Thought I would start a thread with the kitchen tools/gadgets, etc. that help me stay on track while losing weight and trying to eat clean. Please add your favourites too!

Juicer
Small blender (ie. Magic Bullet, etc).
One touch chopper
Immersion blender (for quick soups –> veggies + broth simmered then blended!)
Meat thermometer (for perfect chicken breasts)
Kitchen scale
Good set of measuring cups and spoons
Air popper for popcorn
Good containers for fridge/freezer (I use mason jars and glass containers with snap lids).
Salad spinner (when I buy romaine lettuce I clean it all at once and store it in xl ziplocs with a kitchen towel – I’m more apt to use it that way!)
A good "big" knife and paring knives!

    My immersion blender gets used way more than I ever thought it would when I bought it. Just a couple "zhushes" in a pot of soup makes it thicker and heartier. Love it! Mine came with a tall cup where I also can easily whip up home made salad dressings or marinades.

    Instant read meat thermometer
    SHARP kitchen knives: one chef's knife, one serrated, one paring
    Digital kitchen scale (effortlessly goes between grams and ounces, has a tare button)
    Salad spinner: great for washing salad greens, herbs, anything leafy. Especially great for when I grow my own in the summer
