jls99660 11 Posted November 14, 2017 I am looking at my mixers and frying pans today. I don't think those will be my go-to methods in the future. So - if you would like to cook in a more healthy fashion - what do you invest in? Instant Pot? Air Fryer? Vitamix? I keep getting suggestions but wanted to consult this group since you are the living experts. Ideas appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted November 14, 2017 I cook the same way I always did.. pots, pans, oven. It's true I don't bake dessert much any more, and I never was one to deep-fry food. Toying with the idea of getting an instant-pot pressure cooker. Never used one, but quick, tender meat is appealing. Slow cookers are useful, but I can't stand the smell they make in the house. Looking forward to hearing what others have to say... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sadiebug 206 Posted November 15, 2017 The kitchen toys I currently love are my smaller crockpot, my spiralizer and a couple of really good knives. I had a larger crockpot that I used before surgery but after I realized that for the quantities of food that I now eat it was just too big so I downsized. The spiralizer is good for making various sorts of veggie noodles. And the good knives are probably obvious But I spend a lot more time in the kitchen now chopping and preparing foods so having good knives for that makes it so much easier and enjoyable. I'm intrigued by the insta-pots but haven't gotten one yet. 1 Stella S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mel1214 14 Posted November 20, 2017 I have a vitamix that I use every day for smoothies now that I can add fruit and veggies to them. I make a big batch in the morning and portion them into blender bottles and freeze them for later in the day/week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karen_marie 220 Posted November 20, 2017 I'll add my love for my Instant Pot. It's been great in making large batches of soft chicken that I can shred up, and has allowed me to make good meals for my hubby with leftovers to spare. I can't wait to make more recipes in it now that I'm able to add more foods to my diet Mine also came with a little wire insert for cooking/steaming fish and veggies, which I will DEFINITELY be making use of!
