Kitchen Tools
ELECTRIC MUG
Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug
Put a finger down if you have to reheat your coffee or tea, one or more times in the morning. OK, Put a finger down if you misplace your coffee or tea at least once in the morning only to find it later sad and cold. Put a finger down if it takes 3 hours to drink one cup of your morning brew because you are making lunches, getting kids ready for school, and dropping kids off at school. If you have at least 1 finger down you will love an Ember mug. Travel-insulated mugs are great but I LOVE drinking out of an actual mug. This was on last year’s Christmas wish list and Santa delivered. Final review…I FREAKING LOVE IT!
Microplane – Mincer
Microplane Classic Zester Grater
The Microplane is essential in my kitchen, easily ranking in my top 10 must-have tools. It’s simple and multipurpose: it zests, grates, and minces with ease. My go-to for mincing garlic. Its compact size is a huge plus, saving valuable kitchen space while eliminating the need for multiple gadgets. It;
Kitchen Appliances
Hand Held Milk Frother
Maestri House Rechargeable Milk Frother
Giving up coffee when I adopted a low histamine diet was HARD. But Roobios tea and frothed milk have eased the pain. Being able to get a good froth on my milk makes all the difference. This handheld does a great job and is a good solution when you are on the go. I also love that it is rechargeable.
Manual Milk Frother
Giving up coffee when I adopted a low histamine diet was HARD. But Roobios tea and frothed milk have eased the pain. Being able to get a good froth on my milk makes all the difference. 45 seconds with this manual frother yields a seriously impressive froth. This is a great option when you are on the go or camping.
Milk Frother and Steamer
Nespresso Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
I have already mentioned twice above the importance of frothed milk in helping to ease the pain of giving up coffee. Being able to get a good froth on my milk makes all the difference, so when I discovered I could heat AND froth my milk all at once…I was sold. When I asked around for recommendations, this Nespresso was mentioned over and over. It’s not the cheapest option but it is one of the best. For a bit of savings, go for “last year’s model”, the Aeroccino3. It’s a sleeker design but it doesn’t have as many foam options as the Aeroccino 4.
Electric Kettle
Gooseneck Electric Kettle with Temperature Control
Because different herbal teas need different water temperatures to steep, an electric kettle is a kitchen must-have. This kettle has 5 temperature settings that work for different kinds of tea. It heats quickly and looks nice on your countertop.
Air Fryer
Instant Vortex Plus 4QT Air Fryer
The #1 kitchen appliance I use on a low histamine diet is an Air Fryer. I have tried a few brands and this is my favorite. It’s like a healthy microwave, a quick easy option to reheat or cook your food. I love the way it cooks chicken, french fries, and veggies.
Food Processor
Cuisinart Food Processor, Pro Custom 11 Cup
A food processor is one of my most used small appliances. I have used Cuisinart for years and it never fails to perform. Couple that with the customer service and the access to replacement parts and you have a winner in my book.
BLENDER
Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender
There are many blenders on the market to choose from but I have put my Vitamix blender through hell and back and it is still pulverizing food just as it did on the first day I opened that bad boy up. This thing blends so fast it can actually HEAT the food up if you let it run long enough.
Supplements
Diamine Oxidase (DAO) Supplements
Ancestral Supplements Grass Fed Beef Kidney Supplement
I know it seems kind of gross but would you rather eat Kidney? No. So this is the next best thing. This is a clean, natural way to get a supplement of the DAO Enzyme. Always check with your health care provider before you introduce a new supplement into your diet.
Low-Histamine Probiotic Supplement
Seeking Health ProBiota HistaminX
This probiotic supplement supports your body’s natural digestive processes without including histamine-producing strains. Always check with your health care provider before you introduce a new supplement into your diet.
