A small deep fryer is a perfect fit for those who have a small kitchen or kitchenette, but love the taste of fried foods without having to spend their money at a restaurant or fast food joint. Onion rings, jalapeno peppers, french fries, wontons and tempura shrimp/scallops to name but a few deliciously fried foods can be made for two people easily. A see through lid and easy drain ability are important features when choosing a small deep fryer along with non-slip under padding and a “cool to the touch” casing to avoid possible burning.

Ball glass jars
Whether you make your own preserves, jams, jellies or salsa to use at home, to give away to friends and family as gifts or as a small business venture, using ball glass jars is one of the most common ways to keep your products fresh for later consumption. As a precaution, you should always run the newly bought ball glass jars through the dishwasher first as a way to sterilize them before use. Chances are they are fine right out of the packaging, but better to be safe than sorry.

Microwave egg cooker
If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to eating eggs rather than just frying them up scrambled or over-easy all the time, a microwave egg cooker can help you cook perfect poached, soft, medium or hard boiled eggs easily and consistently every time. The only problem will be that you can only make up to four eggs at a time and you will most likely have to figure out the best cooking time for consistently cooked eggs to your liking. But after that, you’ll always have great eggs whenever you want them.
