Must-Have Kitchen Electrics
Finding the perfect kitchen electrics and appliances can be a challenging task. With so many different settings and wattages, it’s easy to get overwhelmed trying to find a functional appliance to add to your kitchen setup. Let us help you detangle the confusion with hand-selected recommendations and must-have kitchen electrics for every task.
When adding to any kitchen, versatility is a key component to consider in a new appliance. Breville’s Smart Oven Air functions as both an air fryer and a toaster oven—all in one! This convenient countertop cooker gets any job done thanks to its spacious interior and 13 different cooking functions. Looking for something more specialized? The 5-Tray Food Dehydrator from Cuisinart allows you to dehydrate five different food groups and provides optimal storage. Create your own dried fruit for trail mix, dehydrate herbs & spices for later use, or even create homemade beef jerky—yum!
For the smoothie-lover searching to upgrade an old, worn-out blender, Vitamix’s Ascent Series Blender in Red is a sleek and modern replacement, sure to fulfill all of your blending needs. This bold blender innovatively connects to a Bluetooth app, for convenient control right from your phone. For a minimalist-style, classic blender: check out Zwilling’s Enfinigy Power Blender in Black. This blender is a must-have, with a powerful 1400-watt motor, its sturdy construction makes it a reliable appliance for years to come. For a unique option or for those with compact kitchens, the Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender from Cuisinart can blend, whisk, whip, and stir. Worried about cords and cables traditionally found on hand mixers? This blender is anything but old-fashioned and can easily be recharged with a USB cable.
A lot of people need caffeine to start their morning (including us). If you’re someone who loves to brew from home, Breville’s Dual Boiler is sure to bring you cafe-quality americanos, cappuccinos, and even affogatos. . This espresso machine serves the perfect temperature espresso shots, as well as steaming your milk to perfection—the recipe for a top-tier at-home latte. For a classic, pure coffee maker you can’t go wrong with Zwilling’s Enfinigy Drip Coffee Maker in Silver. This high-quality coffee maker features reliable stainless steel construction and a built-in milk frother. Additionally, this coffee maker was awarded the Specialty Coffee Association’s Golden Cup Standard, the highest prize for coffee brewers. Wow!
Food processors are an important appliance if you love to cook or bake. Their versatility allows you to finely chop nuts, mix dough for a pie crust, or combine ingredients for a meat pie filling. Truly, the possibilities are endless. Ensure that you’re equipped to take on any of these tasks with Cuisinart’s Elemental 13 Cup Food Processor in Gunmetal Grey. This food processor is large enough to process a variety of ingredients, with sharp, stainless steel blades that can take on anything. Slightly smaller but equally effective, The Sous Chef food processor from Breville features a twelve cup capacity, and a ten-year warranty for the motor—a reliable tool in the kitchen for years to come, or your money back.
Are your arms sore from heavy mixing? Electric mixers make the baking process so much smoother. You can’t go wrong with Cuisinart’s classic 5.5 Quart Stand Mixer, a reliable must-have, especially for heavy mixing tasks as it features a 500-watt motor. If you don’t have the counter space for a stand mixer, consider a hand-held electric mixer, such as the Cordless Rechargeable Hand Mixer from Cuisinart. This hand mixer is easy to use. Plus, no need to worry about the fuss of a cord as it is conveniently rechargeable while not in use, so you can use it anywhere in your kitchen.
Winter isn’t quite over yet, and a slow cooker is an easy way to make a warm, comfort stew or soup. Check out Cuisinart’s 6.5 Qt Programmable Slow Cooker if you’re in the market for one. This cooker keeps food warm past the cooking time, has a variety of different programmable cook times and settings and conveniently features a dishwasher-safe pot and lid. If you’re looking for something with more advanced settings and presets, the Cuisinart 6-Qt Cook Central Multicooker features an LCD display and 3 fully programmable cooking functions to steam, sauté, slow cook, and keep food warm. Not to mention all removable parts are dishwasher safe—what’s more to ask?
Toasters are a well-loved kitchen appliance, and likely the most used (not sure about you, but every day is a good day for avocado toast!) Over time, cables may fray, quality may deteriorate, and food may get stuck as it’s difficult to fully clean them. If your toaster has become a little less efficient, Zwilling’s Enfinigy 4-Slot Toaster is a high-quality toaster with a sleek, modern look and ample room to toast different types of bread on two different settings. For a less conventional toaster option, Cuisinart’s Convection Toaster Oven Broiler can toast as well as bake, broil, and use convection heat to warm food. Easy to clean with a removable crumb tray and a nonstick interior, this toaster oven is a smart alternative to the classic toaster.
