If you’re like me, the last thing you want to do after a long day of work is cook. It’s much easier to sit back and order takeout or Postmates instead of making dinner (not to mention doing the dishes!) while you binge-watch your favorite Netflix series. With just a flick of the wrist, your meal shows up at your doorstep. Of course, after you’re done eating, then comes the guilt: you ended up burning a larger hole in your wallet than you had planned just to avoid whipping something up for yourself.

Fortunately, for us millennials who are clueless in the kitchen (or any generation, really) there are plenty of easy-to-use kitchen gadgets that make cooking for yourself at home so much easier—and they won’t break the bank either.

Trust me, from one tired 9-to-5 employee to another, the kitchen gadgets below are well worth the investment—they’ll save you time and money in the long run.

The Chef'n VeggiChop is a hand powered food chopper that slices and dices your sales veggies, you name it, in just seconds. Ideal for salads, salsa and my personal favorite, guacamole, this versatile kitchen aid is a game-changer for food preparation and easy cleanup.
