Cook faster with these gadgets while in quarantine

If you're self-isolating right now or have a shelter-in-place mandate, you're likely in one of two camps: trying all of the new recipes or tired of cooking every meal. Or maybe you're loving cooking but just need a break every once in a while so you can figure out what culinary delight to attempt next. Whatever your needs, we have gadgets that will help make your time in the kitchen easier and faster.

Breville Smart Countertop Oven Air in Use

Remember the good old days when we could just go out to eat when we didn’t feel like cooking? Sure, there is takeout, but it’s not quite the same. And some people don’t feel comfortable getting food from anywhere right now. You’d rather know that your food is made in a safe, clean environment and not getting coughed on by someone with coronavirus. Hey, you just never know. If you are trying to avoid cooking as much or want to just get it done, you can cook faster with these gadgets.

Maybe you’re concentrating on baking and trying new recipes out that you’ve been sitting on for a while. Or maybe you’re in a bread-baking mode. If you’re focused on something specific, you might not want to mess around with the monotony of breakfast, lunch, or dinner when you can concentrate on making desserts. I mean, stressed spelled backward is desserts, and we’re all a little stressed right now and could use some relief.

So strap on your apron, wash your hands, and get to cooking.
