Three Simple Things to Transform Your Kitchen
Simple life hacks and shopping tips to upgrade your kitchen.
Last month, I shared a few cooking tips, an overview of a chocolate cheesecake recipe from my Cookbook Creations series, and the best places to find major deals on home and kitchen appliances. I noticed a recurring pattern here: feedback on these posts was comments sharing how readers learned something new from my deep dives and guides.
Today, I’m featuring three popular kitchen tools and a free guide for saving money with refurbished items. Whether you need to replace, upgrade, or add a new kitchen tool to your collection, you get the information, no research required.
If you have a small kitchen, space-saving equipment is a must (even better if it has more than one purpose). I’ve listed the best immersion blenders with recommendations from culinary experts. Along with my personal kitchen hack for substituting a food processor in a pinch.
Here are a few options:
Go cordless. Click here and scroll down to “What Immersion Blender Should I Buy?” for suggestions from culinary experts.
Take up less space. An immersion blender is tall and takes up less space in your cabinet. Great for apartments or kitchens without a kitchen island or additional storage space.
Start using an electric food chopper: This year, I started using my mini electric food chopper as a substitute for my food processor (since it broke). Click here to see how well it crushes graham crackers for a graham cracker crust.
Shop smart and save with the best refurbished products.
If you’re shopping for a new kitchen appliance and you’re frustrated by increasing prices, you’re shopping in the wrong places.
Unless you need something simple like a wooden spoon, buying new isn’t always in your best interest (or your wallet’s). Refurbished products are overlooked, but imagine paying 50% less for that shiny new mixer.
A $650 item is now $325.
