I’m a mom and I would be lying if I said I like to cook BUT here are the things I use in my kitchen that make cooking so much easier. This is my list of top 10 kitchen gifts for busy moms who like (or HATE) to cook.

1. Air Fryer

I absolutely LOVE my air-fryer and use it every single day.  I love the fact that I can put in any food, set a timer, maybe shake the basket half way through, and in 10-20 minutes I can have a delicious meal.  I hate standing over the stove while the food cooks and I hate having to stir the food so the set it and forget method is my go to for cooking.

2. InstaPot

It’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker and can also sauté food.  With just one kitchen gadget you can sauté veggies, brown meet, add water, and slow cook for hours.  Need to cook meat fast, there’s a setting for that!  We use it every week in my household. I LOVE it!

3. Keureg

What momma doesn’t need her morning cup of Joe!?  This kitchen gadget makes it super easy to make your morning cup.  Just put in the Pod and press start.  No measuring.  And you can even schedule your coffee to made for busy mornings. 

4. Stand mixer

I use my stand mixer for all kinds of things.  I make pancakes/ waffles often and I love how I can throw in the ingredients and don’t have to hold the mixer.  I like the KitchenAid because you can also get the attachments and it becomes a lot more versatile. I’ve used it to make zoodles, and sweet potato ribbons.

5. Vitamix

This is the ULTIMATE blender.  I used to blend all of my kids food in it when they were babies and its the one blender that made the purees the smoothest, and I tried a couple of different blenders.  

6. Ninja blender

I use this kitchen gadget to make protein shakes and smoothies and it blends all the ingredients super well!  I hate having chunks in my shake… gross, and, its much easier to clean than the vitamix, food processor, or standard mixer.

7. Electric wine bottle opener

Makes opening those bottles a lot easier.  Who wants to go through trouble just for a drink? Especially on those frustrating days where you just want to sit back and relax and let the hubby deal with the kids. This kitchen gadget makes opening those bottles a breeze. Nowadays, it’s as easy as pressing a button.

8. Electric can opener

Opening a can has never been easier and you don’t get the sharp edges from a traditional can opener.  I used to have to be so careful when opening a can and I would freak out if the kids grabbed the top by mistake (my guy is a little helper), but now I don’t worry. He can help out and I know he won’t get hurt.

9. Non stick pots and pans

Because who wants to scrub and scrub just to clean up after an evening of cooking?  Not me that’s for sure.  Thats the last thing on my mind.  I recommend the Ninja cookware set.  I just received them and LOVE them so much. Before, I used to spend time soaking the pans, then scrubbing, and it was so annoying. Nowadays, the food just rinses off. Super convenient.

10. Good mixing bowl set

For the mommas that love to cook and bake, a nice mixing bowl set would be amazing.  I use my bowls all the time, for pancakes, adding spices to my veggies before throwing them in the air fryer, defrosting meat, etc.  Every family needs mixing bowls

If you’re a mom with other helpful gift ideas, let me know in the comments! Always looking for things to add to my wish list that might also help other moms.
