Maybe it’s because I’m getting older or maybe it’s because I no longer want to spend hours in the kitchen but what is for certain is that I want kitchen gadgets that make my life easier.  Proper, useful kitchen gadgets that make the kitchen a pleasant place to be.  Of course I don’t want gadgets that do everything, just ones that enhance my joy of cooking and baking.

 

First up I want a food blender.  While hand beating a batter for a cake mix may be good for my arms I want a food blender that does it in no time at all.  A food blender that is also ideal for making smoothies, making salsa and blending much more with a touch of a button!

Secondly, I want a slow cooker.  I want to be able to put a stew on in the morning and come home to the luscious wafting smell of a home cooked meal without having to wait until 9pm at night!  A slow cooker would most certainly save me preparation time and cleaning one pot has to be a great thing too!

I would also love a mandoline.  Although can I have one that doesn’t slice my fingers off?  They are such useful gadgets but they scare me to death!  Maybe I should say I want a safe mandoline.  It would certainly help with slicing the potatoes for the top of my cottage pie.

I would love an Iced Coffee Machine because I love coffee but in the summer it’s impossible to drink hot coffee.  I mean to cool yourself down you really do need a machine to make the best iced coffee.  Wouldn’t you agree?

 

 

Finally, another kitchen gadget I would love is a steamer.  Boiling in one pot while steaming in two others is just the epotime of saving time and energy consumption!  Not only that but a steamer is considered to be the healthiest cooking method as the food doesn’t lose any of the vitamins and minerals.  Certainly a win-win on all counts.
