My favorite is an immersion blender. I have a cord free model. I like to use it making sauces and eggs.

Sauces to hide veggies from my toddler who doesn’t realize the veggies are there for fortification and health.

Eggs I like to blend/whip air into the scramble. Cheese is an easy add too. They are super fluffy and delicious.

As far as cleaning it, I wipe any missed chunks off, put warm water plus soap in a cup, and blend til stiff peaks, JK.

What is your favorite kitchen gadget?

    My vacuum sealer, for sure. It’s not only great for prepping to sous vide, it gives me extra room in my tiny freezer if I seal stuff instead of putting it in a container or even a plastic bag. And bonus, I haven’t had a single case of freezer burned meat since I started using it.

      This was one of the first things I bought as a single person. Buying meet in bulk was economical. I use to make salsa an freeze it in “pages”. I still use it for all sorts of food

          Assuming he means the same as I do….

          Freeze it in a baggie lying flat so it spreads out and gets thin. Then you can store a bunch of them upright like pages in a book.

          It’s a great way to efficiently freezer space while having many accessible

        Upvote for freezing as “pages”. It’s good to see someone else thinking that way
