Whether you’re someone who enjoys batch cooking every Sunday, or you’re just trying to figure out how to not burn rice, the right kitchen tools can totally change your cooking game in the kitchen.

I used to think these tools weren’t very helpful, but after trying a few that actually worked, I realized that they save time, reduce stress, and even make me want to cook more.

Here’s a breakdown of some helpful kitchen tools you might not have thought of, and how they can make things way easier, especially for beginners or anyone who just wants to cook more efficiently.

1. Design Kitchen Tools for Batch Cooking

If you like to batch cook, or want to start, having the right tools can cut your prep time in half. Batch cooking is basically when you make big portions of meals to eat throughout the week. It saves money, energy, and time, as well as fatigue in decision making.

Some of the best kitchen tools that can make batch cooking easier are:

• Large capacity food processor – Allows you to quickly chop onions, carrots, celery, or even nuts and herbs.

• Stackable meal prep containers – keep your fridge organized so that your meals are ready to go when you are.

• Slow cooker or Instant Pot – Is perfect for soups, stews, beans, or chili you can make in large quantities.

With these tools, you can batch cook three meals at once, clean up less, and feel like you have your life together, even if you don’t.

2. Tools for Making Vegan Mayo Recipes:

Vegan mayo recipes are surprisingly simple, but they can go wrong fast if you don’t have the right tools. If you’re using aquafaba, silken tofu, or cashews, you need something that can blend smooth without creating chunks.

Here’s what helps:

• Immersion blender – works well in small batches and creates a creamy texture fast.
• Mini food processor – great for whipping up small amounts of vegan mayo with garlic, mustard, or lemon.
• Silicone spatulas – get every last drop out of the blender so none of your work goes to waste.

Making your own mayo is cheaper, cleaner, and actually kind of fun once you get it down, and understand the process. You can adjust the flavor exactly how you want, and you’ll never go back to store bought mayo again.

3. Tools That Help in Cooking Classes For Beginners:

If you’re just starting out in the kitchen, taking cooking classes for beginners, even if self taught, it is way easier with a few simple tools.

Here’s a beginner friendly starter pack:

• Digital meat or food thermometer – helps you to stop guessing when something is “done.”
• Nesting measuring cups and spoons – makes measuring easier, especially when you’re following specific recipes.
• Non-stick sauté pan – makes cooking eggs, stir-frys, or veggies way less stressful and is also easier to clean.

Even if you’re not taking official cooking classes, these are great for learning and getting more comfortable in the kitchen.

4. Brinjal aka Eggplant Friendly Tools

Eggplant is also known as brinjal in many parts of the world. It can also be tricky to cook. It soaks up oil like a sponge, turns mushy if you’re not careful, and can sometimes taste bitter. However, with the right tools, it’s easier to master.

Here’s what helps to cook it:

• Mandoline slicer – lets you get perfect even slices for roasting or layering in dishes like eggplant lasagna.
• Air fryer – crisps it up without deep frying.
• Baking rack – use it when salting brinjal to drain bitterness out before cooking.

You can also soak the slices in salted water before cooking to improve texture and taste.

5. Miscellaneous Kitchen Tools That Are Game Changers

These don’t fit neatly into one category, but they seriously make cooking life better:

• Clip-on pot strainers – allows you to drain pasta or beans without needing a separate colander.
• Garlic rocker – crushes garlic without needing to peel or dice it, and your hands won’t smell.
• Jar openers – makes it easier to open tightly sealed jars without hurting your wrist.

If you’ve ever skipped cooking just because there are too many steps, these tools are here to help.
