Top Kitchen Gadgets To Help You Prepare Healthier Food
Do you always resolve to eat more healthily, but find you just don’t have the time to prepare the foods you should be eating, and end up resorting to high sodium convenience foods instead? Technology has given us a lot of great kitchen labor saving devices, and with the right ones, you can prepare healthier meals without sacrificing time. Here are some of the best gadgets to buy for your kitchen, which will allow you to make nutritious, freshly prepared dinners for all the family.

Slow Cooker

Every busy person should own a Crock Pot or other form of slow cooker. It allows you to throw a bunch of vegetables and some meat (if you want it) in a pot in the morning before work or the school run, and return in the evening to a delicious stew. It can also be used for soups, casseroles and for cooking things like hams to get them really tender and juicy. Because it is so easy to prepare the vegetables you will use (you can rough cut things like carrots and potatoes because they will soften during the slow cooking process, and you can throw a lot of other things in whole), and you will be using fresh meat, you’ll be cooking with wholesome whole foods. Use it to make curries, chilies, chowders, and all kinds of other tasty, warming meals.

Steamer

Steaming is possibly the healthiest way to cook, and can be used on everything from vegetables and rice to fish. Cooking vegetables in a steamer leaves them crisper than boiling, and helps them retain more of their nutrients. There are various different ways to steam things, with the low tech option being buying a steamer pan and putting the food in there over a pan of boiling water. However, if you want real convenience, buy a hi tech kitchen steamer with different compartments for different foods, and you can prepare a whole steamed meal at once with no mess and no fuss!

Lean Grill

If you haven’t yet tried a George Foreman grill, or a similar fat reducing grilling machine, then you are missing out. It is by far the easiest way to cook all kinds of meat, saving time by cooking both sides at once, and the gradient and grooves in the grill plates drain fat away rather than cooking it into the meat. You can really see the results when you cook steaks, burgers or sausages and the fat gathers in the drip tray – all fat you won’t be eating thanks to this kitchen design classic.

Smoothie Machine

If you’d like to have more fruit and vegetables in your diet and want a really easy way to do it, buy a smoothie machine (or use a conventional blender). You can use all kinds of things to make delicious juices and smoothies, and can even add packs of frozen vegetables if you want the benefits of fruit in a really convenient way. You can also add yoghurt and freeze the smoothie to make a great ice cream substitute!
