Small Tools that Make a Big Difference in Your Kitchen

If we ask you to name a few kitchen essentials, we’re sure you would begin the list with a stand mixer, food processor, hand blender, skillet, oven, and cooker, among others. What’s important to notice is that all these are big appliances. What about those small items that we require daily. In fact, there are multiple little kitchen tools that we often don’t give importance to, however, when you don’t have them, you just go nuts--pun intended. On this note, here are four small tools that often make that big difference in the kitchen.

1. Can or Bottle Opener

Let’s accept, unless you have extremely strong teeth, and you are willing to take the risk, you would always need a can or bottle opener. You don’t want to be searching for one during the weekend (we assume you have an off on Saturday and Sunday), after five days of hard work, when you finally sit down in your balcony or room to savor your favorite beer. If you’re not fond of beer, you and your family would still need a can opener to open other beverage and sauce bottles. 

2. Ice Cream Scoop

Don’t just associate the capability of an ice cream scoop with that of a tool that helps take out ice creams out of their packs to place them neatly in a bowl. Even if you don’t prefer ice creams, you can put an ice cream scoop to several uses. For instance, you can use the small item to divide cake batter and muffins in even shapes. An ice cream scoop can also help prepare perfectly round cookies. 

3. Knife Set

Although this sounds pretty obvious, many newbies may not want to purchase a set of knives, but just one knife. People use different knives for different purposes, from buttering to slicing and peeling. A good set of knives can help you in all such tasks, without having the need to purchase a different knife the moment you realize you need one. 

4. Spatula

A turner, flipper, or more? Whatever you call it, the spatula is an amazing tool, without which no chef can work in the kitchen. Whether you are preparing an aloo paratha or a cheese omelette, you need a spatula to get the job done. To batter flour, take out butter from a bowl, or turn a pancake, a spatula is the key. Spatulas come in different shapes and sizes and are one of the most important tools in the kitchen. 

Conclusion 

They say it for a reason that small things make a big difference in your life. So, be it your life in the kitchen, there are many essentials that are as much important as big appliances such as food processors and ovens. When you have these tools in your kitchen, your work becomes easy, and the best part, you enjoy what you do, which is extremely essential.
