The kitchen is a room for culinary artistry. While natural skill and passion can take you far, modern technology has created marvelous cooking tools that every kitchen should have despite their hefty price tag.
Copper Cookware
Copper is a fantastic conductor of heat and allows for precise temperature control when cooking on a stove top. This temperature control is necessary when preparing delicate sauces and foods. In addition to providing mastery over cooking temperatures, a Brooklyn copper saucepan also has an attractive aesthetic and are very durable.
Air Fryer
For those who love fried foods but are also trying to remain healthy, an air fryer is a cooking appliance that will provide you with the best of both worlds. Air friers do exactly what their name implies—they fry foods using hot air instead of oil. This will considerably reduce the fat and cholesterol present in your favorite fried foods. It will also reduce the number of calories to help keep your waist small.
Stand Mixer
Whether you’re baking a cake or making homemade biscuits, the convenience and power of a stand mixer cannot be overstated. A stand mixer will sit on your counter and mix any batter you place inside of it. Batters for biscuits or homemade dumplings will become thick and difficult to mix by hand. For older adults, mixing thick batter can be impossible. And if you’re busy cooking other things for a large meal, you likely won’t have the time to dedicate to hand mixing batters. Buying a stand mixer will cut your preparation time dramatically by doing all the hard work for you.
Bread Maker
There are few things more delicious than freshly baked bread from the oven. Mixing and kneading bread dough can be a time-consuming task, but investing in a bread maker can turn baking bread into a fun family activity. Bread makers are designed to mix, knead, rest, and bake the bread all in the same machine. Simply pour the ingredients into the machine as per the instructions, set the timer, and walk away.
Juice Extractor
Popular with fitness enthusiasts, juice extractors take in raw fruits and vegetables to separate the juice from the pulp. This allows for quicker consumption in a liquid form and is a healthier alternative to store-bought juices which are full of sugars and preservatives.
When you purchase these expensive cooking tools, remember to maintain them with proper cleaning and care as outlined in their instructional booklets.
