The kitchen is one of the most important parts of a home, but we put very little interest in equipping it. While we spend thousands of Naira buying the latest gadgets and appliances for our living rooms like large screen TVs and home theatre system, our kitchens remain the way our fathers and our grandfathers’ kitchens were with manual appliances. In this article we will suggest a few kitchen appliances that will modernise your kitchen today.
Bread Toasters
Sandwich Maker/Toasters
Microwave Oven
Microwave ovens use the heating effect of microwaves to cook or heat food. Microwave ovens are great for warming and defrosting food. They are also very fast in cooking, making them an asset in the kitchen. A microwave with turn-table feature will rotate the food while cooking leading to more even heating.Gas & Electric Cookers
Gas Cookers are probably the fastest way of doing serious cooking. Electric Cookers are the cheapest appliance for cooking at home, but because of the epileptic power supply in Nigeria, they cannot be your only cooker in your kitchen. While you can get cookers that offer only gas cooking or electric cooking, I will suggest you get one with both Gas and Electric Cookers, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
The ideal is a Cooker with four gas burners with gas oven and grill and two electric plates (one large and one small). However, depending on your budget and the size of your family, you can buy one with fewer gas burners and one/two electric plate.
Blenders/Mixers & Grinders
Some blending sets come with an additional blender jar with blades designed for dry food ingredients like crayfish, egusi, ogbono, etc. This blender jar is called the grinder. When buying a blender for your home kitchen, buying a set with a grinder is advisable.
Dishwashers
After eating those delicious meals someone is usually left to cleanup. A dishwasher will make life a lot easy for that person. Dishwashers use a stream of mildly hot water and detergent to wash your dishes and utensils, saving you from the hard work.Dishwashers have capacity for the quantity of dishes they can wash. They also come with different programs for different washing scenarios. You can also control the temperature of the water stream depending on your needs.
