Top 10 Must-Have Small Appliances
for Your Kitchen
Created By:Mary Sanders
1. Coffee Maker
• Coffee makers are an indispensable small
appliance. Unlike many other small
appliances, coffee makers are found outside
the kitchen. You can see these appliances in
offices and hotel rooms because almost
everyone loves a hot cup of coffee at the
start of the day.
• Toasters and toaster ovens are a basic
requirement in many kitchens. Toasters
quickly and efficiently crisp breads and
bagels, while toaster ovens are great for
melting cheese and warming up foods.
3. Blender
• Blenders are an important appliance for those
who need to mix sauces, juices or soups. Not to
be confused with food processors, a blender’s
main benefit is its ability to “blend” two or
more ingredients together. Its motor is generally
less powerful than that of a food processor, and
its blades are less sharp, so a blender is better
used with liquids and ices.
4. Food Processor
• If you need to chop a lot of vegetables in a
short amount of time, a food processor is
your best friend. Many units come with a
variety of blade attachments so that you can
pick and choose which blade will work best
for your processing needs.
5. Mixer
• Any baker knows how laborious it is to stir
bread dough or cake batter. Mixers make it
easy to combine wet and dry ingredients,
like flour and eggs. Some mixers come with
dough-hook attachments for kneading.
6. Electric Grill
• Whether it’s a clamshell grill, a panini grill or
an electric griddle, electric grills of all types
are welcome in the kitchen these days.
Electric grills are small, smoke-free and easy
to clean. Food cooked on an electric grill
tastes great and can be a lot healthier than
pan-fried food.
7. Slow Cooker
• Also known as crock pots, slow cookers are
especially helpful for busy chefs because you
can prepare a meal before leaving the house
for the day and have it done by the time you
get home. Crock pots allow food to simmer
all day or night to provide your family with a
delicious, home-cooked meal.
8. Microwave
• No small appliance is more beloved than
the microwave oven. In fact, for many, a
microwave is the entire kitchen experience.
Microwaves heat food in less than half the
time of a conventional oven. Microwaves
are easy to operate and extremely durable.
9. Fryer
• French fries, hush puppies and chicken fingers
are all made to perfection by a deep fryer.
Although not as healthy as a grill, home-grade
deep fryers are very popular appliances
because they bring the restaurant taste to your
dinner table.
10. Rice Cooker
• Take the guesswork out of making rice on
your stove-top and get consistent results.
Rice cookers help you make perfect rice
every time with the push of a single button.
