Today, I wanted to share more about how small kitchen appliances can really make your life so much easier but also so much more enjoyable. I always believe that food and the kitchen should be a place of safety and bring joy so I’ve listed below the top small appliances that will transform your kitchen into a culinary haven:
- Stellar Coffee Maker: Adulting means coffee, and your kitchen deserves a coffee maker that’s up to the task. Choose one that can whip up everything from lattes to a classic cup of Joe to an espresso martini! I personally LOVE my espresso machine (linked mine here) because it brews an awesome latte and really makes me enjoy my morning. I know it is $$ but I’ve had mine for close to 4 years and it still runs beautifully and I expect to continue to have it for a long time…plus it ends up being more cost effective than getting a $5+ latte per day.
- Smart Air Fryer: Say goodbye to soggy and hello to crispy. I love an air fryer because it doesn’t need all of the oil a traditional fry would require and it really makes things taste so amazing!
- Reliable Blender: In my opinion this is the unsung hero of the kitchen. It takes your smoothies to the next level and makes whipping up sauces a breeze. Spend the money to invest in a sturdy one that can handle everything from crushing ice to blending fruits or nuts. Again, these are pricey but really a great tool to invest in. I’ve linked my Vitamix (that I adore) here.
- Instant Pot: Who’s got time to spend hours making dinner? The Instant Pot is the kitchen savior that delivers delicious meals at warp speed. From soups to roasts, it’s a game-changer for those days when you want gourmet without the effort. I use mine at least once per week and it really makes my life so easy (especially because you can use frozen meats without having to thaw)! I have a Ninja Foodi that is an ‘all in one’ type instant pot but I have several friends with the Instant Pot brand and they love those also. I’ve linked mine here and an alternative here.
- Food Processor: Tired of chopping? A food processor is an incredible time saver and so helpful for chopping veggies, making hummus, etc. The uses are really endless. I considered buying the Vitamix attachment for my blender but it was just too large for my tiny kitchen so I went for this option instead from Kitchen Aid.
So, there you have it – the essential small appliances that’ll level up your kitchen. Cooking is an art, and with the right tools, you’ll be creating masterpieces in no time. Happy cooking!
