1268 - Kitchen Stuff

Lately I've been thinking about what kitchen appliances I personally would want and use. So now I've decided to do a train-of-thought blog about it and list them down.
  1. Air fryer / convection oven combo. I became an air fryer convert because of our air fryer and the stuff my wife makes using it. Having an appliance that can fill the role of both an air fryer and an oven would be a nice space saving solution. You can bake, heat things up, and "fry" food.
  2. Microwave oven. I honestly feel like having a microwave oven would solve all the times I ate cold food here in the house. Plus this would be very beneficial to meal prepping, something I've always been curious to try.
  3. Rice cooker. Not those high tech rice cookers with different options. Just your humble, basic, fully functional rice cooker. We can steam food while cooking rice, and we can still do those one pot rice cooker recipes with a basic rice cooker.
  4. Induction stove top and a butane gas stove. Notice most of the appliances I want require electricity to work. Well, in case of power loss you can cook with a butane gas stove. If power is available, an induction stove top will do. Plus the butane stove can be used if I use a moka pot that won't work with induction stoves.
  5. Blender / food processor. Apparently modern tech has created a system that can be a hand blender, a blender, a hand mixer, and a food processor. This would be very useful for a lot of things in the kitchen.
  6. Mandoline. This is for slicing things, and something I've always wanted to own to speed things up.
  7. Box grater. Another useful thing to own, because I've seen a lot of things online that use a box grater. It just isn't used for cheese! Mind-blowing stuff.
  8. Wasabi / ginger grater (oroshigane). This initially seems like a strange purchase but I think you can grate more than just ginger and wasabi with this. Maybe garlic and spices as said in the website.
That's it for now. I'd enjoy having these things so I can use them to try out meal prep and other things.

Out.
