You don't need a big appliance to make cooking easier. These small, affordable tools solve everyday annoyances in Sri Lankan kitchens.
The gadgets
- Garlic press: no more peeling and chopping garlic for every curry. Press peeled or unpeeled cloves straight into the pan, then rinse immediately.
- Vegetable & fruit cutter / peeler: peel carrots, potatoes and cucumbers quickly with less waste.
- Lemon squeezer: gets more juice than squeezing by hand and keeps seeds out of your juice or salad.
- Dumpling maker: place a wrapper, add filling and press β perfect, sealed dumplings or patties every time.
- Electric milk frother: whip warm milk into foam for cafΓ©-style coffee, or mix hot chocolate and milk powder without lumps.
- Mini sealing machine / bag sealer: re-seal opened packets of biscuits, chips and spices so they stay crisp and fresh.
Care and cleaning
Rinse tools straight after use so food doesn't dry on. For battery-operated gadgets, clean only the parts that touch food and keep the handle and battery area dry.
Gift idea
Two or three of these together make a practical housewarming or new-home gift.
