Your favorite kitchen gadget

[bella427]

I need gift ideas for my mom's birthday. What's your favorite kitchen gadget or time saver? She and my dad are trying to eat healthier, so bonus points if your idea relates to healthy eating. TIA!

An hand mixer immersion blender that comes with the attachments (like the mini food processor).

I LOVE the garlic zoom!!

I love my Foreman Grill, OXO Salad Spinner, and everything Zyliss (mandolin, chopper, zester, microplane, etc.).

I love my salad spinner too. I never would have thought it would make so much of a difference, but it does. I love my apple corer too. I use that at least a few times a week.

I love the magic bullet for making smoothies & salsas etc.

I love my OXO silicon tipped tongs, but they are not really related to healthy cooking at all.

I think the small food processors (4 cups ish) are great for making healthy versions of other foods. I also love my oil mister from Crate and Barrel, helps with using less oil for pans.

salad spinner, immersion blender, a mandolin/hand chopper thing...not sure what the actual term is but one of those choppers that has a reservoir you put whole veggies in and then you push down on the handle repeatedly to chop it.

Immersion blender it is! Gavel. Also, you may have convinced me to buy one for myself. Thanks!

My immersion blender and my cuisanart mini blender pretty much live on my counter. I love the mandolin because my knife skills suck. I have the pasta attachment for the kitchen aid mixer as well as the meat grinder and actually do use both (suck it rising food prices and 4.99/lb ground beef!). It really depends on what your mom likes to cook: smoothies - small blender, sauces and soup - immersion blender, etc...

My coworker is trying to eat better, and he talks up his rice cooker which also steams vegetables. I think he's in love.

I detest all of my kitchen gadgets except my corkscrew. The former only mean work for me, the later only relaxation.

I love the knife magnet we have. It saves the counter space of having a knife block.

A wine vacuum pump, or wine aerator, or wine chiller.

(what? wine is good for you)
