The right kitchen appliances for the job

Choosing the right appliances for your kitchen can be a difficult task. Given the scale and scope of kitchen applications, and the comparatively small volume of consumer guidance, which is often marketing disguised as advice, making an informed decision is sometimes easier said than done.

While I have never worked for anyone who retails kitchen appliances, I have done a lot of consulting work with companies that do just that, and as such, I can impart information on the pros and cons of various products, without any sentiment. sentimental or emotional attachment to anyone – I am not the one who earns the commission!

The biggest purchases of kitchen appliances tend to be kitchens, since the main function of the kitchen is to cook and prepare food! The most common mistake people make is buying an oven that is too big for their needs. A good rule of thumb is to get a four burner stove if you have up to 4 people in the household, if you regularly cook for more than four then you might consider a larger one. In single-person households, you can sometimes do without an oven: modern multifunction microwaves can grill, roast, and steam food, which covers you for all kinds of meals.

Cookware is another area where people often buy things that don’t fit their needs. Aluminum pots and pans are very attractive, but their durability is poor and they won’t last long if used multiple times a day. Different types of plates work best with containers made of different materials, and you should keep this in mind before purchasing any. Electric mixers and mixers aren’t really necessary for mixing sauce or smoothies, regardless of what the TV commercials suggest.
