#3 Blender/Juicer
Blenders and juicers are great for making homemade and all-natural juice and smoothies, as well as milkshakes when you want to offer your family a little treat.
You will get great time savings by having both a blender and a juicer. Fortunately, now you don’t have to buy two separate appliances. There are blenders that also have superior juicing capabilities.
You can also go with an appliance that will serve as a blender, juicer, and food processor all in one.
#4 Slow Cooker
Slow cookers allow you to cook just about anything while you are busy doing other things.
Leave it on at night to make a breakfast casserole that is ready when everyone wakes up, or have dinner cooking in the slow cooker while you are taking the kids to school, running errands, or working during the day.
By the time everyone gets home, you are ready to put the finishing touches on a healthy and nutritious meal.
#5 Steamer
A steamer is another great tool to have, with many options available. One of the better options is to get a two-tiered steamer, as this lets you steam
You don’t have to dirty a pan on the stove that needs to be washed, and you can easily get your veggies ready for dinner.
#6 Instant Pot
The Instant Pot is an amazing kitchen gadget that can take the place of 7 appliances in your kitchen. It is a slow cooker, steamer, warmer, pressure cooker, rice cooker, and a yogurt maker.
They come in various sizes to meet the needs of your family. The struggle to cook healthy meals is over with this gadget and great instant pot recipes.

Instant Pot is definitely the next kitchen item on my list to get. I am waiting until we move into our house, so I actually have space for it.
I have a crock pot and an air dryer, LOVE IT! ?
Those are two of my favorite gadgets.
I use my food processor almost daily for dips etc. A blender is also a daily tool. I have been thinking about an air fryer although I never had the need for it. You made me think!
I’m starting to cook more so I’m using my food processor more often. And I absolutely love my air fryer.
I find blender really useful with all the healthy recipes! With smoothies or healthy soups 🙂
You are so right. I love making my heathy smoothie each morning.
I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about the air fryer and instant pot. I need to step my kitchen game up lol
Lol… you’re going to love the air fryer.
I have all of them except a steamer. Is it really a must have?
It’s a cool gadget but I wouldn’t say it is a must-have. The air fryer is the one that I wouldn’t want to live without.
I truly can’t live without my Vitamix…it has completely changed the game for me! I would love to get an air fryer next…they look so cool!

Hi Mandi! You have to try the air fryer. You will love it.
Awesome. An instapost and air fryer are definitely on my wish list. I should just go get them. You have inspired me. Another gadget that you didn’t mention that I have recently been gifted is an electric spiralizer. I am shocked at how yummy veggie noodles are. I no longer crave real pasta. Love your ideas. Now I have to go shopping. ?
Hey Jenna! I didn’t know about the electric spiralizer and I haven’t tried veggie noodles. I have to check it out!
I couldn’t live without my Magic Bullet or my Instapot! If I ever have a bigger kitchen, I want to invest in a food processor but for now, I get by with my Magic Bullet and good old fashion chopping!

You can do a lot with that Magic Bullet. It’s one of my favorites too!
An air fryer is the best kitchen tool I’ve ever picked up for myself!
Mine too!
