Today i'd like to share with some of you who might have wondered what kinds and how many kitchen gadgets there are in my kitchen . Here's a list of some of them that i use on a regular basis and would recommend .
i had wanted to have this baby looooong time ago , but i just bought it after Adele hit a year old with a purpose of making her homemade food and now i want tell you how much i wish to have it sooner . I've been using it very often , i use it to to make vietnamese white ham -cha lua , ground pork paste -gio song ...and dough too....i absolutely loveeeeeeeeee it !
2 : Kitchenaid Professional 600 Stand Mixer (Google Affiliate Ad)
i bought this one at amazon when they had rebate and cash back program and it was on sale for a really good price so i bought it , yes, because it was on sale ! I do believe a hand mixer is good enough to do the job ( and yes i had one too but handed it down to my mom ) but i think its nicer to let this one do the job while cleaning up or drinking a cup of water :) I used to bake a lot but stopped after having Adele and recently just resumed this hobby because Adele gets to the age that she loves being around the kitchen to help and to explore my tools and showing a lot of interest in playing with the flour . So now we get to use it more often than before .
I spent $50 on amazon to bring this baby home . Its such a nice addition to my collection and i like the fact that i can just throw everything in there and let it cook through the night and my meal is ready by the next morning . I use it mainly for chicken broth , beef stew , or simmering the herb like ginseng and it becomes really handy especially when I'm tired and sick .
I like it and think its worth my money .
4 : Jack Lalannes Power Juicer Express (Google Affiliate Ad)
This baby is my first juicer ever . i think its 6 years old and so far so good . It is powerful ,easy to clean , running quiet and juicing most of fruits and veggies , but its pretty big , heavy and take quite a lot of room on my counter so i store it in the cabinet all the time . Why store bought juice when you can make fresh juice everyday and for the price , I highly recommend this product .

Uhm...i have this one for a few years and always feel like its a waste of money . It looks really nice and functions just as well as the others , but we just don't use it everyday like we estimated . Its been stored in the cabinet all the time and is still shiny . The only good thing i feel good about it that is it was bought on sale . I paid less than 20 bucks for it when its original price is around $40 dollars .
6:Black & Decker TRO480BS Toaster Oven / Broiler (Google Affiliate Ad)
This baby is nothing fancy , its just a basic portable appliance , looks great on my counter , matches with my kitchen and does a really nice job , it toasts evenly . I have it for a few years and been using it almost every day for almost everything , like reheating / cooking a small fish , meat , toast , bagels ......and for its price under $25 , i believe i made a good pick .

I have this one more than a year and i'm not surprised to see this one is one of the top sellers . After throwing a lot of frozen foods due to freezer burn , we wanted to invest to something that can help extend the lifetime of the foods , keep the leftovers longer and prevent freezer burn and this is it . It takes up very little room and looks beautiful on my counter . Though i have to buy the bags and they're pricey , but the machine still saves me a lot of money because there's no more wasted foods . We're able to freeze lots of fresh salmon from last season enough for 6 months .This is also a great way to package of home prepared foods for camping as well :)
I can't live without it !
I bought this small blender at jcpeney when it was on sale and thought i should give it a try and wow , it does a really nice job for the price and fits my need . I like the fact that you can use the blender jars as tumblers to drink from ,and for $20 it comes with 2 big cups and 2 blades and a small cup - a perfect size for my little one . I have the set for more than a year and its working just fine and makes great smoothies , if the cups were glass , I'd definitely buy it again and again .

I'm so excited to introduce you this baby food chopper .Its a must have in my kitchen . I bought it on sale at BiMart for under $10 bucks and gosh , this one is built to last . I gave the 5 year old one to Goodwill just because it was old and i wanted a new one . It helps chop and mince veggies , fruits , herbs , cheese . .. .. .and many many more in no time .
i didn't plan on getting this one but it was on sale ( again ) for a good price and i couldn't resist myself lol i dont use this one often , maybe once a month and it makes great waffles evenly in a heat beat .
