The Chefs Thermometers and Wand Blenders
This is fun for me, while there are so many gadgets out there on the market, I really don't use many of them. There are some great tools that I find helpful resources in getting the best outcomes in the kitchen. Above here are 3 of them. To the left is an immersion blender that is helpful in making vinaigrettes, sauces, and pureed soups. A must in the kitchen for scratch cooking.
The next is a probe thermometer, helpful when cooking a roast or large piece of meat in the oven that you only want to take to a certain temperature. You set the temperature to your desire. Then an alarm goes off when you reach. Amazingly helpful Chefs Resource to get the desired outcome on your roasts. The final here is a digital thermometer, this is key to foods that are not over cooked or under cooked.
The Chefs Vacuum Sealers
Vacuum Sealer is a great resource when you want to prepare foods ahead or purchase in bulk and preserve in your freezer. In days past, microwaveable meals were prepared for service this way. This is a great way to have meals ready to go. You can package a meal in your sealer, seal it, refrigerate for a few days (extends the life in refrigerator slightly) or freeze for later use.
When you are in a hurry this is a great way to feed wholesome food to your family. You do need to plan to build these meals or for shopping for opportunity then package for freezing or sharing.

In my home, years ago, I was given a kitchen aid mixer and many attachments. I can tell you it is such a great tool. To be able to mix with a shield, either dough or cakes, cookies etc. Then to be also able to make sausage or fresh fettucine or lasagna noodles. What a great aid in the kitchen. Here is a kitchen aid and several attachments for you. A must in every kitchen, many commercial kitchens use these for smaller usage.
Other Chefs Resources
A food processor is a tool that allows you to blend, chop and puree in some fashions that make it easier to do your cooking methods. Another must is music, I utilize blue tooth in my kitchens. These scales, 1 of 5 lbs. and the other 11 lb. capacity are great for portioning, measuring, and baking. Music is great to lesson the stresses of the the day. Cooking in the Kitchen is fun, I hope you can utilize these items in your kitchen as well.
