Cooking at home is inevitably healthier than eating out at restaurants and fast food places – if you know what’s going in the dish, it’s easier to control. But, there are still ways you can make your meals even healthier without sacrificing taste. These stores carry cooking gadgets that make healthy cooking a breeze.
Measuring and weighing your ingredients during food prep is one of the most important steps for eating healthy. Hillaby’s carries high quality Escali scales, tested to military standards for quality assurance. In addition to electronics and gadgets, Hillaby’s also stocks bakeware, cookware and knives from multiple quality brands, such as Cuisipro, Miyabi, Staub, Brown Betty and Dualit.
Every gadget and gizmo needed to steam, puree and bake a healthy meal can be found at Bella Casa. Pick up all the tools you need for meal prep, and you’ll find it much easier to eat healthy. They carry several top-notch brands of knives (perfect for chopping veggies!) including Miyabi, Henckels, Wüsthof and Global Knives. Or, pick up a salad spinner and bottles for your olive oil and balsamic vinaigrettes (ideal for making healthy homemade salad dressing!) from brands like Zyliss.
This cute kitchenwares shop, located in Sherwood Park, carries several high-end juicers from Breville. Choose between the juice fountain compact (perfect if you don’t have a lot of counter space), the juice fountain elite (the biggest and best of the bunch, with a 3-litre pulp compartment) and the juice fountain plus (slightly smaller, with a 2.5-litre pulp holder, but much less expensive). Any of these juicers will help you get your fill of veggies and fruit in a healthy, fast and convenient form.
They carry such amazing, environmentally friendly products that help you eat healthier. One way to keep your produce fresher for longer by sealing it with Abeego Flats food storage variety pack. It’s a reusable alternative to plastic wrap made from hemp and cotton, and is infused with beeswax, tree resin and jojoba oil. The material conforms to your eggplants, cucumbers and various veggies and other healthy food items – just press and wrap it to seal food and keep it fresh for days. The longer your veggies stick around, the more likely you will eventually cave and eat them, right?
This store is full of products that will be your new best friends in the kitchen, such as the Microplane herb mill. It uses surgical grade stainless steel blades to cut fresh herbs for your meals. It makes it easy to add flavour via dill, parsley, rosemary, cilantro and sage, keeping calories and mess to a minimum while maximizing deliciousness. The top is removable, so it’s easy to fill, and can easily store a big amount of your favourite herbs – better yet, it even looks good on your table.
Pick up an assortment of tools for healthy living at this cute store. One of the best gadgets is their variety of electronic kitchen scales.

This beautiful, stainless steel scale, designed by Stefano Giovannoni, has an easy-to-read digital display – no more squinting at lines on an old-fashioned scale! Measuring your portions is the easiest way to ensure you’re not overeating, so put this healthy eating tool to good use at every meal.
This store is full of gadgets and appliances that can help you eat healthier. The Philips Viva Digital Air Fryer is one of those. Wait, can fried food be healthy? The answer is, sort of – this fryer uses little to no oil but can still crisp your fries, deep fry your doughnuts and make fried chicken just like mamma used to – but healthier. Hot air circulates perfectly around the inside of the fryer, giving the same results as a deep fryer with as little as a teaspoon of oil, meaning you get all of the crunch without fat.
