The more efficient we can be in the kitchen, the more time we have with family and friends. So whether you are getting ready to have extra people over or looking for a gift, here are some of my favorite kitchen appliances, many I use in my kitchen daily, to make meals healthier and easier.
- There is no other appliance I use more than my Instant Pot. It is especially good for people like me who forget to take meat out of the freezer. 😄 These make great gifts for weddings or someone moving into their first place, not to mention just making last-minute cooking an option and decreasing eating out. https://amzn.to/4aVxWVZ
- Our Ninja blender gets used ALL the time. It is great for blending smoothies, soups, sauces, and more. This is the one I have, but there are SO many variations to choose from so you can find the perfect one for you. https://amzn.to/3VCKCfS
- When we sometimes need to just blend a small amount or make a singular smoothie, we use this smaller blender. We prefer the Nutribullet. It comes in multiple sizes and is budget-friendly. It is also perfect for more cleaning convenience. https://amzn.to/3wZUNC4
- I was genuinely shocked when we got our air fryer and I realized how much we use it. A game-changer for us was buying one that is a combo that also works as a rotisserie. This meant less space on the counter and we could even make a rotisserie chicken! We love this model. https://amzn.to/3XkSnIK
- Do you prefer the basket style of air fryer? Multiple fryers in that style are getting high ratings too. https://amzn.to/3VhyuzM
- Coffee is not something optional in our home. We discovered many years ago we love the option of fresh ground coffee. We literally use ours every day and it is really nice to have the grinder and brewing all in one device. We have the older version of this model: https://amzn.to/47qb7Z8
- In an effort to decrease the amount of coffee I drink, especially when the weather is colder, I have started drinking more herbal tea. I was using a stovetop tea kettle, but during the Amazon sale last year, I grabbed this amazing electric one. I love that it heats quickly, holds enough for 2-3 cups (I like big mugs), it is easy to clean, and it is inexpensive too. https://amzn.to/4egOfzs
- While we still use a regular coffee maker because we both work from home and drink a lot of coffee, but our daughter and son-in-law prefer a Keurig. This single-serve model works perfectly for them since there are just two of them, they have limited space, and they usually just make a cup on their way out the door. https://amzn.to/3ySnPUK
- When I am able to spend more time cooking, I have a few larger appliances to help me along the way. My KitchenAid food processor, similar to this one, works great for quickly shredding, chopping, slicing, and more. PLUS, with the extra bowls and a variety of blades, I have the option of smaller batches, when needed. https://amzn.to/3KXWbIN
- My other “big” small appliance, is my KitchenAid mixer. These beauties are great for SO many things, but especially baking. My husband uses it all the time for various breads and cakes. PLUS, it is available in many different colors (mine is red). It is a more expensive item, so here are the latest deals on different models. https://amzn.to/4b2J17I
There are so many other options that make great gifts and additions to your kitchen too. If you want me to keep a lookout for a deal for you, just reach out.
