Let gadgets do the work in your kitchen

(NC)—Today, more women are working two jobs: outside the home and at home. Time (or lack thereof) is a common complaint among all working women. Luckily, companies are easing the pain of household chores—especially in the kitchen.

Faucets with Functionality
From washing pots and baby bottles – to watering plants, your kitchen faucet is a workhorse and a focal point. So, don't settle for a plain-jane design, choose a faucet that provides both function and fashion.

Pullout models, such as Ascent from ShowHouse by Moen feature high-arc designs, beautiful styling and Moen's unique, multi-function spray options – spray, stream or Moen's patented pause mode.

Let Robots Do the Chores
Today's house-cleaning robots get the job done when it comes to cleaning kitchen floors. New robotic floor-washing vacuums, such as the Scooba from iRobot, use sensors to navigate around a kitchen, vacuuming, washing and drying floors. That means more time to spend with friends and family rather than cleaning up after them.

Find a New Kind of Fast Food
After a long day, preparing a home-cooked meal seems like a daunting task. However, there's a new twist to get home-cooked meals fast. Referred to as "take and bake" or "fix and freeze," these new businesses allow women to spend one evening preparing several weeks worth of great-tasting meals. Women on-the-go can simply assemble the recipe and package for freezing. That means a quick, healthy meal–without the mess.

Enjoy a Quick Cup of Joe
Often a caffeine boost in the morning is just what the doctor ordered. New one-cup coffee brewing systems provide a quick cup before running out the door. The small size creates less clutter on countertops and single-serving pots brew a fresh cup in less than a minute. Plus, there is no measuring, no filters, no grounds to clean up and no waste.

By adding a few conveniences to the kitchen, working women will soon be able to spend less time "working" on their household jobs and more time enjoying being at home.
