Kitchen Essentials I Can’t Live Without

As a professional and home-cook, I have come to appreciate the following utensils and appliances - they make life in the kitchen so much more convenient, and help to save time.

Swissmar Peeler

Around 6$
I’m coocoo over this peeler that never seems to wear out! If you’ve had a bad vegetable peeler then you know the frustration and hard work it makes of taking the peel off a carrot or potato! This gem of a toll comes in different colors and is the perfect gift for anyone, from the occasional home cook to the seasoned chef.

KitchenAid 300 Immersion Blender

Around $90
I use my immersion blender to blend healthy creamy soup right in the pot just like they do in top restaurants! Make smooth homemade tomato sauce and creamy sauce with a push of a button. This model also comes with attachment s that double as a mini-chopper and electric whisk. The bottom part detaches and pops right in the dishwasher for super simple clean-up.

Cuisinart DLC-5 7-Cup Capacity Food Processor

Around $100
Pizza doughs, homemade breads, and pie crusts are a snap with this workhorse appliance that should have a permanent spot on your counter. Chopping and grating veggies for your favorite healthy meals including stews, salads, and snacks. Mine has seen some wear after 8 years of constant use and is still going strong!
