These days, there is a bewildering number of kitchen gadgets and utensils out there. While a lot of them may be unnecessary and take up extra space, quite a few of them can make life a lot easier and help prepare food faster. Here are my favorite seven kitchen tools and why I like them.

Bread Makers: Whoever invented this wonderful device should get a trophy or an award. We use our bread maker all the time to get fresh, homemade bread without all of the hard work. If you love fresh bread at home, consider a bread maker.

Automatic Coffee Maker with Timer: How about a big cup of coffee first thing in the morning, right after you get out of bed? If you set the timer on one of these and add your coffee grounds and water the night before, you will have a perfectly brewed pot of coffee waiting for you when you stumble into the kitchen.

Kitchen Knife Set: I used to make do with an old set of mismatched knives given to me without a knife block. Some of the handles were loose, and they had to be stored in a drawer. The new set sits on the counter top. The edges stay sharp longer, and the set contains knives for most needs. More room in the drawer, too.

Plastic Food Containers: With a set of containers for food storage, saving leftovers is much easier. Many have lids with vents, for use in microwaves. Another way to use them is to freeze food for future use. They look better than old margarine and yogurt containers, too.

Hand Held Blender: Excellent for mixing drinks, whipping potatoes, blending ingredients and more. If you don't have room or money for a canister blendy, find one of these inexpensive mixers instead.

Toaster Oven: A toaster oven can cook toasted items with toppings, like garlic bread and mini pizzas, as well as make toast. Small baking projects are possible too, if you don't want to or can't use a larger oven.

Sandwich Grill: For grilled cheese, tuna melts and patty melts, these grills seal the edge of the sandwich so cheese and other things can't leak out.

And that gives you a rundown of my favorite kitchen gadgets. I hope you got some ideas of what you would like in your own kitchen. I have never regretted buying any of these, and we use most of them on a daily basis, especially the coffee maker!
