The 10 Best Kitchen Gadgets to Save You Time and Money
Our picks for the 10 best kitchen utensils and gadgets that can save you time and money:
MPS Cheese Grater and Zester
This is probably one of the simplest kitchen gadgets on our list, but it’s one of the handiest too. This is basically a cheese grater that is nice and compact yet has some of the sharpest teeth known to man. This cheese grater can also be used as zester too. You can also use it for garlic, ginger, nutmeg and loads more.
What we love about this grater is how compact it is. Most cheese graters are huge, and you only ever use the one side with the big holes. With this cheese grater, you have a small, robust tool that is fit for loads of jobs in the kitchen. You will reach for this grater whether you are baking or cooking up a storm and for that reason, it will save you a lot of time and money in the kitchen.
Joseph Joseph Uni-tool – a 5 in 1 Kitchen Utensil
Once you use this uni-tool once or twice, you will never look at your other kitchen utensils in the same way. This utensil includes a slotted spoon, a spatula, cutting tool, solid spoon and a turner. You can use this uni-tool to measure things, cut things, flip things and even strain things in a pinch. However, it is also nice and compact too. So, you can replace five utensils with one that takes up barely any space.
The thing we love about this uni-tool the most though is that it is designed to be used with non-stick coatings. It is soft enough so that it won't damage your cookware yet robust enough to ensure that you can handle most foods. The fact that you don't have to reach for lots of different tools while cooking makes this uni-tool a real time saver. Plus, you only need one utensil for a host of jobs, so it's great for your wallet too!
Breville Hot Water Dispenser
I think most of us agree that kettles that far too long to boil. When I make a coffee, I really do not enjoy waiting for the kettle. I want my coffee there and then and this hot water dispenser from Breville solves this perfectly. It can boil water in under 50 seconds, making waiting for your morning coffee a thing of the past.
It also has a 1.5-litre water tank that holds about 7 cups of water. So, it has loads more uses than just brewing your morning coffee. If you don't have the time to wait for your kettle to boil, I urge you to get this kitchen gadget. It has been a lifesaver (fast coffee is a lifesaver) in my home and could be in yours too.

Pressure cookers are a fantastic kitchen tool for saving time and money. Firstly, you can use a pressure cooker for cooking amazing meals that would normally take a slow cooker eight hours or so in just a few hours. However, this pressure cooker also has loads of settings to help with so many cooking tasks. Want to serve rice with a meal? Use the pressure cooker and enjoy rice in 7 minutes. Want to slow cook something throughout the day, use the pressure cooker.

Food Vacuum Sealer
Food vacuum sealers are a fantastic tool for saving money in the kitchen. You can prep batches of veg or fresh meat very easily with one of these.

However, it can also save you money as you don't need to buy pre-sliced veg or pre-seasoned meats. You can season your meat and then vacuum seal it for whenever you need it. When you want to use your meat or veg, you can steam it right in the bag, or cut it open and fry it to perfection.
