I know, in summer we eat more salads and lots of fruit... but you won't deny that it also brings many other delicious but not so healthy things, like tapas and appetizers among which fried foods are the most popular, the occasional cold beer too many, or those delicious and rich creamy ice creams that we so deserved given the heat.
Whether it's because of these excesses or because of the return to routine, starting a new school year often brings with it new resolutions, such as having a healthy diet. So we bring you a list of the 6 essential utensils for a healthy kitchen :
1. A pressure cooker:
With pressure cookers you not only shorten cooking times, but they also allow you to steam or cook with less water, thus preserving the nutrients in food much better and preparing light and healthy meals... while preserving all the flavour!
Another alternative to the pressure cooker for steaming is the Bra steamer , a very versatile set that will also be part of your daily life.

2. Spirelli 2.0. by Gefu:
Cooking can be healthy, but it should also be attractive! With fun cutters like the Spirelli or the Spiralfix you can prepare a wide variety of salads and recipes with the wok or in the pan that are much more fun and appetizing. Eating vegetables will be much more appealing!

3. A wok:
Cooking in a wok involves cooking with little oil and fat, but with great flavour - food cooked in a short time and combinations of vegetables, fish, meat, tofu, rice... really tasty, varied and healthy.

4. An iron grill:
Do you know why the grill is the summer utensil par excellence? Because you can grill meat or fish on it using very little oil, also releasing the fats that the food itself contains. If the grill is also made of iron , you will get a much more authentic flavour and it will last a lifetime.
5. Opinel vegetable knife and Gefu oval peeler
If you are determined to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, you cannot live without the Opinel curved blade knife : you will peel this type of food very comfortably, and thanks to its thin blade you only remove the skin, keeping all the pulp.
And for tough-skinned vegetables like carrots or potatoes, the best peeler we've tested is the Rösle oval peeler .

6. A teapot:
Infusions will help you cleanse your body, satisfy your hunger, accompany a meal between meals, enjoy a moment of peace... And there is no better way to enjoy tea than with an authentic whistling teapot .
