With the arrival of summer, our needs change. Keeping us cool becomes a priority and there are many small appliances that contribute to this. Some are in charge of cooling our home, others help us prepare great meals and frozen desserts perfect to enjoy with friends.
It is precisely in the last ones, in those that facilitate our work in the kitchen, in which we put our attention today. In those small appliances that can make our meals better or more refreshing at this time of year and that we all at some point have wanted to have in our kitchen. Or am I the only one?
Refrigerator
For make homemade ice cream no need to have a refrigerator we have shown more than once in BezziaHowever, having them allows us to prepare this dessert in the best and most comfortable way. And the ice cream maker will allow you to choose your own ingredients, adapting them to your tastes, and making them effortlessly.
The refrigerator is an appliance with a refrigeration system in which you pour the ice cream ingredients to obtain a smooth and creamy ice cream. And it is precisely this creaminess that makes the difference compared to homemade ice cream prepared without this appliance.
Do you want to buy one? You will find two types of designs in the markup: refrigerators with integrated compressor and refrigerators without a compressor that will require you to prefreeze the bucket or bowl in advance. The first will provide you with creamier ice creams but will require an investment of more than €170. The result with the second one will not be as good but it will be correct and you will save money (you will find them from €30). Choose the one that suits you best!
Griddle for outdoor cooking
The high temperatures invite us in summer to take advantage of outdoor spaces and enjoy grilled meat, fish and vegetables on our balcony, terrace or garden. And for this it is not necessary to have a barbecue; a stone plate for cooking it also becomes a great ally.
In this type of plates you can cook all kinds of ingredients simply and cleanly. You will find numerous models on the market; some with such interesting features as a box to collect the fat that is released from the food. In addition, you can put many of them in the dishwasher, saving you cleaning!
And the best thing about these small appliances is their price. You can buy an iron small size from €30, but it will not cost you much more for a large capacity with a professional appearance. Get one and bring hot food to the table.
Mincer
Is it worth buying a mincer for prepare granitas and other drinks with ice in summer? Many will tell you that they prefer to bet on a kitchen robot that, in addition to this functionality, provides many others, but like everything else, it will depend on the use that you are going to give it and the investment that you are willing to assume.
Una ice crusher It is not an expensive appliance, but if you are not going to use it for more than a month, you may prefer to allocate the space it would occupy in your kitchen to another appliance. There are many ways to make ice at home (it seems that we are not discovering it now in the heat of the heat wave) and also rudimentary ways of crushing it if one day we want to prepare a special drink.
Do you use it a lot during the summer? If you are cooks maybe it is time to invest in a food processor. With them you can cut, chop, grind, fry, grind, liquefy, beat, stew, weigh, cook at low temperature... They will make it easier for you to prepare food both on a daily basis and on big occasions. Obviously not all robots have all the features, but you can find good robots with a chopper function from €200.
Do you like the idea of having these small appliances at home? They are a great ally, especially in summer when we like to celebrate outdoors and enjoy grilled food and cold drinks. We are tempted but we will have to choose because we do not have room for everyone in the kitchen.
