Five Essential Kitchen Appliances

In truth, there are dozens, if not hundreds of kitchen appliances out there, from the essential to the niche, depending on your budget, but there are a handful of absolute must-haves for any kitchen. Below we take a closer look at five essential kitchen appliances.



Oven

What is a kitchen without an oven? Whether it is electric, gas or even powered by firewood, having an oven in your kitchen is the number one essential for any home. It’s here, of course, where the majority of your food is prepared, and with many oven appliances also fitted with a grill, they even offer the flexibility of a 2-in-1 machine.

Refrigerator

An essential component of any kitchen, the refrigerator is where your fresh food and goods will be stocked. Meat, vegetables and dairy products are all housed in the refrigerator, with low temperatures required for freshness and quality for a period of time.

Dishwasher

An absolute luxury in time-saving kitchen appliances, the dishwasher is the most efficient and effective way of cleaning cutlery, crockery and everything in between. Compared with traditional cleaning methods, a dishwasher is far better equipped to remove nasty germs and bacteria when washing, with many dishwasher cycles reaching in excess of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Better still, advancements in eco-friendly technologies means dishwashers are more efficient and cost-effective than ever, using much less water at a reduced heat, reducing your energy consumption and in extension, your utility bills.

Microwave

A highly popular, and extremely useful addition to the kitchen, is the microwave. Known for its speed and ability to heat frozen dinners in under ten minutes, the microwave offers so much more than just that. Safe, efficient and an ideal method for reheating last night’s dinner, a microwave will reheat food in such a way that moisture and flavour is retained. In fact, it's believe that microwaving spinach, compared with reheating it in the oven, will help to maintain up to 77% of its natural nutrients.

Kettle

Let’s not deny it, we Brits drink a lot of tea. And for most people, that means putting the kettle on. A kettle is a essential appliance for any kitchen, for many reasons, not only will you need to pop the kettle on, heating up water quickly can speed up the cooking process for many pasta or rice dishes, whilst it can also be used as water for cleaning floors and surfaces with bleach or other strong detergents. Owning a kettle saves time, energy and effort, making it an absolutely essential appliance for your kitchen.
