say, I love this air fryer!

INSTANT POT (8-qt)

I also cook just about anything in my instant pot. It's a great option for cooking meat from frozen to soft and juicy in just under 30 minutes! The 8QT pot is a great size for making other meals, such as soups without running out of space.

REUSABLE OIL SPRAYER

I don't say this lightly, I LOVE this oil sprayer so much. It's one of those products I use many times throughout the day. I've gifted it to family and friends, and they're even gifted it to others as well. It's a budget-friendly gift that knocks it out of the park!

Extra notes: I love being able to fill it up with just about any oil, avoiding chemicals in other sprayers. I keep mine filled with avocado oil typically and use while baking, cooking eggs, or air frying.

GOOD KNIVES & A KNIFE SHARPENER

Talk about speeding the dinner process! When you're working with a good knife, my favorite is Henckels, and keep it sharp, you end up speeding up the chopping process significantly. Those ripe tomatoes can finally stay in tact and not squeeze everywhere (haha)!

Henckels knives are amongst the best out there, and using their knife sharper keeps them in tip-top-shape! This is my go-to knife if you're looking for just one, and not a set.

VEGETABLE CHOPPER

A vegetable/onion chopper is one of those products that I invested in within the last year and I wish I had bought it sooner! I use it to cut just about any fruit or vegetable for roasting, sauteing, or a salad. This vegetable chopper cuts small pieces to bigger chunks.

It truly takes all the effort out of chopping!

OVER THE SINK STRAINER

I have this over the sink strainer up most of the time in my kitchen. It's perfect for using throughout the day to wash fruit and veggies. And, while the sink is filling up with dirty dishes, you can avoid the mess with this elevated option!

FISH SPATULA

The skinny design of a fish spatula makes it so much easier to flip just about any food in a pan! I use it for tons of my fish recipes, but also for flipping pancakes, eggs, and other food that are packed close together.

GARLIC PEELER

If you're like me and regularly use a head of garlic, instead of peeled garlic, than this peeler is going to be your friend! Simply place the gloves inside and roll to peel off the skin. Easy peasy!

GARLIC PRESS

Less chopping and less time wasted while you're busy prepping a delicious meal. A garlic press is a much needed investment in the kitchen to speed things up! Go for an all metal one, or a good brand to make sure you're getting the best product to work with.

LEMON SQUEEZER

This lemon squeezer makes it much easier to squeeze every last drop out of lemons, as well as strain the seeds all in one step, and without dirtying your hands. Triple win!

Filet Knife

Everyone that works with meat and seafood regularly needs a good filet knife. It will make cleaner cuts which makes it a good upgrade gadget in every kitchen.

Wireless Thermometer

No more guessing is your fish is done! This wireless thermometer sits inside your filet and you're able to set a timer to go off once it reaches temp. This is a game changer when you're working with fish, or any meat for that matter.

SILICONE OVEN MITTS

These are easily wiped after each use! Long are the days of sticking dirty mitts in our drawers.

FULLY AUTOMATIC ESPRESSO MACHINE

I can’t recommend this coffee machine enough. We’ve had it for over 4 years and love it more every day. It takes whole beans, or has a by-pass for individual servings of ground coffee. Long are the days of buying coffee pods, cups, etc. Our cup of coffee is made fresh every morning with an extra shot of espresso, with just 2 little buttons ;). Plus, it's how we make the best espresso for this creamy espresso martini!

CAST IRON PAN

SMALL, PERSONAL-SIZE CAST IRON PAN - I use this for morning eggs.

REGULAR SIZE - Great for steak and sautéing veggies.

CAST IRON BRUSH - this has a handle that makes cleaning so much easier!

CAST IRON HANDLE COVER - Save your hands from burning and place a cover on the handle!
