10 Best Kitchen Tools For Healthy Eating

Let's start with the big kitchen appliances? The Instant Pot and slow cooker are by far the best kitchen appliances when you are short on time.

1: Instant Pot

The Instant Pot is an absolute staple in my healthy eating kitchen.

It is a pressure cooker and slow cooker PLUS it can saute, all in the one appliance.

A regualr meal that may take 6-10 hours to cook in the slow cooker, may only take 20-30minutes in the pressure cooker. Now who dooesn't love a healthy family dinner on the table FAST?

Still trying to figure out which size to buy? Make sure to read Which Instant Pot is Best for Me. My guide will help you determine which one will work for your family.

If you already have one, what are your favorite instant pot accessories?

Our favorite may be the trivet or the mini mitts. It really is hard to pick.

2: Slow Cooker

Slow cookers make life easy don't they? Just set up your meal in the morning, night before, or even program them to start at a certain time and dinner is ready when you walk in the door.

I have to admit, there's nothing like walking in the doorway and smelling a perfect whole chicken, YUM!

Prepping your meals over the weekend can make a huge difference during the crazy weeknights. By batching steps like chopping veggies and seasoning meats, you can prepare the whole week's menu.

So when Wednesday rolls around, you can dump all the pre-cut and seasoned ingredients into the instant pot or slow cooker. Keep it simple!
