1. Tabletop Oil Mister:

This little tool is perfect for reducing oil content in meals. Instead of pouring spray oil on your fresh salads, grills and pans etc. spraying helps to cover surface evenly and reduces the need of adding too much oil.  And, it is reusable. Get it from Amazon for $30.

2. Egg Yolk Separator: 

The yolk (yellow portion) of the egg contains significant amounts of cholesterol. After certain limits,cholesterol is not good for heart. This egg yolk separator helps to separate the yolk from egg whites without creating a mess. A very handy tool. Get it from Amazon for $5.45.

Food processors are very useful in preparation of a variety of dishes. They save you tons of time especially, when you are cooking for parties, gatherings etc. In my kitchen, I use the 12-cup Sous Chef Breville Food Processor. I have been using it since the last 1 year and I absolutely love it. It is a bit expensive but I feel my money is well spent on this one. If you decide to buy one it is available on Amazon for $320. Or you can choose other brands like kitchen aid or Cuisinart that are less expensive than Breville.

If properly seasoned and maintained, cast iron pans and pots are the best to use in kitchen. These are cheaper than regular stainless steel and non-stick pans.
