1. Food Processor:-
One place solution for many requirements. You probably don’t need any chopper, blender, mixer. This will do all. Food processors are multifunctional. You don’t need to buy 6 – 7 different gadgets for different functions. One food processor is enough. My Favorite is from Philips.
2. Hand Blender:
This is also an essential gadget. It helps in quick blending. You don’t need to cool the hot stuff for juicing. No need to transfer to other vessels. Just blend conveniently while cooking. Extremely beneficial for making soups and juices.
3. Grill Sandwich Maker
Sandwich makers are normally required for making nice crispy sandwiches. Normally it doesn’t get that crispy when we make it on pan on the stovetop. But in equal time you will get nice crispy sandwiches. These are helpful for making quick lunchbox sandwiches or for snack time.
4. Mixer Grinder
When hand blender is for all wet grinding, mixer grinder does multi-function of grinding wet, dry, and whipping. This is also helpful in making batters for idli, dosa, etc. Mixer grinder normally comes with different blades/ jars for different grinding. e.g. for wet grinding, dry grinding, small chutney jar.
5. Hand Mixer
A high-speed mixer makes your life easier. It’s a quintessential gadget for your kitchen. Let’s talk about whipping cream, cheese, making the batter, mixing ingredients, this high-speed whisking tool saves our hands and time also. It takes only 2 – 3 minutes to make life easier with beautiful and delicious food. Must have item for baking as well.
6. Instant Pot
The instant pot is an electric pressure cooker. This is a must-have in the new era of cooking. This is a multi-function electric pressure cooker that takes lesser time as compared to traditional cookware. You can pressure cook, slow cook, saute, steam food and many more such applications. I’m preparing a separate note on Instant Pot. But in the meantime let me tell you all instant pot available on Amazon or any platform are not suitable for Indian voltage. So, while buying, be very sure to check whether this will be fit for Indian voltage or not.
I would recommend these for Indian Kitchen
7. Convection Oven
Convection oven brings exposure to varieties of cooking in fact. This is better than solo ovens or microwaves as it’s a combination of all functions. And the best part is you can cook your everyday curry, rice, puddings and what not. I use it most for my every day cooking as it’s very quick. You can bake, roast, grill. It’s an all in one oven.
You may check many solo microwave oven or OTG in the market. Also, they are cheaper than the convection oven because of lesser functionality.
8. Coffee Maker

It makes the best espresso or a filtered coffee and makes life easier by simplifying the task of making coffee. Below linked are some recommendations for the best quality coffee makers. Also, these are not too expensive countertop kitchen appliances. At the same time, you have the luxury of less time spending during rush hours.
