Vegetable Spiralizer
A vegetable spiralizer turns ordinary vegetables into noodle-like shapes. Although nothing can replace pasta, this texture is a fun change to help your family eat more vegetables! This hand-held option is small and inexpensive, so not much storage space needed. Because you must turn the vegetables by hand, it’s best for those who just want to make veggie “noodles” once in a while; if you’re a more serious veggie spiralizer, you might check out an option with a hand crank instead.
Immersion Blender
For creamy soups requiring blending, an immersion blender is a necessity. The alternative is to blend soup in batches in an upright blender, but this can be very dangerous when handling hot liquid. This immersion blender also comes with a milk frother attachment so you don’t need a separate gadget to make a latte in the morning. It also has a whisk attachment if you don’t have a hand mixer.
Instant Pot Pro Crisp: Air Fryer, Electric Pressure Cooker, Slow-Cooker, and More
If you're looking for a true all-in-one device, this Instant Pot Pro Crisp is a great option. This is a combo Air Fryer, Electric Pressure cooker, and Slow-Cooker. It has options to sauté, sous vide, keep food warm. It also works as a mini oven, broiler, and dehydrator. It's pricey, but may be worth it instead of purchasing each of these items individually.
