Whether you’re alone or with your family, the important thing is to bring practicality into your life! With that in mind, this article has gathered several interesting gadgets to help you enjoy every moment. Some may not seem that useful, but once you get used to them, there’s no turning back!

Not all of them are as “modern” as you think. Some are just simple little things that will make everything easier to do!

It's really annoying when you want to eat ice cream, but it's too hard to easily scoop out of the tub, right? You probably don't know, but there's a heated ice cream scoop that can put an end to this problem once and for all!

This way, you can scoop out as much ice cream as you want without melting your favorite dessert. An example is ScoopThat, a North American brand that develops several versions of the device.

Although it is a bit pricey, it is worth it! Not having to worry about the freezer temperature is wonderful. Some foods simply cannot be defrosted, or they lose their properties and spoil easily.

Manual food crusher

Conventional food processors tend to be quite noisy and consume a considerable amount of energy if used frequently. However, with manual food processors, you can simply pull a lever repeatedly to process food quickly – without having to plug anything in!

Even if the power goes out at home, you can still have dinner (by candlelight, of course). Remember to have a good flashlight nearby, just in case.

The product is usually very affordable and can be found in large marketplaces, such as Amazon.

Electric pressure cooker

Many people are terrified of using pressure cookers. This accessory, in addition to increasing safety, makes all the work in the kitchen much easier!

There are several functions you can choose from: slow or fast cooking, the type of food that will be cooked (meat, chicken, vegetables, beans, rice, chickpeas, etc.), the pressure level, the preparation time, among many others.

Furthermore, some of these devices have dozens of pre-programmed recipes: so, all you have to do is prepare the ingredients, put them in the pan and enjoy your meal! 

In general, electric stoves and pans are safer than gas stoves. What’s more, they tend to be cheaper too! Cool, right?

Have you cut an ingredient in half but want to reuse it later? These plastic lids might be just what you’ve been looking for all along!

Certain foods, once opened, must be carefully sealed to avoid contamination or loss of their nutritional properties. However, these lids help reduce the time needed to store them – and they also look very nice.

You can easily find these kitchen accessories in most major marketplaces, as well as in some specialized physical stores.

Cutting board with drawers

Preparing lunch or dinner can require a lot of space when it comes to cutting meat or vegetables. Some kitchens are very small, which can make this task quite frustrating. But did you know that there are cutting boards with drawers?

You can store both cut and whole foods in these drawers and distribute them appropriately. There are cutting boards for both meat and vegetables: don't mix the two! Buy one for each type of food.

Remember to properly sanitize all drawers (and the cutting board, of course) after use! Avoid unnecessary contamination and keep your health strong.

Mobile shelves for refrigerator

Even the largest refrigerators on the market can run out of space to store food: how can you solve this problem? The answer is simple: mobile shelves!

Attach them to the upper spaces of your refrigerator and practically double your storage capacity. Be careful with the size of the shelves: make sure the one you want to buy is capable of storing everything you need!

These are very affordable kitchen accessories and can be easily found in specialist home and kitchen stores. They are usually made of plastic, although there are versions in more premium materials, such as acrylic or aluminium.

Electric cooktop

Not everyone knows, but an electric cooktop is much more than just a different piece for your kitchen: it is a more efficient, safe and economical way to prepare your food!

Heating is done by electromagnetic induction: because of this, it is necessary to purchase a specific set of pans to use this type of stove. Traditional pans, used on gas stoves, cannot be used on this type of stove under any circumstances!

It is worth mentioning that pans for this type of stove are much more expensive; however, they tend to last much longer than others, as they are not damaged over time due to direct contact with fire.

Have you ever thought about communicating with your own refrigerator? Smart refrigerators, although still quite expensive, are incredible due to their technical features.

With this equipment, it is possible to program the internal temperature dynamically, create temperature curves, track recipes, make personalized notes, among many other things!

Most smart refrigerators use Android as their operating system, which guarantees full compatibility with apps available on Google Play.
