Appliances that are needed in any kitchen
Only these five things are really needed. The rest is an amateur’s excess.
Refrigerator with large freezer
A refrigerator is like a kettle. You can’t do without it, but we advise you to take a refrigerator with a large freezer. Why? It’s that simple! In it, you can freeze greens, vegetables, fruits and berries (and not roll them into jars, subjecting them to heat treatment and flavored with vinegar, salt and sugar). It turns out both useful and natural. You can also freeze cubed broth, meat and poultry purchased for future use. Even cakes can be stored – and indeed, some foods can be kept in the freezer for months.
Let’s be honest, this is the most needed and, perhaps, the most frequently used device. In it you can boil tea, and boil dumplings (hello to all the bachelors of the world!), And water to wash, warm. Of course, no one has canceled the boiler either, but we do not advise you to give up the kettle. Really useful!
One of the most controversial items in the modern kitchen. Someone raises its qualities to heaven, someone considers it a completely useless and unnecessary subject, they say, it only takes place. We think this way: if you are a fan of cooking and think that pilaf should be cooked in a cauldron and “puff” on the stove for at least four hours, and pies should be cooked exclusively in the oven, then … a multicooker is not for you. But if you dream of a universal device that stews, bakes, cooks, and fries, and at the same time does not burn anything in it, then feel free to buy. After all, a multicooker will also prepare breakfast for you upon a call, if it has a programmable timer. By the way, we have a whole collection of recipes for a multicooker – follow the link.
This is a type of multicooker, but vice versa. However, if the first is for the “lazy”, then the second is for convinced cooks. A real blender can chop, mix, cut and whisk. At the same time, it takes up much less space than a food processor, and it costs much less (what can we hide).
Stove, oven and microwave
Just don’t say that we crossed the “limit” and named you not five, but as many as seven items of household appliances. In fact, a modern microwave oven allows you to cook without using a stove and is a great replacement for the oven. And vice versa. There are ovens with microwave functions, and you can reheat food on the stove. So feel free to choose one thing, but use it to the maximum. And don’t thank!
By the way
Each technique has its own lifespan. Of course, it differs from the one indicated in the warranty card, otherwise the refrigerators would have to be replaced every three years. Manufacturers usually set their own service life in the documents for the equipment, depending on the brand it can vary. However, there are also average terms that the equipment should serve without problems and interruptions.
Kettle – up to 3 years.
Blender – from 3 to 7 years, depending on the motor.
multivarka – 2-3 years, induction multicooker – 5-7 years.
Microwave oven – 7 years.
Washing machine – 7 – 10 years old.
Refrigerator and freezer – 7 – 10 years old.
Gas and induction cookers – 10 years, electric stoves and ovens – from 7 to 10 years.
Now remember how long the Soviet Zil refrigerator worked for your mother. It seems that modern technology has begun to live less.
