While I’m a decent cook, being in the kitchen isn’t really my favorite space. So, I’m always looking for ways to save time. This is especially true when I’m trying to get meals together quickly for my family that includes two toddlers and a teenager. I certainly don’t want any hangry people in our house!

Here are five of my favorite kitchen products that I not only love but actually use. 

Fruit Basket

I opted for a three-tiered fruit basket, and it’s seriously one of my favorite things for the kitchen. It seems simple but keeps all the fruit together and opens up space in the pantry. Plus, having it on the counter for everyone to see usually helps us remember to eat all the fruit before it goes bad. 

Electric Can Opener

My mom actually gifted this to me several years ago, and I love it. It is so easy to use and opens cans quickly. Best of all, there are no sharp edges with opening this way versus the traditional, by-hand can opener. 

Airtight Food Storage Containers

We have a relatively small pantry, so I was constantly getting frustrated trying to find things in there or not having enough space. I ended up purchasing a set of airtight food storage containers on Amazon, and it drastically helped our pantry situation. I’d recommend opting for a set that has different sized containers. It’s also better to get clear containers to easily and quickly see what’s in them.

Silicone Kitchen Utensils Set

I used to always have all the kitchen utensils, like whisks and spatulas in a drawer, and constantly having to shuffle things around to find them. Then, I found a kitchen utensils set that had everything in a nice container to sit on the counter. I keep it beside the stove, and it makes it so easy to grab something quickly. The silicone is best since it’s easy to clean and non-stick. 

Canister Set

Finally, I love the canister set I have on the counter. They are great for storing sugar, flour (in my case, gluten-free flour), etc. Bonus, they come in so many colors, you can easily match any color scheme in your kitchen. All of our kitchen stuff is teal! 

Other than the electric can opener, I found all of these products on Amazon. That made it so easy to purchase and ship. I hope these kitchen products help you save a little time and rejuvenate your kitchen!
