8 kitchen tools the author credits for sticking to a no-takeout resolution

According to People, the article's author says they still haven't broken their New Year’s resolution to avoid ordering takeout and credits a handful of time-saving kitchen tools for the change.

Meal prepping is cited as the key to keeping nutritious, ready-to-eat breakfasts, lunches and dinners on hand, and the author lists gadgets used to streamline Sunday prep and one-off meals: a Hamilton Beach portable blender ($20), Souper Cubes silicone freezer molds ($22) and stoneware single-portion baking dishes ($40), a Fullstar Pro Food Chopper ($26) with four stainless steel blade attachments and a 5-cup catch tray, a Yoyouth chicken shredder tool ($14), an Awlkim meat thermometer ($7), GoodCook nonstick baking sheets ($17) and an S Salient 18-piece glass food storage set ($34). The piece also notes benefits of glass containers — that they don’t contain microplastics, resist stains and withstand extreme oven or freezer temperatures — and describes the silicone molds as four one-cup compartments with lids that are oven-safe to 415 degrees Fahrenheit.

The author urges readers to consider these tools to cut down on takeout and says more Amazon picks follow in the article for anyone who wants additional options.
