Make Your Life Easier with Electric Kitchen Essentials

Cooking is difficult. Simplify your kitchen time with these easy electronic extras that will streamline your meal-making workflow.

Food Scale

Recipes frequently call for measurements in grams or ounces instead of cups or tablespoons. A good electronic food scale will allow you to set any bowl or dish to zero and measure only your chosen ingredients. As a bonus, a food scale will also help you keep an eye on your portion sizes; if you’re looking to lose (or gain) weight, an electronic scale is an absolute must-have for keeping accurate records in food tracking apps.

Digital Timer

Your phone likely has a timer function, but you’re not going to do it any favors by gumming up the inside of your earphone port with egg goo. Get yourself a dedicated digital timer for the kitchen — unlike traditional battery-free egg timers, a digital timer is accurate down to the second.

Meat Thermometer

Roasts and bakes involving meat require extra attention if you want to do them right (and prevent some seriously nasty stomach bugs in the process). A digital meat thermometer will tell you exactly how cooked the interior of your turkey or rump roast is, allowing you to achieve the perfect cook time without risking over-drying or undercooking.

Hand Blender

A hand or “stick” blender is a requirement in any modern kitchen. Allowing you to liquify soup ingredients right in the pot or blend single-serving smoothies without creating a sink’s worth of dirty dishes, a good hand blender will offer multiple attachments for a variety of cooking tasks.
