Gift Guide - for the home cook

In our last gift guide post for the season, we'll be discussing gadgets for the kitchen. In a past New Tech Tuesday post we have discussed larger high tech appliances, like stoves and sous-vide machines, but this post will be dedicated to the smaller gadgets you never even knew you needed.

Crock-Pot® Smart Slow Cooker with WeMo® from Belkin


This Crock-Pot comes with an app for your smart phone or tablet which allows you to adjust and monitor cooking times and temperature from anywhere. Of course, it can also be controlled manually if you are at home. It has all of the same features as other Crock-Pots, including cool-touch handles. 


Bag Re-sealer

This gadget allows you to re-seal open bags of food, such as chip bags. They can save lots of much on storage bags as you are able to store food in their original packaging. These keeps food fresh longer than clips. There are several versions of the Bag Re-sealer available, including this one from iTouchless


iPad Sleeves

iPads and tablets have become an important part of the kitchen, giving you recipes, cooking videos and even entertainment at your fingertips as you cook. But the kitchen can be a dangerous place for tablets and smart phones, the liquid and dry ingredients can cause damage to the screen and get into the grooves. There are several sleeves available to keep the iPad safe and dry while in the kitchen, like this one from The Orange Chef
