I would change out proteins and carbs weekly, and I typically avoided using rice because it was always inconsistent. I read the reviews on the Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and decided I'd take a chance. I've been religiously using it for about two years now, and not a single time has the rice been anything less than perfect. ## Wonder Oven This oven air fries, bakes, roasts, toasts, broils, and reheats food in minutes with one touch. > This oven is just amazing! It’s become my go-to for cooking almost anything because it’s compact, super efficient, and saves a lot of space. The quick cooking time is a game changer, and it’s surprisingly quiet too. ## Vitamix blender This blender creates smoothies, soups, dips, and nut butters with 10 variable speeds and self-cleaning. > Outstanding performance! I use it every single day, and it continues to impress me like nothing I’ve used before. No matter what I toss in, fruits, veggies, nuts, it blends everything into a silky-smooth consistency. ## 4-in-1 vegetable chopper This chopper chops, slices, and dices vegetables into large and small chunks with four interchangeable blades. > Love my chopper! It’s made meal prep so quick and easy! I love chopping my veggies perfectly in seconds, no more squishing tomatoes and no more dreading onions! ## 2-in-1 knife and cutting board This scissor-like tool slices food against a built-in flat surface for quick cuts and easy cleanup. > I absolutely love this! I use it on carrots, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, and so much more... it's so easy to just cut everything right into the cooking/serving dish, and clean up is easy. ## BPA-free olive oil sprayer This sprayer easily seasons food or greases cooking surfaces with a spray or pour option. > So far, very pleased with this, I don't know why I didn't get one sooner, when it is very affordable. [It’s] made of glass, so it feels very sturdy and looks nice. ## Immersion blender This blender controls speed for perfect blending, chopping, and whisking with multiple attachments. > For my meal prepping, soups, stews, and everything in between… love this thing! I can’t believe it took me so long to get one. This seriously saves time and gives a perfect result . EVERYTIME! ## 44 Rubbermaid food storage containers These leakproof containers store meal-prepped dishes and leftovers without washing dishes. > I absolutely love my Rubbermaid Brilliance food storage containers! The quality is outstanding, sturdy, crystal clear, and they still look brand new after repeated use. ## 6-quart Instant Pot and air fryer This multi-cooker handles roast, air fry, bake, and other cooking functions in minutes. > After some careful consideration, I opted to purchase the Instant Pot 6-quart Vortex plus air fryer. This air fryer was an excellent choice to replace my previous one. ## Air fryer cheat sheet magnets These magnets provide quick cooking times and temperatures for air fryer recipes. > Glad we bought this!

I have used the pozole and birria bombs. Both turned out delicious. While they are a bit pricier, these save me a lot of time. ## Two-sided cutting board This board has a stainless-steel side for meat and a wheat-straw side for vegetables. > I am so incredibly happy with this cutting board! I cook a lot of protein at home, and my biggest pet peeve has always been the massive mess and juice running all over my countertops whenever I carve a roasted chicken or cut into a juicy steak. ## Microwavable pasta cooker This pasta cooker makes 1, 4 servings of pasta with a built-in strainer. > A very convenient way to make pasta for one to four people. The container is dishwasher safe and the lid contains a handy measuring method and draining slits. ## Batter dispenser and mixer This tool limits spillage when prepping pancakes or cupcakes without washing bowls. > I found myself in a routine of making pancakes more frequently and wanted an easier way of dispensing and cleaning the mess. I had been using the traditional mixing bowl, whisk, measuring cup, ladle, plus the skillet or griddle. ## Slow-cooker liners These liners make slow cooker cleanup easier by holding food without sticking. > Crock-Pot liners are a total time-saver!
