Five Fun Kitchen Gadgets

The kitchen is where I feel the most at home. There is something relaxing about being there and cooking a meal to enjoy. I could go on for hours about why I love to cook, but I'll make it short and sweet and talk about one of my loves... Kitchen Gadgets! Of course when stocking your kitchen you'll want to start with the basics but there are plenty of fun ones you won't want to be without.


  1. Adjustable Measuring Cups - I could go on and on about how amazing these are... If you are baking and you need to measure out a lot of ingredients than this is perfect because you don't have to dirty up all of your measuring cups. They are dishwasher safe making them even more convenient. There are a lot of different brands but most are approved for both liquid and dry ingredients.
  2. HowManyDaysAgo Timer -These are cute and can save you from potential food poising. This little gadget eliminates all of the guess work on how long ago you put that Tupperware dish in the refrigerator.
  3. Hands Free Can Opener - This is a great gadget because it not only is amusing but you can multitask because your hands are free and it provides you with a clean cut, eliminating those sharp edges so it is extremely kid friendly. It runs on two AA batteries and they will last about 100 cans. This makes it convenient because you can take it anywhere, such as camping or boating trips.
  4. Cuisinart Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker - Nothing says fun like Ice Cream! There are plenty of ice cream machines on the market, but none of them make soft serve ice cream. This machine produces professional soft serve ice cream, yogurt, sorbet, or sherbet. All you do is add the ingredients. No more struggling with rock salt and other chemicals. It makes about 1.5 quarts in as little as twenty minutes.
  5. Silicone Bakeware - From bunt cakes to muffins Silicone Bakeware won't leave you disappointed. You no longer have to worry about your cakes sticking to the pan or about burning your hands on the pan. They are lightweight, non-stick, rust proof, flexible, unbreakable and very easy to use and store. Never again will you have the inconvenience of flouring and greasing your pans... but you will have to watch the time because sometimes the items bake quicker in silicone.

Hopefully you'll have as much fun as I do with these kitchen gadgets... and there will be more to come :)
