You can also look up restaurants and markets in your area that feature ocean-friendly seafood, and you can add places you've found that offer it. With Seafood Watch, you can look up a particular type of fish to see if it is a Best Choice, Good Alternative, or something to Avoid. This app helps you find seafood that is fished or farmed using sustainable methods. Nose to Tail is also available for Android. You get the cow for free, while an in-app purchase unlocks pig, chicken and lamb. Meat-eaters, take note: the Nose to Tail app maps out where on the animal various cuts of meat come from, describes their characteristics, and how best to prepare them. Perfect Produce is also available for Android. For example, Perfect Produce taught me that an avocado can last up to five days in the fridge and carrots should not be stored next to apples or pears. It also lists nutritional information and recipes for a wide variety of produce, but what I use the app for is its storing and preparing tips. This app won't tell you which are the dirtiest things in the produce aisle, but it will tell you what to look for and what to avoid when picking your produce. Dirty Dozen is also available for Android. (Spoiler: strawberries top the list.) The app also features the Clean 15, which includes fruits and veggies for which you don't necessarily need to buy organic. So, I selectively buy organic, and the Dirty Dozen app shows me the 12 fruits and veggies that contain the highest levels of pesticides. I try to buy organic but I'm also trying to save money to send my kids to college. So the focus here is instead on other apps I use in my kitchen (or at the grocery store).įrom kitchen timers to shopping aids to recipe organizers, these are the best kitchen tools that will help you become a better and more organized chef.
