Those who love to cook always make time to invest in tools that would make their kitchen better. And you should -- cooking requires not just time, but also a whole lot of effort. Even the best chefs in the world get exhausted in the kitchen.

So, investing in smart kitchen tools will not only save you time, but it helps to lessen effort as well. These days, cooking has to be easy and fun.

Smart Pressure Cooker

If you don't own an Instant Pot yet, it's high time you buy one. This hugely popular kitchen gadget is gaining traction these days thanks to our busy lifestyle. And who would say no to a slow cooker and electronic pressure cooker rolled into one? With this baby, you merely have to set it up and leave the gadget to cook your meals.

The newest version of the Instant Pot comes with an app and W-Fi connectivity, which means you can cook remotely and receive notifications on your phone when your food is ready. The app comes with great recipes designed for the device, too, so really, what more could you ask for?

Smart Coffee Maker

If you can't be a barista, then go get yourself the ENA 8, which is like having your own Starbucks at home. We're all mostly working from home these days, and grabbing a cup of coffee at your local coffee shop is not something that can be done easily, given the limitations set by the new normal.

This gadget, however, can make you 10 different types of coffee, so having this in your kitchen means you wouldn't have to order coffee-to-go. And using the Jura smartphone app, you can command it to make you a coffee while you're elsewhere doing something. Neat, right?

Gas-Powered Oven

While you can always use a regular oven to make a pizza, know that it won't be giving you that authentic crisp base, perfectly cooked toppings, and that charred crust, like the ones cooked from Italy's brick ovens.

But you can always get yourself an Ooni Koda oven, which is powered by gas. This thing jettisons flames in an L-shape along the sides of the oven, which heats up the insides to 500°C max. Five minutes and that perfect pizza is within your hands and your taste buds.

So you see, tech has given kitchens worldwide a makeover, giving it an environment fit for the lifestyles of the modern foodie. What's your favorite kitchen gadget?
