5 Cool kitchen Gadgets under $12


1.      Stick blender
To me, this is the coolest kitchen gadget ever! It is wonderful to purée soup, smoothen your dips, whip the cream, make fruit smoothies or even froth your milk. One big advantage is, you don't have to transfer your ingredients, it can be used right on your pan, cup or bowl. It is so easy to clean, too, just use soap & water. Love mine so much and it's very affordable. I think every kitchen should have this. Big W $12.00.



2.     Julienne slicer
How we hate chopping carrots and slicing them thinly, I always can't get it right. This thing makes my job easier, it slices carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, etc. effortlessly and efficiently. It comes in two sizes, coarse or fine, you can also buy the holder so it won't hurt your finger. Street shop $7.50 each.



3.     Chips/Pizza Crisper
These things are the new hero in my kitchen. I used to fry the chips because my family like them crispy, but now I just put them in the oven using the chip crisper and they will be crispy on both sides, just like we wanted, healthier too! And the use is limitless, not just for pizza and chips, we can use them for pastries, nuggets, roasted vegetables, etc. Don't forget to brush some oils on the base of the tray to avoid food sticking on it. Aldi (promotional) $2.90 each.


4.     Mini grater
This is the little thing that makes your meal perfect. Use it to grate parmesan cheese for  garnish, grain your nutmeg, zest your lemon/orange for extra flavour, or grate your ginger/garlic  for making sauce. They are available in plastic or stainless steel. Hot Dollar $2.50.



5.     Dumpling mould
Being Asian, I make dumplings a lot, so having this thing is a must. Just put the skin first then the filling in the middle, press it, and voilà.. the dumpling is done! You can get it from 2 dollar shop or Daiso. It's a delight! Daiso $2.80.
