5 Seemingly Unnecessary Kitchen Items That Will Improve Your Life
Super-functional and utilitarian kitchens are in vogue these days, home cooks avoid unnecessary “single-function” appliances. But “need” is a weird notion, and sometimes a seemingly dumb culinary tool can make cooking and eating easier, tastier, and even a little fancier. Here are some of my favorite kitchen utensils that I had no idea (or maybe I just really wanted):
- This Seemingly Pretentious Product Storage: When I first heard about the creamy goalkeeper , I was bullied. Adding water to the oiler seemed to complicate the simple storage system unnecessarily until I thought of that thin odd ring that sometimes forms around the stick if I don’t take it in quickly enough. It turns out that the water at the base of the oiler creates an airtight seal, helping to keep your favorite milk spread nice and soft.
- The one that left: I used to have a salad counter . Now there is no. I ate a lot of salad. Now there is no. Correlation doesn’t equal causation, but judging by how much I hate drying salad without salad, I think I need to buy a new salad spinner. I will most likely buy this one .
- Cooking Assistant: Laziness can prevent you from eating not only salad, but also cooked greens. It can also prevent you from enjoying the splendor of the fresh herbs, which is unfortunate. While I know that there are things called “knives” and that you can use them to cut anything you want, this does not negate the fact that this tool for shearing herbs and spices will make it much easier to cut up a batch of cabbage.
- Best Side Piece: If you don’t have room for a bedside table next to your couch, you can often face the dreaded task of “holding a drink,” or worse, putting it on a coffee table just to move yourself from a comfortable spot on the couch when you feel dry. Luckily, that nightmare scenario is gone with this sofa armrest that fits just about any sofa armrest except for wood rails.
- Best Cake Pot: If you are the type of cake lover who eats right in the middle of the pan, then skip to the bottom of this article, as this bullet point is not for you. But! If you are familiar with the pleasure of this perfect chocolate, chewy and sticky yet slightly crunchy piece, then I have a skillet for you . This skillet holds the same amount of dough as your 9 x 13, only that all of that dough turns into great chunks.
Plus, if you want to get really quirky, there is this frying pan that makes your cakes look like sandwiches and this little tool that makes your radishes look like mushrooms. It’s necessary? Not at all. Will they make you happier? Probably.
