Every household pretty much has a set of their essential kitchen tools and equipment to aid them in their kitchen needs. But if you're still looking for the best kitchen tools to make cooking easier and healthier, here are some suggestions you can buy.

Double-Sided Pan
Unlike conventional frying pans, the double-sided pan can cook your meat without worrying about the smoke and smell from cooking. The multipurpose kitchen tool allows you to grill meat, chicken,and fish, cook stew or soup, and even pop popcorn and bake chiffon cake. Double-sided pans are made with silicon pressure packing that cooks your food quickly over low heat and reduces nutrition loss from them. Instead of frying foods in single pans, which adds unnecessary fats and calories, you're using healthier alternative cooking methods such as roasting, grilling, broiling, and baking in double-sided pans. You can cook with little to no oil and its double enclosed pan gives an oven effect when you close the lid, making sure that the heat is sealed inside while keeping it tender and juicy.

2 Tier Bamboo Steamer with Lid
Steaming is considered to be a very healthy way of cooking. This method of cooking will help your food retain nutrients and flavor better. it is recommended especially with fresh vegetables, preventing it from becoming soggy. Rice cookers usually come with metal steamers, but if yours doesn't, then purchase a bamboo steamer. What's great about it is that it can absorb excess steam and as a result, there's less build up of the moisture inside. It's very affordable and durable, but it can still turn out very delicious meals in minutes!
