Favorite Kitchen Gadgets

Good tools in your kitchen can make for an easy and faster time making delicious meals, so here are some of my favorites.

Vitamix – We’ve used our Vitamix 5200 every day since it arrived roughly 12 years ago, except for about 10 days for a needed repair. It is the workhorse in my kitchen that we’ve used for smoothies, nut butters, sauces and dips, hummus, nut milks, dressings, mayonnaise, grain milling, soap making, and much more. It was a expensive purchase but absolutely worth it in our household.

Omega Masticating Juicer – When we began juicing to increase nutrient loads, we chose the Omega Masticating Juicer because it was very highly rated, and particularly because masticating juicer are able to pull more juice from the fruits and vegetables (and particularly greens)

L’Equip Filter Pro Dehydrator – Our L’Equip Filter Pro Dehydrator was one of our first health-oriented small appliance purchases, and it’s still going strong.

Food Saver Vacuum Sealer – We’ve only had our Food Saver for a few years, and, Wow, has it saved us $$ by preserving food in both bag, as well as in our mason jars, using Food Saver attachments.
