The kitchen isn’t going to be everyone’s favorite place but with lots of cool, new kitchen gear hitting the market, that could soon change. We talked with Vince Offer, purveyor of the perennially awesome Slap Chop kitchen tool to get his take on some new kitchen gadgets taking the market by storm. Find out what The ShamWow Guy had to say below.
8 of the Best Kitchen Gadgets You Didn’t Know You Needed
You might be getting by now when it comes to your cooking routine, but here are a few more items that make a compelling argument for space on your countertop.
Sushi Maker Roller Machine
Who doesn’t like sushi? One thing is certain, not many people like making it. Vince Offer the ShamWow Guy reports that there are several models out now that look promising. With this handy little gadget, sushi lovers can add their favorite ingredients and pull off a perfect roll every time.
These models are simple to use and the results are impressive. Guests will be blown away if you serve your own homemade sushi at your next event.
Vacuum Sealer
Vince Offer notes that these have been out for a while, but the technology and ease-of-use keeps getting better. A vacuum sealer removes all the air from food packaging and takes little room in the freezer or refrigerator.
Canning is popular again since the pandemic started and shortages and out-of-stock groceries became more common place. The newest models of vacuum sealers that the ShamWow Guy has seen include adapters for the tops of canning jars. These adapters allow you to “dry can” items like uncooked rice and beans in jars for long term storage.
Spiralizer
If you’re watching the carbs this winter, keep an eye out for a spiralizer. They allow inspired home chefs to make tasty pasta-like creations using veggies instead of noodles. Whether it’s zucchini, squash, eggplant, or something that hasn’t been discovered yet, ShamWow Guy Vince Offer says a spiralizer will help amp up your cooking game while keeping things healthy.
Olive Oil Sprayer
Olive oil is now a kitchen staple, making its way daily into pots and pans and salads. Keeping it in the wrong container could mean accidentally pouring it all over the place or drowning your veggies to the point of no return.
That’s why an olive oil sprayer can save the day, allowing you to use a soft mist on your favorite foods for a delicate spritz of flavor.
5-Way Opener
Is there anything more frustrating than a lid that won’t open? We didn’t think so! There are a few new 5-way openers for sale online that can open bottle caps, pop tops, remove seal tabs, break the seals of jar lids, and more all with one tool.
Opening a can or jar shouldn’t get in the way of your creating your culinary masterpiece. The 5-way could be a new essential for every home chef, according to Vince Offer.
Garlic Press
For those that love their garlic in cooking, a garlic press will save you some time. Simply drop a clove into the press and, well, press!
Use the crushed garlic in sauces, while sautéing, or with any other creation you can think of that calls for this heavenly flavor enhancer.
Universal Lids
Lids, sometimes we have them, sometimes we don’t. While it’s not clear what happens to all the lids in one’s kitchen, it’s good to know that there is a backup to save the day.
Vince Offer notes that Universal lids could be the answer when our standard lids disappear, fitting onto literally any container you have in your home. You can find them in sets of 2 or 3, so stock up and rest assured that, there’s always going to be a “match” for your otherwise lidless Tupperware.
Boiled Egg Peeler
Ok, we lied. There is something more frustrating than not being able to open a lid., Peeling an egg. Doing it without taking chunks out of the egg white is truly an art, one that only the most skilled of hand can achieve.
Maybe not quite that hard but it’s still frustrating. With several egg peelers reviewed, the ShamWow Guy notes that most function via a single click of a button, yielding a perfectly peeled egg each time that’s Instagram-worthy and ready to devour.
Kitchen Gadgets for the Win
If your kitchen is your sanctuary, you may want to add a couple of the devices above next to your Slap Chop and Graty on your countertop, according to Vince Offer. Increase the enjoyment of your time spent cooking by picking up the right tools.
