Home cooks are always looking for something to save time, space or money in their kitchen, and there are so many of crazy items claiming to be the next best thing, that end up just gathering dust in the cupboards. Here are a few items that you will use, many daily, with no dusting required. —Cassandra Anderton, Good Life Vancouver
Zwilling Fresh and Save Cubes
Zwilling is a leader in kitchen technology and these new cubes are a game changer when it comes to storing food and keeping it fresh. I keep some of mine out on the counter because they’re so aesthetically pleasing, and they come with scannable chalkboard labels that connect with the ZWILLING App so you can track the lifecycle of your food. Vacuum them closed for freshness and cut down on food waste by keeping track of what you have in the pantry. You’ll save money on the ever-increasing grocery bill. Set of five currently on sale for $74.99.
De’Longhi Dedica Maestro Plus
This compact espresso machine is great for apartment dwellers as is saves space without sacrificing quality. The automatic steam wand has three foam textures and temperature settings so you can practice your latte art like a pro. With a stainless-steel finish and detachable dishwasher safe parts, clean up is easy. $399.99
KitchenAid Cordless Kitchen Appliances
Yes, I love my KitchenAid stand mixers and my Vitamix Blender and Food Processor, but they’re a lot to haul out when I’m in a hurry. With the KitchenAid Go Cordless line you can make mid-week meals faster and don’t have to worry about finding a plug. The Kitchen Bundle has the Hand Mixer, Hand Blender, Food Chopper and Kitchen Vacuum and they’re huge space savers for those without those drool worthy kitchen islands. Various prices.
Staub Round Saute Pan 3.7-Litre
I have saucepans galore, but this one lives on my stove as I use it almost daily and it replaces many of my dust gatherers. This cast-iron pan requires no seasoning (preparing a pan for use, not the salt and pepper seasoning kind as you still need flavour) and evenly distributes heat, with a scratch-resistant interior and exterior. You can use this on the stovetop, inside the oven up to 500F degrees and it’s dishwasher safe, and pretty enough to serve in at the table. Chistera Cherry $249.99.
Ooni Volt 12 Electric Pizza Oven
This one is a bit of a splurge coming in at $1200, but if you order in pizza weekly, it does save on those DoorDash bills. For indoor and outdoor use with temperature control and adjustable dials to for top and bottom heating elements that allow you to cook a lot more than pizza. It fits on a standard kitchen countertop and reaches 850F in just 20 minutes and is lightweight with built in handles for easy portability.
