5 Must Have Pampered Chef Products for Any Kitchen

If you want to save time in the kitchen, here are my top five favorite Pampered Chef products designed to help you do just that. These are listed in no particular order.

Food Chopper:This is an excellent tool for salsas or anything else that requires a lot of chopping. Cut and peel vegetables, then place them under the chopper. Give it a few slaps, and your food is chopped and ready to go. You can use it directly on the cutting board, or place the bottom cover on it to hold the food inside. This item is $29.50 and comes with a 3 year warranty. It comes apart into three pieces for easy cleaning and is dishwasher safe. It comes in the New Consultant Kit, too. Save tremendous amounts of time compared to cutting and chopping countless fruits and vegetables for salads or salsa.

Deep Covered Baker: This is a new addition to the Stoneware collection, and is very versatile because it is microwave, oven, and freezer safe. Make a pork tenderloin in the Microwave in 8 minutes flat! Next time you don't know what's for dinner, go to the store, grab something, throw it in the baker and relax. This is $69 and comes with a 3 year warranty. This, as with all other Stoneware products is recommended hand wash only.

Coating Trays and Tool: Next time you're breading chicken, save yourself the mess and hassle. The Pampered Chef Coating Trays and tool allows you to store egg and bread crumbs in different trays so you don't have to worry about finding bowls that are big enough. The tool holds the meat and allows you to dip it to ensure it's covered. These are safe for the microwave so you can melt chocolate or caramel too. This product is $21.50, comes with a 3 year warranty, and is dishwasher safe. The trays will stack on top of one another for easy storage.

Measure Mix and Pour: For $11.50, the next time you want to make your own salad dressing, you can in a cinch. Measure the ingredients, mix them all together and pour it right into the dish with one utensil. No more extra dishes to wash! This comes with a 1 year warranty and even has recipes printed on the side.

Slice 'N Serve: This handy tool is perfect for pizzas and pies. Turn it to the side to slice, and scoop it up to serve onto a plate. This item is $7.50, comes with a 3 year warranty, and saves time and hassle-not to mention messes, associated with using a knife and fork to cut and serve. Best of all, it's dishwasher safe.

With these five items in your kitchen, you'll save so much time you may be able to take a few minutes to yourself each day!
