6 Must-have Modern Kitchen Gadgets

Modern kitchen gadgets are absolute paramount in Today’s kitchen. It is necessary to have smart kitchen items that will cut short the cooking time, make it more fun, and makes our life much easier than it is right now.

There is more to a woman’s life than just assuming it revolves around makeup. Isn’t it? While I just want to mention that I am nowhere near implying that doing kitchen chores is a woman’s only job, Because it is most definitely not. But the fact is that a most of cooking does fall on a woman’s shoulder most of the time. 

This is why they are the ones who are always on the lookout for appliances and gadgets that are smart and will make their kitchen a better place to be in. We have selected most basic and absolutely essential modern kitchen gadgets. 

It isn’t just about using smart technology, but it is also about using what’s possible to save time, resources, and money. So, enough about this because I already know the list that’s about to come makes every person who loves to cook and be in the kitchen excited.

Here are some of the must-have gadgets you should have in your kitchen that are bound to make your life easier. If you already have some of these, you are smart enough, so it is time to move on to the next and buy the remaining ones:

FOOD PROCESSOR​

The list of modern kitchen gadgets cannot start with out a good food processor. The first thing every kitchen geek invests in but would be wrong not to mention in the list anyway. 

A food processor is in the must-have modern kitchen gadgets. The ones with switchable blades or disks should always be in your cabinet.

With the help of a food processor, you can shred cheese, slice pepperoni instead of buying pre-done from the supermarket and save your money.

It can also be used to make your favorite heavy smoothies, mayonnaise, cream cheese, whipped cream, peanut butter. Or you can simply slice your vegetables flat to make a puree.

You can also use a food processor to make dips, pita, or any other smooth and creamy dish that you want. Food processors are also easy to clean, do not fault easily, and can save you loads of time in the kitchen and move in the supermarket.

SLOW COOKER

Another important among modern kitchen gadgets is Slow Cooker. You can save energy when you use a slow cooker instead of an oven to cook a roast, you can easily use your leftover to cook a soup or to make a broth of your choice.

Not just this, but it is also one of the easiest ways to cook a chicken used in casseroles or pot pies.

If you like your meat soft, juicy, and easily falling off your hands, a slow cooker will come to your aid and help you with that too. You will be able to skim the fat off the top for healthier meal alternatives.

If your family is one of those where everyone likes to eat everything differently, a slow cooker will save you the hassle as well. Instead of cooking different things altogether, a slow cooker can be used for a fast meal. Saves you time, money, and gives you the best taste that can be guaranteed.

JUICER

Number 3rd in the list of Modern Kitchen Gadgets is the Juicer. The amount of money that can be saved if you have a juicer at home is staggering. 

The wads of cash you spend every month when you go out and buy that juice or smoothie are stupendously amazing.

If you have a juicer at home, why not cut on that processed sugar, additives, and get a healthy and cheap juice right at your home.

If you don’t have a juicer already, it is about time you buy one. You can’t just use them to juice out lemon and ginger for your recipes, 

but you can also juice out vegetables for dishes of various kinds.

With the help of a juicer, you get the most nutrients that any fruit or vegetable has to offer as they muscle and extract the best juice out. Can’t ever get that by squeezing them with hands. 

You probably waste half the good stuff when you do that. You reduce the fresh waste, get the right taste, and save money too.

Freshly squeezed juices already provide so much nutritional value than any boxed juice would. Cherry on top, they are among the cheapest kitchen appliances, so you are not even spending a lot of money.

Instead of buying so many cartons of juice for your breakfast every morning and not even getting the right nutritious value, why not get a juicer and make the best use of them?

FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS

While most people do not consider them among modern kitchen gadgets or appliance, I consider them nothing short of a blessing. They save time, money, and obviously a lot of your food. You can neatly store your leftovers, baked goodies, and just spices & meat mixes for a long time without worrying about them going bad.

You can easily label them so whenever you open your pantry, you know where you can find what you were looking for in just one glance.

A good set of air-tight containers are a blessing in the kitchen because they keep the oxygen out and the quality of the ingredients and food inside fresh so it can stay the same for long. If you are investing in a good quality product, which is thick and sturdy you won’t have to make another investment for a long time.

RUBBER SPATULAS

Another important gem  from my list of modern kitchen gadgets  item that most people don’t even think about, but if you have rubber spatulas in three different sizes you will be doing yourself a favor believe me. You won’t waste food when you are pouring the last of that butter or cream cheese into your mixture.

You won’t also be getting any clumps in that mixture because the same spatula will easily help you remove those. They are also good for making a good breakfast on the go because spreading condiments, peanut butter, or anything else on your toast, sandwich, or plain bread in the morning won’t take any time.

The rubber spatulas are much better than butter knives or simple spatulas because of their elasticity. When you are batch-cooking or just trying to scrape something off the leftovers, you will find them to be a lifesaver because they will help you do things in a hurry.

When buying one, you can go for those that have an embedded stainless-steel core for sturdiness and long-term usage.

LARGE METAL OR PLASTIC COLANDER

Last on my list of Modern Kitchen Gadgets is a colander. It is another one of those efficient tools that you don’t notice or appreciate much but not a day or week goes by when you don’t use them. They help in draining pasta, sliced potatoes for fries, and vegetables, etc.

They are also good for draining out water from fresh veggies you just got from the store for a quick salad fix.

If you are someone who still uses the ‘I will hold the cover and just pour out the water’, you already know how ineffective that is. I am sure you have already burned yourself from steam a bit of time and wasted that pasta most of the time.

If you get yourself a colander, you won’t only save yourself some time but possibly a lot of potential injuries as well. Not just this, but the pasta or any veggie for that matter won’t taste nearly as good as it tastes when the water is drained properly with the help of a colander.

What’s more is that even if you are getting yourself a good quality one, it possibly can’t be expensive.

I consider these items among very basic Modern Kitchen Gadgets.
