Cooking Made Easy With These Inventions

Cooking Made Easy
Inventions have no limits. Inventors are fantastic at taking common, everyday tasks and making them even easier. Even cooking has been made more convenient through the efforts of inventors. Creative kitchen tools and gadgets debut regularly, but only a few are fantastic enough to stand the test of time. Here are some unique cooking inventions worthy of noting.

The Spaghetti Measure
The spaghetti measure is the perfect way to portion out those starchy calories. Most will measure out one to four servings. The newest design is by Joseph Joseph, an innovative and all around snazzy disk design with an aperture to control the portion sizes. The functionality and compact size of a spaghetti measure makes a great tool for the kitchen.

The Hamburger Press
For those who love the pre-made burger shape but not the cost, the hamburger press is a great time saver in the kitchen. The meat sits on a flat surface while a cup shaped top is pressed into the meat to form the burger. Many presses are designed so that you can mash out burgers at your preferred thickness. The hamburger press is a great way to get perfect patties at home without much mess or time involved.

The Ez Cracker
Who would have thought that there would one day be a handheld tool that cracked eggs for you? The Ez Cracker is just that. This handheld invention takes the mess out of cracking eggs, and even some of the time. It is an appealing luxury for those without the patience for cracking eggs the old fashioned way, and a godsend for individuals who have health conditions that make cracking eggs painful or impossible.

Jar Tops
Many inventors and distributors have brought to the market functional screw on caps that fit most preserve or pickle jars--jars from the “twist off” standard. The inspiration behind these tops was to turn something ordinary, that most people save, into something multifunctional. The lids themselves are made of a sturdy plastic and seal to perfection. With the lids people are able to turn their gourmet jam jar into a creamer dish, their European honey container into a spice shaker, or their Romanian hot pepper jar into a sun tea pitcher.

Jar Openers
Easy twist jar openers are a big hit. They have easy to grip handles that accommodate most hands and help to create leverage for easier lid opening. Most jar openers have different settings, so that different they can be used on different sizes of lids, making the tool very versatile. These are great for people with health issues that make opening jars difficult, painful or impossible. It is a big hit with the elderly and arthritis sufferers.

There are more cooking and kitchen inventions that one person can count. Many of the inventions seen today are simply modifications to well-known tools, making them more efficient or easier to use. Some of the best inventions have revolutionized the way that we cook, clean, and do everyday tasks. Many inventions will never live beyond the fad stage, while others will become mainstays in every home.
