4 Summer Kitchen Gadgets You Didn’t Know You Needed
Everyone knows about watermelon ballers and apple corers. But those commonplace tools are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the kitchen gadgets you can use to truly enjoy fruit this spring and summer. Take a look at these four innovative products.
1. Pineapple Corer/Slicer
SameTech Easy Kitchen Tool Stainless Steel Fruit Pineapple Peeler Corer Slicer Cutter — $14.99
This multifunctional gadget is a #1 bestseller on Amazon for a reason. Not only does it remove the “meat” of the pineapple from the peel with one simple motion, but it also comes with a little wedger attachment to create perfectly sized pineapple chunks.
2. Strawberry Slicer
Are you the type of person who lops off the tops of your strawberries and calls it a day? Now you can take the extra step with this strawberry slicer. The resulting pieces are great on their own for a summertime snack, and they can also make for great additions to ice cream.
3. Banana Slicer
1pc creative Plastic Banana Slicer Cutter Fruit Vegetable Tool — $7.50
I bet you didn’t realize until this very moment that you needed a banana slicer. I know I certainly didn’t! But the Amazon description raises a good point—whenever I chop up bananas myself for cereal or peanut butter & banana sandwiches, I always end up with pieces of varying sizes. Problem solved!
4. Avocado Cutter
Perhaps the single most useful item on this entire list, the Luxear avocado slicer helps with both steps of the avocado-preparing process. As you can see in the image, it features a circular center to remove the pit. Then its outer part functions as the slicer. Anyone who has ever tried to cut up an avocado without one of these know that it can create a mess. It also wastes precious avocado, and avocados are not cheap! With inflation continuing apace, it is critical that we save money anywhere we can.
