We all know that having the right tools for any job will make it easier and better. In the kitchen, the chores of chopping, cooking, even clean-up can be drudgery. At least for me. When I discovered that the right kitchen tools really do make things easier, I was hooked.
Just take the job of cutting fresh vegies. I love eating salads, but the idea of cutting up all the vegetables was just too much work. Then I got a good set of knives. Wow. Suddenly, I could much more easily chop and slice the vegetables to go in my salad. Plus, I started eating healthier.
I stopped buying the expensive salad fixings from the grocery store. I could buy the less expensive fresh vegetables and make up my own salad. Yes, the cost of the quality knife set started paying for itself immediately.
Honestly, I couldn't believe how much easier my kitchen chores became. The right tools really did matter. The example of the knife set was just one. I've since added in a number of other little kitchen appliances to make those chores easier as well.
Now, my cooking is more fun for me, I'm eating healthier, and my grocery bill is way down. All that, just because I made the move to use the right kitchen tools. Granted, I'm still not a great cook. But, I do enjoy cooking more. That translates into more interesting food for my family.
