烹饪是一件美好的事情，除非是在某个周三的晚上8点，你拖着饥饿的身体匆忙地剁肉和炖菜，而你的肚子叫得比货运列车还响。在这种时候，任何可以减少晚餐准备时间的工具，都堪比是邓布利多的魔法。那些耐心不足的厨师，请注意：魔法是存在的，至少是在厨房里。这些便利的工具可以帮助你以想象不到的速度准备好一顿饭。以下13种节省时间的工具，可以拯救你的晚餐，以及你的理智。 VeggiChop手拉式食品切碎机 这款颠覆性的切碎机能让你轻松淡定地处理小批量的切割工作。它几乎可以瞬间切出一盘蒜泥、土豆泥、洋葱酱和鳄梨酱。而且只需要在切割后拿掉刀片——嘭！——它又变成了可以密封的储存盒。此外，如果你很喜欢像《马利与我》（Marley and Me）结束时那样流泪，那么用它切洋葱的话会很棒。 Amazon有售，20美元 栅格饼皮模具 老实说：职场女性真的有时间给馅饼做栅格饼皮吗？威廉•索拿马公司（Williams-Sonoma）深知其中难处，所以他们提供了一种快捷方式。你只需要揉好面团（喜欢的话你还可以直接从商店买面团），把它按在模具上，再盖在你的馅饼上。一切就搞定了。 williams-sonoma.com有售，20美元 菠萝去心、去皮、切片器 切菠萝时搞得一团糟几乎是不可避免的。而这个三合一工具可以完美地让你在短时间内把菠萝切成片。此外，被挖空的菠萝壳很适合拿来盛装菠萝鸡尾酒。 Amazon有售，10美元 大蒜研磨器 即便是技巧最精湛的厨师，做蒜泥的速度也比不过GarlicZoom。放点丁香，然后反复转动研磨器，直到大蒜被捣烂的程度令你满意为止。你还可以借此避免让手指沾上大蒜的可怕气味。仿佛这还不够好一样，GarlicZoom还可以用洗碗机来清洗。 Amazon有售，10美元 罐头过滤器 这个聪明的装置可以让你免去时间和精力来清洗不怎么用的东西。（更不用说干燥架上空间有限了！） Amazon有售，4美元 掌上削皮刀 这个削皮刀不仅很适合手掌的形状，还能让你握得很紧。此外，刀刃很快，强度也很出色，刨土豆的速度会比你想得快得多。 Amazon有售，7美元 旋转刨刀 这款工具的使用和清洁都非常简单（机身和刀筒都可以在洗碗机中清理），更重要的是，还可以刨出漂亮的巧克力刨花，几乎不费什么时间，就能让你的蛋糕堪比顶级大厨的作品。 williams-sonoma.com有售，50美元

Cooking is all well and good until it’s 8 p.m. on a Wednesday night and you’re simultaneously starving and hustling to mince and braise while your stomach growls louder than a freight train. In those moments, any tool that will shave minutes off dinner’s estimated time of arrival is basically some Dumbledore-level magic. Short-on-patience chefs, take note: Magic is real, at least when it comes to kitchenware. These handy gadgets have the power to help you summon a meal more quickly than you could ever imagine. Here, 13 time-saving tools that will save dinner — and your sanity. VEGGICHOP HAND-POWERED FOOD CHOPPER This game-changing chopper handles small batches of chopping with almost zero effort and plenty of aplomb. It can also whip up one-dish batches of pesto, hummus, salsa, and guacamole in just about no time. Simply remove the blade after you’ve chopped, and—bam!—the VeggiChop turns into a sealable storage container. Bonus: It’s also great if you’re very prone to crying like it’s the end of Marley and Me when you’re chopping onions. Chef’n available at Amazon.com | $20 LATTICE PIECRUST CUTTER Let’s be honest: What working woman really has the time to whip up a lattice-topped pie? Williams-Sonoma knows the struggle, which is why the brand created a shortcut.

Williams Sonoma available at williams-sonoma.com | $20 PINEAPPLE CORER, SLICER, AND PEELER It’s nearly impossible not to make a mess when you cut a pineapple.
