Top 10 Appliance Splurges For Your Kitchen

10 appliances that should be on every cook’s wish list:

1. Standing Mixer
It will set you back a couple hundred dollars, but a standing mixer is essential if you like to make things from scratch. Depending on how many attachments you purchase, you can prepare baked goods, make your own sausage or stretch your own pasta.

2. Full-Size Food Processor
I personally own a small one and it is such a pain having to do everything in batches. Invest on the large one.

3. Hand Mixer
Not as cumbersome as a standing mixer, it is portable and very versatile.

4. Immersion Blender
Perfect for pureeing things right in the pot or cup, this blender is the solution to making delicious soups and smoothies with little effort.

5. Ice Cream Maker
Nothing is more satisfying that creating your own ice cream delicacies on hot summer days.

6. Bread Machine
Who doesn’t love fresh bread? With this machine you can take the work out of enjoying homemade bread every day.

7. Crock Pot
Make delicious stews without having to hover over the stove for hours.

8. Rice Cooker
Perfect rice every time.

9. Waffle Iron
Go for the kind that makes Belgian waffles.

10. Wok
If you love Chinese take-out, investing in your own Wok will totally be worth it.
