Upgrade in the kitchen: 10 outdated appliances, and how to replace them

Ruddy and toasted pieces of bread that jump out of the appliance are, of course, great, but there are appliances that combine this function and several others.

Than to replace: electric grill. He will prepare not only toasts, but also juicy steaks, waffles, sausages, and what delicious vegetables are produced on it … Therefore, we believe that the grill is a much more versatile device than a toaster.

Once, with her help, we cooked minced meat, so that later the whole family would sculpt dumplings and manti. Later, the manual meat grinder was replaced by an electric one, but the essence of the device remained the same – it is used to grind meat.

Than to replace: Among home appliances, another device, a blender, has long appeared and has become a favorite in the kitchen. It grinds almost any food in a few seconds. He is in the teeth, that is, in the blades, both vegetables and dense pieces of meat, tough nuts. In addition, housewives often use a blender for mixing, for example, if you need to make mashed potatoes, batter, smoothies, cocktails. The disadvantage of the device is that it is quite noisy in operation, but it quickly copes with its work.

Something, but a large perforated saucepan, in our opinion, just wasted space in the kitchen. Indeed, in it, in fact, you can cook a single dish. Except that especially advanced culinary specialists can master the art of cooking pyan-se, but this is also a questionable benefit.

Than to replace: a steamer or multicooker, in which you can cook much more dishes than in the “mantyshnitsa”. This device is the most important assistant in the preparation of dietary and simply healthy dishes, which practically does not require attention. It is enough to throw semi-finished products and vegetables into trays and in 30 minutes the correct lunch-dinner is ready. By the way, omelets and various casseroles are also made tasty and healthy in a double boiler.

The name of the device speaks for itself, but with the advent of bakeries at every step, many hostesses admit that they have removed it to the farthest cabinet. Of course, sometimes, when you really want to pamper yourself and your loved ones with real homemade bread, this assistant is back in the ranks, but again – not for long. Nowadays, few people can afford to knead the dough first, and then bake bread for hours, especially since there is a technique whose baking function is one of 20 available.

Than to replace: the bread maker was replaced by a multicooker, which, like a chef, will prepare the first, second, equally delicious bread, pastries and even yogurt and ice cream.

It also seems to have sunk into oblivion. Those who love and really cook a lot and often, the mixer still serves them well.

Than to replace: with the same modern counterpart of the mixer – a blender that works faster, more powerful and, in addition to mixing, does an excellent job with other responsibilities assigned to it.

We think many will agree that there is nothing better than freshly ground and the same freshly brewed aromatic coffee. But now you don’t have to buy a coffee grinder to brew a drink from freshly ground beans.

Than to replace: coffee makers (including budget ones) appeared, combining the function of grinding beans. But this, probably, will not interest gourmets who prefer coffee brewed exclusively in a Turk.

Fresh juices faded into the background with the emergence of a trend for smoothies. Nowadays, fruits and vegetables are not squeezed out of juice, but crushed to a liquid, puree-like state. It turns out to be more satisfying than juice, and at the same time all the benefits of fresh food are preserved. In addition, freshly squeezed juices, according to doctors, are harmful to health.

Than to replace: we owe the emergence of a new thick drink to the same magic wand called a blender. In half a minute, he will prepare any cocktail that your soul desires.

Dairy products that are dated even today do not always turn out to be what they would like. That is why devices have appeared that allow you to cook milk-based products at home. One of these is the yogurt maker, which dispenses the freshest yogurt after six to seven hours.

Than to replace: We also found a replacement for this wonderful device – this is a multicooker, which is capable of preparing fermented milk products and a dozen other dishes.

Not many can boast of this appliance in the kitchen, nevertheless it is. Why go to the movies when you can make the same delicious popcorn at home and then watch a movie on your favorite couch? But for such a pleasure, you do not need to buy a separate appliance, because there is an assistant who will cook popcorn, cook potatoes in their uniform, and warm up the soup.

Than to replace: yes, this is a good old microwave – and, perhaps, the only device for which there is still no equivalent or superior replacement. True, many are convinced that microwaves bring terrible harm to health. However, there is no scientific confirmation for most of these conjectures.
