Along the way, we’ll highlight some cool gadgets we found while window shopping on Amazon that could help you out the next time you’re making a meal. Make it thinThis tip comes from our friends over at Delish. In their article on ways to get dinner on the table faster, they recommend slicing ingredients thinly. That can go for protein like chicken or beef, but it can also apply to vegetables, which many would agree take the most time to chop thinly. Thankfully, there are some gadgets on the market that can help chop up your vegetables in a flash, like this vegetable chopper from Fullstar, which can dice small or large, and even comes with a spiral blade in case you want to get fancy in the kitchen. If you want to opt for a simpler model, they do have this chopper that’s activated with your hand. We also found this ingenious mandoline slicer and dicer from the makers at DASH. All it takes is dropping in a veggie like a potato into the slicer and pressing on the pusher to let you slice safely. Your fingers never touch the blades.
