Kitchen must-haves for busy mums – and dads!

It’s 4 pm. You stumble home from work. The house is a mess, and unfolded laundry covers the dining table. There is just so much to do. Then, the real work begins…

The kids come charging through the door from school. They’re dirty and tired. Worst of all, they’re hungry. And it’s your job to feed them. But who has the time to make a healthy dinner?

You do – if you invest in some time-saving gadgets! Read on to discover 2020’s kitchen must-haves for any busy mum – and dad too!

Slow Cooker

Imagine this – a perfectly cooked roast, with all the trimmings, and you didn’t have to cook a thing. Impossible? Not with a slow cooker!

Simply chuck all your ingredients into your cooker, set the timer, and pop the lid on. Then go about your day, knowing that a delicious meal will be waiting for you at home.

Prepare your meat and vegetables the night before for an even easier dinner.

 

Food Chopper

Don’t cry cutting onions. Blitz them up in a food chopper instead! Nothing slows a busy parent down in the kitchen more than cutting up a mountain of vegetables.

Throw ingredients such as vegetables, fruits or even cheese into your chopper and push down the top. And boom! Instantly diced for your convenience. You won’t know how you did without it!

 Microwavable Rice and Pasta Cooker

You could spend hours making pasta from scratch, and boiling it to perfection – or you could get real. No one has time for that! Invest in a microwavable rice and pasta cooker and make your meals in half the time.

It’s easy to clean and will have your rice and pasta cooked in a flash. Got a picker eater who only eats pasta? Microwave a perfect potion just for him. He eats his dinner, and you don’t lose your mind. Win-win!

 

Finger Guard

Maybe chopping all those vegetables isn’t the problem. You can cut up ingredients in a blink of an eye. Perhaps you’ve become such a wiz in the kitchen that now you need protection - from yourself.

Then the Finger Guard is for you. Use it when finely chopping so your fingers don’t get caught in the crossfire. You can thank us later!

Air Fryer

Want to make a healthy dinner, but still crave that deep-fried taste? More importantly, do you want it NOW?

Have the best of both worlds with an air fryer. Instead of frying with oil, this little wonder cooks your food with air. So you can still have your crispy, crunchy chicken and chips without the grease!

Not only that, but the air fryer takes a fraction of the time of traditional fryers. Have your Sunday night feast plated up in minutes!
