Several years ago I was preparing for a study-abroad trip to Japan when one of the program directors told the group of assembled students that we should write our names in our clothes, pledge not to speak English outside the classroom, and plan on buying all our lunches from the convenience store across the street.

I was shocked. Was he seriously suggesting that we eat gas-station hot dogs and potato chips for three months straight? But that was just because I’d never actually seen a 7-Eleven in Japan, and I had no idea just how much really good food a person could find there for not a lot of money.

When you work for a home-cooking site, there are certain assumptions made about you. One is that you love to cook (which is true for all of us!); the other is that because you love to cook, you must relish every single moment of chopping, peeling, and grating. And to that we say … um, sorry, no.

We all have busy schedules, with families to feed and friends to see, so sometimes we rely on handy little gadgets to help us take shortcuts in the kitchen and make the cooking process speedier and more efficient. (Kitchn editors! They’re just like us!)

Here are our guilty-pleasure kitchen tools that make life in the kitchen so much easier.

As if the Instant Pot didn’t already make it super easy (and fun!) to get dinner on the table, there’s something new coming out that will make it all even easier. Williams Sonoma has created the first-ever line of food designed exclusively with Instant Pot.

Oh, the dream of living in Paris. When I’m vacationing in France I always make sure to stay in an apartment in a real neighborhood away from the selfie-snapping swarms, and every day I wake up to the most pleasurable of questions: What shall I eat today?

Sick of shiplap yet? It’s the little wall siding that could, chugging its way all across America these days. We’ve seen it in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and even inside showers. Oh, and it is apparently all over a certain Texas town called Waco — maybe you’ve heard of it?

Whether you are a diehard devotee, a grudging admirer, or just looking for another reason to hate it, know that shiplap has at least one major check in the “con” column.
