Gadgets

Over the past few years ive acquired some gadgets that are both fun and extremely functional, especially when their purpose is to extend the shelf life of produce. The avo saver is 10000% my favorite of the bunch.

Avo Saver

No more brown avocados! This thing is amazing. Simply slice your avo in half and nest it into the avo saver. Mine generally last 2-3 days as opposed to 15 minutes without it. I’ve heard you can rub lemon on the exposed avo to help make it last but I’ve never tried – mostly because I don’t want to taint the taste of my beautiful fruit.

Spatula set

I like the weight and clean look of these. They're a must for scraping any lingering remains in your blender. They also don’t get anything stuck in the crevices like wood spatulas. You know what I'm talking about.

Note: only works for avocado’s that are ripe.

Lemon Saver

Idk what sorcery is behind this little contraption but it seriously works. My halved lemons last quite a bit longer than storing them any other way.

Onion Saver

Same reason as above.

Glass Mixing Bowls

TBH I mostly like them because they're pretty but the different sizes work really well for prep and baking. They're also very durable and can potentially double as serving bowls. Pretty AND functional...bowls after my own heart.
