HACKS: KITCHEN ESSENTIALS PART 3 OF 3: APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT

Perhaps one important factor to deliver delicious foods is to have the right equipment. It doesn’t matter the brand as long as you feel comfortable with the quality, effectiveness and speed that your range or your refrigerator performs.

Here is a list of what we should have in a typical kitchen that is considered small, medium and large kitchen “appliances”:

Small Appliances:
Toasters, food processors, wine bottle openers, knife sharpener, blenders, coffee makers, rice cookers, slow cookers, instant pots and the such. (Other appliances were listed under my post “Baking Essentials”.
 
Medium Appliances:
MICROWAVE OVENS: Multifunctional that comes with microwave and convection; Lighting Fast to cook or reheat foods eight times faster; and finally, the drawer microwave, easy to pull out just like a drawer.

Large Appliances:
REFRIGERATORS: Side-by-Side, Top Freezer, Bottom Freezer, French Door, and multiple units with few drawers at the bottom. Also a wine refrigerator

RANGES:
Gas or electric range, comes in all colors and you can select the number of ovens, one or two, or the number of burners; 2, 4 or 6, or the type of heat of your choice such as electric or gas (I prefer gas) and also, you can pick a warming drawer if you do. (I have a warming shelve and almost never use it.) Finally, you can pick a nice and effective range hood. Also, not an appliance but quite important to have is an amazing set of pots and pans, preferably all stainless steel. They last a lifetime, smile.

DISHWASHERS
You don’t need one, your new dishwasher is your husband, wife or significant other; smile. I am just kidding! The dishwasher is your life saver. After the meal is cooked and eaten, someone must do the dishes, (and it ain’t gona be me) and who better than your free hard worker at home, your dish washer specialist.
