Cooking is time consuming, we know! That’s why we’re always looking for possibilities to be more efficient while finding new, creative ways to make keto recipes. Here are a few tools we use multiple times a week and believe are truly worth investing in. Take a look at some keto recipes
Food Scale
A food scale is a must if you’re counting calories and macros. Many of our ingredients are listed by weight to provide accurate nutritional data.
Food Processor
We consider a food processor critical to our kitchen arsenal. Our favorite one for the past two years has been the NutriBullet. The blending containers double as to-go containers with different lids so you can use them just about anywhere. They’re also super easy to clean/dishwash.
Electric Hand Mixer
Beating an egg white by hand to get stiff peaks is just silly these days! Save your muscles and invest in a basic electric hand mixer. They speed things up exponentially and make beating and mixing a breeze.
Spiralizer
A spiralizer makes vegetables in noodles quickly. This is great for low carb “pasta” dishes, soups and more keto recipes. You can get a hand-held spiralizer or the fullsize spiralizer with multiple options like thin and thick noodles and ribbons.
