Let’s delve in…

Tech

Mashable is looking for the Best Tech Gadgets for Junk Journalers and Crafters

Query:

Hello,

I am working on a piece for Mashable about the best tech gadgets for Junk Journalers and Craters. This could be anything from a higher powerdered, cordless hot glue gun to a projector that outlines sewing patterns. It also could be things like quality supplies or printers. I am looking to get in touch with any brands that would like to be considered.

Home/Lifestyle

WaveComber is seeking cooking experts to share kitchen tools under $30 for easier healthy cooking

Query:

I’m a freelance content writer who contributes stories to CBS News, ConsumerAffairs, CNN Underscored, and more. I’ve also started an independent publication on Substack, Wavecomber, for in-depth insights about YMYL topics, including finance, health, shopping/commerce, and more (wavecomber.com, wavecomber.substack.com).

For this Wavecomber article, I need US-based industry experts (e.g., chefs, culinary instructors, recipe developers, registered dietitians/nutritionists, food bloggers, meal prep coaches) to share unique insights.

To be considered, please answer the following questions (all or the ones you can answer — but if short on time, PLEASE prioritize more detailed answers to a few over surface-level answers to all of them):

  1. What are your top 3 must-have kitchen tools under $30 that make healthy cooking easier?

  2. For each tool, what specific tasks or problems does it solve in healthy cooking?

  3. Are there specific brands, models, or features you recommend people look for when buying these tools?

  4. What’s one inexpensive tool that most home cooks overlook but shouldn’t?

  5. What’s the biggest mistake you see people make when trying to cook healthier at home — and can any affordable tools help solve it? If so, what are they?⁣​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​⁣

Finally, please provide:

  1. your role/title, a link to your LinkedIn profile, company website, and company descriptor

  2. a good email to follow up if needed (MUST be the source’s email)

IMPORTANT: We can’t accept/use AI-written responses, or responses you’ve already submitted elsewhere. Also, I’m not looking for surface-level information easily found online. These questions are meant more as a guide to get more nuanced, in-depth expertise from you :) Please share relevant common hypothetical scenarios or client experiences to back up answers.
