Yummy Body Nutrition’s Picks for Our Favorite Amazon Kitchen Products 

Ninja AF101 Air Fryer

This air fryer by Ninja enables you to cook air-fried versions of your favorite foods with significantly less oil than traditional frying methods. We love cooking with an air fryer because it makes throwing together a meal simple. For example, you can simply season a piece of chicken, place it in the air fryer, and set the timer to cook. This product gives food a crispy, crunchy texture (which works wonderfully for reheating leftovers and prevents them from getting soggy). A major advantage of this product is that it reaches high temperatures quickly, making meal preparation faster. Overall, the air fryer is extremely versatile and can cook virtually anything from fish to potatoes to brussel sprouts

OXO Good Grips Salad Chopper With Bowl 

This kitchen product features a stainless steel blade to quickly and easily slice fruit and vegetables in a rounded bowl that can hold up to 5.5 quarts.  This product allows you to chop any salad into bite-size pieces for easy meal preparation. Additionally, the blade is sharp enough to cut up most toppings such as meat, fish, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, potatoes, and nuts. Overall, this product is extremely durable and easy to clean.

This blender from Ninja features a 72-ounce pitcher and two 16-ounce to-go cups with lids, allowing you to take multiple servings of your creation on the go!  The 1100-watt motor is powerful enough to easily chop, mince, and blend ingredients.

Pyrex Simply Store 24-Pc Glass Food Storage Container Set with Lid

Kitchen products for storage are just as important as kitchen products for cooking.  This is where Pyrex glass food storage containers come in.  We love these containers because they are BPA-free and dishwasher, microwave, and freezer-safe, allowing you to store your prepared food and minimize food waste. This set comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to store everything you need for the week.

Utopia Kitchen 12 Inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet – Frying Pan

We love this kitchen product because it can be used on the stovetop and in the oven. It is an inexpensive kitchen product that is extremely durable.  A cast iron skillet evenly cooks the food, leaving a great sear or browning. Using a skillet is a great alternative to grilling if you live in an apartment or on cold, rainy days.  The only drawback is that it requires you to hand wash, dry, and lightly oil it. Despite this, it is one of the best kitchen products to purchase that will last a lifetime.

What is not to love about a slow cooker? This kitchen product allows you to throw in all the components of a balanced plate (protein, carbohydrate, and vegetable), walk away, and return to a fully cooked meal. This slow cooker from Hamilton Beach is large (holds up to 7 quarts), features multiple time and temperature settings, and is dishwasher safe.  This kitchen product is versatile and can be used to prepare dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Do you often spend money at coffee shops or order lattes with tons of added sugar? Let us introduce you to this electric milk steamer from EZBASICS. This kitchen product automatically foams milk for coffee, lattes, or cappuccinos in only a few minutes. It also has a warming setting, so you can prepare milk for hot and iced beverages. We love this kitchen product because it allows you to create a delicious treat at home with ingredients you recognize and gives you control of the portions. For example, you can easily whip up a homemade pumpkin spiced latte with real pumpkin puree, a serving size of maple syrup, and your favorite milk of choice!

Spiralizer 7-Blade Vegetable Slicer

This slicer from Spiralizer is a great way to spice up your vegetable game! This product comes with seven different blades to create everything from vegetable pasta to curly fries to veggie chips.
