Over time, I have become something of a kitchen gadget aficionado. I love to try new things as I discover them and I thought it would be helpful to keep track of my favorites here in case it’s of interest to anyone else. *
Small Gadgets
Tofu Press
I have tried a few tofu press and this is my favorite because it catches the water that is pressed out so it can sit in the fridge overnight instead of the sink
There are three different settings to progressively squeeze out more water.
Bagel Slicer
This cuts the bagels cleanly in half with a sharp blade, but it is sturdy and safe enough for my kids to use.
This will help take a load off school-day breakfasts
Strawberry Huller
I was given this as a gift and at the time, I thought it was frivolous and unnecessary. How wrong I was! With this you can quickly and cleanly remove the strawberry leaves and core leaving as much usable strawberry as possible. This is when the alternative is chopping off the top part of the fruit entirely .
Strawberry Slicer
I think I use this more than anything else in my kitchen. This makes very light work of fruit salad preparation, oatmeal garnishing and anywhere else you might like to have neat, uniform strawberry slices.
Kitchen Appliances
This beauty cancook at two different techniques, temperatures and durations simultaneously.
Each drawer can be double stacked thanks to the extra, optional grill shelf
It can be programmed to finish cooking both drawers at the same time
Really fast warm up time

Pressure Cooker
My favorite feature here is the ‘delay start’ which means that I can wake up to steaming hot oatmeal having set it up the night before
There are up to 5 programmable buttons to save your favorite cooking configurations
Huge capacity is perfect for batch cooking
Dishwasher safe inner container
