Kitchen Gadgets

I don't know about you, but I could get lost in kitchen supply stores looking at all the gadgets.   Do I juice lemons that often?  No, but do I want that yellow juicing tool for my house?  Yes.  Do I ever chop up fresh garlic?  Absolutely not, I've got already minced garlic in my fridge.  But do I feel like I need a garlic zoom to chop fresh garlic efficiently?  You betcha.  So I love a good kitchen gadget, and there's truly a gadget for everything, but there's one kitchen gadget that reigns supreme in Indiana and Kentucky.

You're Bound to Find This Gadget in Local Kitchens

Recently a study was conducted by Mr. Appliance, and they looked at data online to determine the most popular kitchen gadget in each state.  This is a super niche study, but I'm glad someone conducted it!   When looking through the most popular gadgets by state I found that both Hoosiers and Kentuckians alike have an affinity for air fryers.

Every Christmas for the past few years someone in my family has gotten an air fryer. It seems to be the go-to gift.  And if you have an air fryer you know how handy these little gadgets are.  According to Mr. Appliance not only are air fryers the most popular kitchen gadget in Indiana and Kentucky, but they also top the charts for the most coveted kitchen gadget according to their research.
