If a kitchen gadget does not save me at least an hour a week, it does not earn a spot on my counter. The knife alone cut my prep time by 20 minutes a meal; the slow cooker runs while I ship code; the air fryer replaces 30 minutes of oven preheat. I approach meal prep like a system optimization problem. Note: As a Benable creator, I may earn a commission if you buy through these links, but I only recommend what is in my kitchen.
