| Feeding a family shouldn’t feel like a second job |
| We checked in with parents across Healthline to find out what keeps their kitchens ticking day after day. These tools earned their space on our team’s countertops — and deserve a spot on yours, too. |
| 🧅 Mueller box chopper: New mom Lauren says, “I was actually given a box chopper as a housewarming gift, but I never used it until the baby came. I can’t believe I waited so long! It makes food prep much quicker and easier — and there’s less mess, too.” |
| [As someone who spends way too long chopping onions, peppers, and celery, I am definitely going to invest in one of these. Thanks, Lauren!]
|
| 🥤 nutribullet® blender: Editor Ruth Eagle explains, “I’ve only had my nutribullet® for a month, but I use it every day. I love how few bits there are to wash and how powerful it is. I don't have to defrost frozen spinach before I blend it up!” |
| 🍲 Crock-Pot slow cooker: Dad of two Elliot confesses, “I wouldn't go without our Crock-Pot. The after-work, after-school rush is just [chaos], and we’re all too hungry to wait for cooking. In the morning, I'll throw some pre-chopped veg into the slow cooker, some stock, then dumplings, and you’ve got a lovely stew by suppertime.” |
| 🥣 Mixing bowls with lids: Medical editor Susan McBratney believes every family kitchen should have a good set of mixing bowls with lids because they “encourage family cooking, allowing young kids to get involved with simple yet essential tasks, such as stirring ingredients and eating leftover cookie dough! A set of bowls with lids also allows for easy and clean transport, refrigeration, and storage.” |
| This is just a sample of the gadgets, handy tools, delivery services, and nutrition hacks that will help you feed the family when you’re already at full stretch. Check out our entire guide now! |
