I don't really classify myself as a who enjoys cooking. I like eating, and eating requires cooking. I also never thought I would be one of those people who swears by a blender, but, alas, I am.
So here are 5 kitchen tools that have changed my life.
1. Ninja food processor- I got mine for about $40 at Walmart, and have never regretted it. I use it to make smoothies, pesto, tomato sauce. You name this thing can probably blend it. This model also has a little mini blender. It's just as powerful as the large pitcher container, but fits in my dishwasher a lot easier.
2. Mandolin- Not be confused with the musical instrument, this utensil cuts things crazy thin. It's really useful for making salads (see this post where I use it to make a killer kale salad), or even sweet potato chips.
3. Electronic Chopper- Seriously go get one. You're eyes will never tear as you cut onions ever again. I got mine at Walmart, but they have the same model on Amazon.
4. Slow Cooker- This one seems like no brainer, but I hear so many college kids complaining about how little time they have to cook, yet don't own a slow cooker. THESE THINGS COOK YOUR FOOD FOR YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP! This is the adult equivalent to magic! And there are so many to choose from! Do it!
5. Waffle Maker- My mom got me a waffle maker the Christmas after I moved out, and I have never used a gift more. I use it for everything. Eggs, sweet potatoes (if you haven't caught on yet, I really like sweet potatoes), I have even quesadillas in it. Here is a link to a link to a book explaining the hidden potential of your waffle maker written by my professor's former colleague, if you still need convincing.
