Review of Kitchen Tools

Here are some not-so-common kitchen tools and gadgets of mine and my thoughts on them...

Slow Cooker

It’s good convenience-wise, but if you have the time, I’d recommend cooking things in the oven or on the stove instead. It’s because you can’t really touch the food while it’s cooking for the 3-6 hours, so sometimes flavors blend together and the dish ends up kinda bland. But maybe that’s cause I haven’t really mastered it yet.

Toaster Oven

Good for toasting...leftover pizza? Mini baking oven? I feel I'm not coming close to using its full potential haha.

Spice Rack

It's pretty good convenience-wise (still need to buy salt/pepper/etc. though). I still have yet to learn the subtle differences between certain spices that look alike ex. marjoram and herbs de provence.

Garlic Presser

For anyone who's epicly failed at "dicing" garlic, this tool is a lifesaver to get the most out of your garlic. Works okay on small pieces of ginger, too.

Pasta Pot

If it weren't for my senior year roommates, VK and TK, I would never have known about the existence of these. These are pots with drilled holes on the top to drain water easily. Helps a ton with cooking anything that needs to be drained really.

Hand-Powered Food Chopper

Deserves a video, not just a picture. The funnest tool ever - it’s like starting up a lawnmower. Saves a ton of time esp. dicing onions. The MVP of my kitchen probably.

Infuser Water Bottle

Okay this isn't a kitchen isn't a kitchen tool, but I had to include it regardless. Put any fruit in the center to give your water a flavor! Lemons are my favorite.

Scrub Daddy

Made popular by the show Shark Tank, this sponge changes texture based on water temperature. It does seem more efficient/durable than a traditional sponge.
