The world is full of useful kitchen appliances, but this one is essential, not just for your cooking feats, but for making your life easier as well. Instead of wasting hours washing dishes, you can load a dishwasher – but make sure you do it without making any mistakes – and be done with it. It leaves you more time to focus on the meal itself.

Fridge

Every kitchen needs a fridge, but not all fridges are quite the same. Depending on the size of your family, your fridge can range from small to huge, and it’s important to take this issue into consideration when picking a model to buy. A fridge needs to accommodate all your food and drinks, as well as your fruits and veggies, so don’t be afraid to get a bigger one

Microwave Oven

Most people are set against these appliances, thinking they might be harming their health, but the truth is quite the opposite. Microwave ovens are practical and useful, especially if you’re in a rush. They’re particularly great for people who have babies, so get one of these microwave ovens as soon as possible

Blender

Most people don’t understand the difference between a blender and a food process, but every proper kitchen needs both. Able to blend two or more ingredients together in just a couple of seconds, your blender will allow you to enjoy tasty juices, sauces, and smoothies from your favorite fruits, veggies, and herbs, and that’s sometimes the only thing we need to feel good

Oven 

Depending on your cooking techniques and preferences, an oven could turn into the most useful or most underused appliance in your kitchen. Not all home cooks use ovens every day, but if you love roasts and slow-cooked meals, it is a necessity. Just find a model that’s big enough for your entire family and that can fit in your kitchen layout, and you’re good to go.

Toaster

Being so small and practical, toasters are often overlooked by people equipping their kitchens for the very first time. However, if you want to be able to enjoy a tasty breakfast every day of the week, this is an investment you have to make. You can get a designer-friendly toaster or even color-coordinate it with the color of your cabinets, taking your kitchen’s visual appeal to an even higher level.

Coffee Maker

Lots of people can’t imagine waking up without a cup of coffee, and if you’re one of these people too, you should invest in a high-quality coffee maker as soon as you can. Whether you love espresso, macchiato or cappuccino, you’ll be able to enjoy a cup of your favorite coffee in a matter of minutes, and start your day in the best way possible.

Stand Mixer

If you love eating cakes, you’re going to love having a new stand mixer! Whether you’re mixing the batter, whipping the cream, or doing something else, this is one of those must-have kitchen appliances every home cook needs. If you’re about to purchase one right now, make sure you pick a powerful model with lots of different working modes that can work without supervision.

Rice Cooker

Eating rice means you’re eating lots of proteins, but the problem with rice is cooking it. Most home cooks can’t figure out the right way to do it, which is why their rice is often undercooked. But, with a rice cooker, your rice will always be perfect, tasty, and adequately prepared.

Electric Grill

This is a simple yet useful alternative to your traditional oven, and it’s particularly great for people with tiny kitchens. These things are easy to use and clean and can help you grill all sorts of veggies, fish, and meat, making your cooking skills better than ever.
