It also allows you to make delicious use of super cheap cuts of meat, which are often too lean to cook on the grill or in a sauté pan.

A slow cooker lets you maximize your budget and minimize calories due to the low and slow cooking method. It also makes batch cooking very easy. Throw meat, veggie, grains and/or legumes, seasonings of your choice and a creative liquid concoction such as water, apple cider, beer, wine, tomato juice, broth), and by dinner time you’ll have a tender and hearty one pot meal. And the best part is that you have to clean just one dish.

Food processor

Bread maker

Your bread machine can help you bake bread saving you a lot of hassle. With a bread machine, the cost of making bread comes to around 40p for a 10-slice loaf. You can pop in the ingredients and push the button, and in a jiffy, bread is ready.

This is a tool that is indispensable for thinly slicing, crinkle-cutting, or waffle-cutting veggies such as potatoes, and carrots (it’s also handy for producing matchsticks and julienne cuts). French company De Buyer’s version features a smart design to protect fingers, and stainless-steel blades that are easily removable for cleaning. It also has non-skid feet.

Rice cooker

This aesthetically pretty and handy rice cooker isn’t just for rice.

Zojirushi’s stainless-steel rice cooker can produce moist, fluffy rice with minimal effort. Not just rice, you can use it to prepare everything from steel-cut oats to risotto.

Omega Juicers J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer

This is a “masticating style” juicer. It processes at 80 rpm (whereas most other juicers achieve 1,650 to 15,000 rpm). Slowing down lets the machine squeeze the fruit instead of grind it, which helps to preserve nutrients and healthy enzymes. The slower speed also helps prevent oxidization, which means your juice can be stored up to 72 hours without losing freshness or quality — so you can take your time drinking it.

Box grater

This simple gadget is a must-have in every kitchen for shredding and grating cheese, zucchini, sweet potatoes, apples, and carrots. The large holes can even be used for butter and the smaller holes are perfect for creating small bits of chocolate for a mouth-watering garnish.

Pressure cooker

The pressure cooker is such a common place kitchen gadget that it need not really be included here. However, it is another must-have took for the modern kitchen. The appeal of a pressure cooker is undeniable. It is slow cooking done faster. What is done with pressure cookers is that we are saving time by cooking foods at temperatures above boiling point usually from 212° to 250°. The best part of it is that the heat stays in the pot – not in your kitchen. About half an hour is what most meals with a pressure cooker will take.

Toaster

The toaster is another common kitchen gadget that is so common that for many modern families life without one is not imaginable. Ideally it should have a double slot and centering device that ensures even toasting. A removable crump tray lets it be easy-to-clean. It should also have a wide slot to accommodate different types of bread.

An electric kettle boils water in no time. One has to make sure of its speed of boiling, size and weight. Also, ideally, it should be able to make at least four cups of tea or coffee.
