Tools To Make Cooking Easy-Breezy

Whether you’re the chef-de-cuisine of the household or a reluctant venturer into gastronomy, cooking can be made easier for all of you! Our tips and kitchenware suggestions here help you make an ergonomic flow to your kitchen while saving you effort during the cooking process as well. These small adjustments will ignite your passion for cooking faster than a Masterchef binge!

1. Create space with hanging holders
One of the oldest gripes in the history of cooking, counterspace or lack thereof doesn’t require a complete kitchen remodel. Using organization tools like a hanging paper towel holder, instantly adds more space for chopping and prepping. It also makes it easy to grab a towel on the go with one hand or messy hands!

2. Use caddies to keep essentials on-hand
While having a sorted and stacked cabinet is pleasing to the eye, there are some ingredients that you need so often it is easier to keep them on the counter. Using sleek caddies ensures your favorite spices, sauces, or ingredients are in one place neatly. A caddy with a handle also makes it easy to move them once you’re done seasoning.

3. Save time with a vegetable chopper
Perfect for fruits and vegetables, a chopper is an easy way to save time and effort while making your meals. It is also an excellent food prep tool for families that enjoy cooking together as it is safer than a knife. It is also handy for that pesky counter-space issue as you need significantly less space than a traditional chopping board.

4. Keep clean with lid and ladle rests
Protect yourself from extra clean-up after you’re done cooking, by using lid and ladle rests. These ergonomic tools cleverly hold your steaming lids and sauced-up ladles in a way that they are off the counter but easy to grab again. They can also be used to dry the utensils after washing up!

5. Season easily with smart spice jars
Smart spice containers help you choose whether you want to sprinkle or pour your seasonings while cooking. They also help keep your spices fresh and neatly arranged, whether stored in your cabinet or on the counter. Stackable spice jars also help keep your counters neat and create more space in cabinets!

6. Meal-prep with airtight containers
A great way to keep your meals healthy during a busy work-week, meal prepping is easier when you have the right containers for your prep. Airtight fridge-appropriate storage ensures that your food, whether veggies or meats, stays fresh till you’re ready to cook. They also double-up as easy to-go boxes for road-trips or office lunches.

7. Have a pot-holder and mitts handy
A tool that is often neglected or overlooked, a pot-holder or oven mitts are a must-have for the frequent cook. Get ones with thoughtful hanging loops so that they are within easy reach. Apart from saving your fingers from burns, they also act as a lovely accent to your kitchen decor with fun prints and patterns!
