If you’re someone who needs to cook every day for yourself or your family members, and it sometimes becomes a very messy, greasy job to do, and thus people might hate or feel stressed when they’re about to cook.
I love doing the cooking, and I also think it shouldn’t become a messy job that affects your interests and feelings while making meals. Therefore, it’s quite important to find the essential appliances and use them properly to have a pleasant cooking moment. You should then find some tools and appliances to make your cooking easier and more efficient.
There are plenty of kitchen appliances that you can put in your kitchen, but I’d like to focus more on the small appliances that truly help you do the cooking, not the white goods like refrigerators or dishwashers which are not the main tools helping you accelerate the process of cooking or the main factor to make the food taste better.
In my opinion, I think the following 6 kitchen appliances are the must-have ones in your kitchen.
- Gas/Electric Cooker
The gas cooker is inevitable when you want to make the raw food into cooked. If it’s possible, you can choose the one with an easy-to-clean surface, like glass or stainless steel made appearance. Perhaps, the electric cooker plates can be an alternative due to safety reasons.

- Microwave Oven
If you want to defrost the food in a short time by reheating it, the microwave oven will play a significant role here. Traditionally, we put the frozen materials in the room-temperature environment and await for a half or the whole day until it’s got soft. It’s not an efficient way to do it.
Other than that, microwave ovens can heat up a lot of food and beverage, of course, with the proper containers, such as milk and leftover. And it only needs a few minutes to do it. With the microwave ovens’ help, you can save a lot of time preparing a quick meal.

- Oven Toasters
Do you have anything to grill on special days? Want some grilled turkey whenever you might want it? Then, you can not miss having an oven toaster in your kitchen. It can grill the delicious chicken and also help with toasting the bread, which you need to start the day as breakfast.
- Blender or Food Processor
I think the blender is one of the basic devices that people will put in their kitchen because it’s very helpful to have a cup of juice or grind some ingredients. Some might even purchase a high-watt motor model to make smoothies. And some people might find a food processor to make a wider variety of foods. Either way can genuinely help you do the cooking.
- Pressure Cooker
If you have a pressure cooker to help you cook, simmer, or stew, then you can expend the diversity of your recipes. And it does condense the time of making something that needs a long period of time to complete, and it can also save your money on the cost of gas or electricity.
- Rice Cooker
With a single button, you can have a bowl of smell-nice rice to eat. In Nigerian cuisine recipes, having well-cooked rice is a major factor in making a delicious plate, like Jollof rice. But the point still is it’s easy to operate and time-saving.
Except for what mentioned above, I think some appliances are NICE to HAVE. Which meaning you still can have a nice and easy food without these appliances, but it could be more fun and helpful if you cook with these.
- Sandwich maker
If you want a quick-made heated toast, the sandwich should be the one for you. You might get lazy to turn on the toaster oven to make the simple breakfast some time. Once you have a sandwich maker, you can efficiently heat the sandwich, and it will be grilled with a cute shape on the bread.
- AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator)
We all know the power supply has been unstable, which could damage our electronics and kitchen appliances. Especially, the kitchen appliances, whether big or small, are quite expensive and we don’t want to spend more money on it for repairing it or buying a new one. And thus, if it’s possible, I would suggest you spend a small amount of money on AVRs and connect the kitchen appliances with the AVRs so your devices will be well protected from the electricity damage.
- Dish Drainer
Does a dish drainer have anything to do with cooking? The answer is no! It has no features to help you cook, but it can make the kitchen clean and neat! The clean dishes have a place to be put in and that will make your cooking environment more pleasant and comfortable.

These kitchen appliances are the ones I think you must put in your kitchen so you will have a delightful and enjoyable moment in the kitchen while cooking.
