KITCHEN MUST HAVES
Crock-Pot
Why we love it:
- Food prep made easy. Who doesn't love that? Especially for those days that our evenings are busy and finding time to cook is difficult
- Digital countdown control lets you program cook times anywhere from 30 minutes up to 20 hours; shifts to Warm setting automatically once cook time completes (I love this feature. Ours has the 2, 4, 6, 8 hour options. Being able to choose 30 minute increments would be a huge bonus to me.)
- Easy to use locking lid featuring lid gasket provides extra seal. It helps to hold the moisture in so that your food doesn't dry out during cook time.
- So many recipes!
Food Dehydrator
Why we love it:
- Allows us to dry a variety of foods: meats, fruits, veggies
- Great for snacks, dry herb preparation, or even soup mixes
Quick Pot
Why we love it:
- We picked up an off brand quick pot at Sams and quickly fell in love. I don't see that one listed on Amazon and know my sister loves her Instant Pot. So we'll go with that!
- Cooks fast and saves time: The Instant Pot Duo multi-cooker combines 7 appliances in one: Pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, saute pan, yogurt maker and warmer – and cooks up to 70% faster. We've used the pressure cooker, slow cooker, and saute features on our quick pot and love them! My sister swears by the yogurt function and insisted we make sure ours have the function. It does but we have yet to use it.
- Lots of recipes! And about as versatile as it gets.
Vacuum Sealer
Why we love it:
- Allows us to buy in bulk and break it down for storage and use.
- Keeps food fresh for longer periods of time.
- Aids in freezer storage, allowing us to store more in the same space.
- Sealer is small and doesn't take much space to store itself.
