How to Equip your New Kitchen with Essential Gadgets
We love to decorate our kitchen as per the latest trends and gadgets. Modular kitchens are in vogue and each item in the kitchen must have a suitable place. Apart from the kitchen looking good, a certain amount of gadgetry is also desired so that the chore of cooking is not cumbersome.
There is no dearth of kitchen gadgets available in specialized stores.
However, the type and number of gadgets required will depend solely upon individual requirements. Apart from a freezer and refrigerator, a few basic (and really handy gadgets) must be present in every modern kitchen. These gadgets save the cook’s time and energy and get the job done as well.
Microwave
A full-fledged microwave oven is a complete must as it not only facilitates quick reheating of food but can be used for baking and grilling as well. A microwave with a convection system and grill is a three-in-one gadget as then a separate oven and grill need not be required (unless, of course, you need a traditional oven for your special recipes).
Mixer-Grinder
A compact 2-3 jar mixer is completely indispensable. The blender is suitable for vegetables, broths and milkshakes; the wet grinder makes it easy to make pastes; and the dry grinder finely grinds spices and other dry ingredients.
Juicer
Juicers are usually available in two forms – citrus juicer for fruits like oranges and lime, and a regular juicer. The former presses out the juice from citrus fruit without any bitterness of the rind. The regular juicer is most suitable for all other fruits and vegetables. Depending upon the type of fresh juice extracted in your kitchen, you could opt for either or both the juicers.
Dough Maker
Though the best dough is made by hand, a dough maker is extremely helpful as it saves on time and energy. The dough maker has several options for different types of dough, e.g., pastry dough, cake dough, etc.
Tin Opener
Most ingredients for a meal are often from a tin, thereby, requiring a tin opener that is easy to operate. Several types are available, ranging from wall-mounted openers to hand-held ones.
Garlic Press & Vegetable Grater
Peeling and mincing garlic makes hands smelly. Hence, using a garlic press is beneficial. A vegetable grater is also handy as it can be used to grate vegetables, garlic, ginger andn cheese.
Wine Bottle Opener
What is a meal without wine? Hence, a high quality wine bottle opener is a must in all kitchens.
