A crockpot is the busy and working person’s dream.

Families who make good use of their freezer can eat less fast and processed foods. This also works great when you find freezer friendly food on sale. Stock up and save money!

Standing Mixer

Imagine mashed potatoes that mash themselves and the ability to reduce the wrist action needed for baking and other kitchen duties. A free standing mixer can be a great kitchen gadget.

Food chopper/ Food Processor

This kind of gizmo can save you significant amounts of time chopping, slicing and dicing. It can shred cheese, mix liquids and save your eyes from tearing up with onion chopping. Although some are big and bulky, they can be a great time saver in the kitchen for a busy cook. Even the smaller manual kitchen choppers are very useful and quite inexpensive.

Time Saving In The Kitchen

You might have some of these kitchen gadgets already that aren’t being put to good use. A bit of time on the weekend spent on organization in your kitchen will go a long way during the week. Consider prepping salad fixings and cooking extra batches of food for weekday eating and you’ll find yourself spending less time during the week on meal prep without sacrificing taste and nutrition.
