For many, cooking certain foods recommended in The Skintervention Guide is a new and unfamiliar prospect. There are a few key devices that can shorten the learning curve and make things easier!
Note: We have linked to the Amazon marketplace, as this is a central location for national shipping. However, these products are also available at almost any department store or kitchen supply store.
Large kitchen gadgets
- Crock Pot/Slow Cooker (ideal for all-day cooking of soups, chili or stew)
- Stovetop or Electronic Pressure Cooker (ideal for fast cooking & tenderizing of lean cuts of meat)
- Toaster oven (not for toast, but for fast baking and quick re-heating without a microwave!)
- Berkey Water Filter (one of the best, most reliable water filters on the market; they also have smaller versions)
- Home dehydrator (for jerky, etc.)
- Blendtec blender (among the highest-quality, most solid blenders on the market, aside from Vitamix)
Small Kitchen Gadgets
- Salad shooter (for easy, fast shredding and slicing of veggies)
- Magic Bullet (a more affordable, versatile blending device)
- Hand blender/food processor/immersion blender combo (a favorite, ideal multi-purpose tool)
- Paderno “Zoodler” (device allows you to make noodles out of your favorite vegetables!)
- Jaccard meat tenderizer (ideal for tenderizing grass-fed meats)
- Vidalia Chop Wizard (a great way to “chop” veggies, especially root veggies, uniformly)
Cookware
(Note: We do not recommend non-stick pans due to the industrial chemicals used in their coating. A bit of healthy cooking fat in a cast iron or enameled skillet is just as good! The best cast iron is found in antique stores – vintage, high-quality, and easily re-seasoned!)
- Lodge Brand cast iron pans, grill pans, and cookware (Lodge brand is pre-seasoned)
- Le Creuset enameled cast iron skillets, dutch ovens & pans (top of the line)
- Lodge Brand enameled cast iron skillets, dutch ovens & pans (economy)
- Cuisinart stainless steel cookware
- All-clad stainless steel steamer
- Silicone Silpat baking sheets
Standard Supplies
- Parchment paper (for lining baking sheets)

- Cheesecloth (for straining broth)
- Wooden cooking utensils
- Cast iron pan handle protector
- Glass storage containers & BPA-free lids (replaces plastic tupperware)
