Best Kitchen Appliances for Home Cooks
When you start your day, you need coffee, so before reading, grab this Espresso Maker and also give a glance at our Amazon storefront for all your kitchen supplies.
1. Stand Mixer
There is no appliance like a KitchenAid stand mixer that should be on your counter. It comes with a flat beater, dough hook, and wire whisk and accepts a range of attachments (pasta roller, meat grinder, and ice cream maker) that effectively turn it into multiple appliances in one.
2. Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a versatile countertop appliance that can bake, broil, roast, toast, dehydrate, and air fry with precision temperature control and convection airflow that produces bakery-quality results at home.
You will also need parchment paper when you start baking your cookies and cake. So grab it now!
3. Air Fryer
The air fryer that most people start with and often end with, because it simply works. The Ninja AF101 circulates superheated air around your favorite food to produce crispy, golden results with up to 75% less fat than traditional frying.
4. Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender
A Vitamix E310 Explorian is a premium purchase, and it blends with a power and smoothness that no budget or mid-range blender replicates. Its motor is warranted for five years and typically lasts twenty.
5. NutriBullet Blender
Check out the NutriBullet Blender, which extracts nutrients from fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts into a smooth drink in under a minute. You blend it in a glass, and that becomes the glass you drink from. Get this and make smoothies, protein shakes, or quick sauces.
6. Food Processor
This food processor does the jobs a blender can’t—slicing, shredding, dicing, and chopping in bulk. And it can also make pastry dough, pie crust, and rough chops that need texture rather than smoothness.
7. Manual Slow Cooker
The original and still the most trusted name in slow cooking. Add to cart this Crock-Pot 7-Quart, which has three settings (low, high, and warm), an oval insert and a lid that seals properly. Set it in the morning, walk away, and come home to a finished dinner.
8. Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1
The appliance that started a genuine kitchen revolution. The Instant Pot Duo replaces all seven of your appliances—pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker, and food warmer.
9. Griddle and Indoor Grill
An indoor grill that actually produces the sear marks, caramelization, and smoky flavor of outdoor grilling—without the outdoor requirement. For anyone who wants grilled chicken, steak, fish, or vegetables year-round regardless of weather, this is the appliance that makes it possible. Get the Ninja Indoor Grill!
10. Waffle Maker
Waffles are the breakfast recipe that people make exactly twice without a dedicated waffle maker—with a pan and a prayer. Upgrade to the Breville Smart Waffle Maker, which has five browning settings, a flip mechanism for even cooking, and non-stick plates that produce a properly crisp, fluffy waffle consistently.
11. Rice Cooker
Those who’ve never owned a rice cooker are surprised by it—not because the concept is remarkable, but because the rice it produces is so consistently perfect that you wonder how you ever managed with a saucepan. White rice, brown rice, sushi rice, porridge, mixed rice dishes—all of it is perfectly cooked and kept warm until you’re ready. Visit the Zojirushi store for it!
12. Double-Tiered Food Steamer
A dedicated steamer with two tiers means you can cook vegetables, fish, dumplings, and rice simultaneously in different compartments, all without oil, all at once.
13. Nespresso Vertuo Plus
Coffee isn’t just a drink — it’s an ingredient. Tiramisu, affogato, coffee cake frosting, mocha sauces, and espresso martinis—all of them require good coffee at home quickly. The Nespresso Vertuo Plus produces barista-quality espresso and lungo in under a minute using Centrifusion technology.
Read through the book “The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook,” which consists of 500 vibrant, kitchen-tested recipes.
