3 Kitchen Tools You Didn’t Know You Needed

I genuinely enjoy cooking! Eating out in my home is reserved for weekends (mostly). So, I am always looking for something to make cooking easier and more effective Since we downsized to a smaller home, my kitchen isn’t as functional as I would like it to be due to its size. I need all the help I can get from efficient and easy-to-store tools to get the job done. Let me introduce you to three kitchen tools that I enjoy using and help me cook delicious meals for my family.

Rotary Cheese Grater

This is what I asked my kids to get me for Christmas, and they delivered. Bagged cheese is a thing of the past in my fridge! Grating your cheese is what I grew up doing when I helped my mom in the kitchen as a little girl. I don’t even think they made pre-shredded cheese back then! LOL! My mom had this handheld cheese grater that you would scrape your knuckles on if you weren’t careful. I have one of those, too. I hate using it, and it’s a chore! While scrolling through TikTok, I found a rotary cheese grater. Wow! It looked so fun and satisfying to use, and the cheese looked so yummy and fresh as it spilled out of the barrel. I was so excited to use it for the first time. Cheese freshly grated in your casseroles tastes so much better than the powder-coated pre-shredded cheese you buy in the store. You can get one here, and thank me later!

Hand Mixer with Dough Hooks

Back in the day, I used to bake extensively. I baked for family, friends, and profit. I had a stand mixer for all my baking. However, one day, I put my baking to the side and downsized to a hand mixer. Fast forward about 5 years, and I realized my hand mixer had dough hook attachments! I know right? Perfect for making cookie dough, bread dough, pizza dough – just all kinds of dough! Get yours here!

Vegetable Chopper

Making homemade fries never felt so good! I love this tool for making all kinds of dishes. French fries and hash browns are my favorite. I even use it to chop my onions and peppers for spaghetti, and tomatoes for salads and homemade salsa. This tool is the best and one of my favorites for food prep! Get your here! It comes with multiple attachments so you can chop veggies into small bits or chunks and everything in between!

The Wrap-Up

From choppers to graters, having the best tools in your kitchen to fit your needs is a must. In today’s economy and with the way food is grown, we could all benefit from more home-cooked meals. When you have what you need to make prep and cooking easier, it makes all the difference in the world!
