I love sharing and enjoying a delicious meal with family and friends, especially when I’m able to serve up one of my creations. That means I need to get in and out of the kitchen fast and with as little effort as possible.

I’ve learned over the years that using the right tools can help me get the job done more efficiently and as stress-free as possible. For example, I certainly wouldn’t use a butter knife to carve a turkey, even though it could get the job done with a lot of effort and mess. Having a tried-and-true carving tool on hand, oh yeah, now we’re talking.

I don’t spend tons of money on gadgets, and I wouldn’t recommend that you do either (unless you’re a gadget junkie with tons of storage space in your kitchen). There are tools, though, that can and will change the way you cook. Having the appliances and tools will make cooking so much more enjoyable, simpler, and faster.

Throughout my journey of capturing recipes, I’ll share ideas and recommendations on things I have found to work best. Be on the lookout for Worry-Free Cooking special product recommendations and ideas for making everyday cooking as easy and tasty as possible. And I invite you to share your ideas and recommendations. I’m always ready to try something new.

Here’s to making cooking fun and as stress-free as possible. Enjoy!
