my favorite kitchen products
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. and during quarantine, that time has been amplified.. I love cooking and creating new things to eat, as well as using fun products to upgrade my cooking and baking game. these are my favorite must have kitchen products that will help you to completely upgrade your cooking game during quarantine.
1. milk frother
ever wondered how to make a foamy latte or cappuccino at home? having a milk frother at home will solve allllll your problems. this is honestly my favorite kitchen item to date. purchasing a milk frother upped my coffee game by 100%. it creates the perfect, coffee shop worthy frothy milk in SECONDS making your typical at home milk and coffee into a indulgent, foamy latte.
a food processor is the most handy item for chopping, pureeing and mixing. I use mine to make all types of fun sauces, nut butters, and to simply chop up foods when I am too lazy to use a knife. making nut butters in a food processor is so easy - all you need to do is roast your favorite nut at 325 for ten minutes and then blend until they form a nut butter! check out this recipe for creamy cashew butter!!
3. air fryer
air fryers have gained a lot of popularity lately and rightfully so - they can literally cook ANYTHING. I have used my air fryer to cook eggs, chicken, vegetables (air frying vegetables is honestly the BEST) and even just to toast bread or re-heat left overs. they are super easy to use and not to mention there are a ton of fun recipes our there on what to cook in them.
for those who love baking but hate cleaning - invest in a silicone baking mat! they are non stick and super easy to clean. plus, they help cut down on waste for those of you who typically use parchment paper. say good bye to baked goods that stick on the pan!
5. blender
now that it is starting to get warmer, I have been having all the smoothie cravings. making smoothies at home is the best - it saves money, is so much healthier and you can create all sorts of fun, nutritious combinations. (tip - to create a super thick smoothie, make sure to use frozen ingredients. my go-to thick smoothie recipe is here.)
6. lemon juicer
this wil seriouslyl simplify your life.
from one coffee lover to the next - stop buying pre ground coffee. grinding the beans at home creates a whole new fresh experience. trust me on this one.
8. french press
add those fresh ground beans to a French press with some hot water and you’ll be drinking the best coffee you have ever had.
