Now, as someone who tests and reviews kitchen appliances for a living, you might think I have them all. But I’m actually quite picky about which appliances deserve a place in my small cottage kitchen. They’ve got to be worth it. If something takes too much time to assemble or is too heavy to bother heaving out of the back of the cupboard, then I just won’t bother using it.

Arguably all kitchen appliances are designed to pick up the slack and make your life easier in one way or another, otherwise they’d be pointless. But to really make food prep easier I think the appliance itself should be straightforward to use, assemble, and clean.
