There are kitchen gadgets and contraptions for just about every purpose.
If you’re not careful, you can find you have an entire cupboard full of kitchen appliances you never use.
On the other hand, there are time-saving devices that are a game changer. Who doesn’t like saving time in the kitchen?! Anyone will love this as a gift!
Here’s the top five picks of appliances that you really should consider investing in if you haven’t already.
If you still feel guilty about buying something for the kitchen, think of it as a gift to yourself. You’ve worked so hard all year and you deserve a reward! Treat yo self!
1. Air fryer
An air fryer uses circular convection technology and cooks food super-quickly and evenly. Most foods you cook in this nifty device require NO oil, while others only need a tablespoon. I’ve had an air fryer for a few years now and have never looked back.
(Eurochef 2.2L Air Fryer from Mytopia: $119)
2. Egg separator
There’s nothing worse than trying to separate eggs and then ending up with bits of eggshell in the whites that you have to try and fish out. That’s a thing of the past with an egg separating device.
(Yolkfish Egg Yolk Separator from Yellow Octopus: $18.99)
3. Stick blender
If you’re still blending away with the old annoying, hard-to-clean blender, get with the times and get yourself a stick blender. There’s so much it can do and it’s so much easier to clean. Your new favourite game will be “will this blend?”
(Cuisinart Stick Blender from Kitchenstyle.com.au: $89.95)
4. Soup Maker
Easy to make homemade soup in under half an hour. What’s not to covet?
Just add delicious ingredients and choose from three settings smooth, chunky or blend. In 15-25 minutes, you will have a steamy and flavourful batch of soup ready as easily as if you opened it from the can.
(1.3L Soup Maker From Avancer: $59.00)
5. Power Slicer
With one of these bad boys, you’ll be able to slice, dice, chop and shred a variety of fruit or vegetables like a pro.
