No one wants a soggy bowl of lettuce for their salad. Prevent this from happening by giving your greens a spin after washing them. It removes the excess water, making your leaves wilt less fast. Salad spinners are also ideal for drying other vegetables, so they will last longer when you store them.

Instead of finely dicing your ingredients, roughly chop them so that they fit into the container. Then pop the lid on and pull the string until you get the consistency you’re looking for.
Cooking is a leisurely activity but that doesn’t mean you need to be slaving away in the kitchen. Make your life easier and get yourself one (or all) of these kitchen gadgets.
