Cooking can be a joy…until you have to do things like mince, slice, and strain. Fortunately, there is a plethora of cooking gadgets that can make life in the kitchen so much easier (and they can all be found on Amazon)!
1. Bagel Guillotine
This gadget is a total game changer in bagel prep! The guillotine allows you to perfectly slice a bagel without the risks of cutting yourself thanks to the built-in safety shield. A serrated, non-stick blade allows for smooth slicing without tearing, which means you can use it for other baked goods like rolls and muffins. Give it a try-your buns will thank you! This is seriously one of the coolest cooking gadgets!
2. Cob Corn Stripper
Tons of people like corn on the cob but hate having to gnaw the corn off of the cob. Enter the cob corn stripper! This apparatus easily strips cooked corn right off the cob and onto your plate. Now you can enjoy a favorite summer staple without feeling like a beaver chucking wood.
3. Veggie Spiralizer
