Small Kitchen Appliances

While you might immediately associate Abt Electronics with large home appliances like refrigerators and washing machines, if you walk a little further inside the store you'll find small kitchen appliances, too. And though they're smaller physically, some of these devices are just as necessary as a dishwasher. Things like toasters, microwaves, coffee makers, and sous vide devices are what make your home and life function the way they should. Explore the small kitchen appliances that can make your meal-prep easier in our kitchen and dining shop.

The Basics: Small Appliances Everyone Needs

There are some things that are foundational to every home, and gear that you need no matter what. Think coffee makers, mixers, and toasters. Whether you're replacing a broken gadget or building your starter kitchen, it's crucial to have something that makes that first cup of joe and bite of toast in the morning. These small kitchen appliances take the pressure off of cookware, and into more portable devices that are easy to use and quick to manage. (Some people do still prefer to make coffee and toast on the stove, though.) Whether your kitchen is large or small, there's the constant question of "How am I supposed to manage all these devices?" Countertop space is often in flux, and it's popular real estate. It's a good idea to keep this area clear for when you're actually preparing food, and have devices you don't always use stashed away in cupboards or pantries when possible. That way, you'll have space to chop ingredients, organize your mise en place, and keep cooking more manageable. It's a good idea to keep items you use every day on the counter or island anyway, so commit to creating a permanent space for that electric kettle or coffee machine.

Small Kitchen Appliances Curated To You

In a varied market where recipe-sharing abounds, there are all kinds of devices to meet niche needs. For example, one of these miscellaneous small appliances cooks ten hard-boiled eggs (perfectly) at once. Another vacuum seals foods for extra-long storage. These are curated to meet specific needs, whether you're hosting dozens for brunch or trying to keep food fresh for as long as possible. Other high-tech gear is made for home chefs interested in making the newest foods and recipes. Check out our "What Is Sous Vide" guide to learn more about this thorough cooking technique, and its heated immersion circulator. Those in search of faster meals might do better with a pressure cooker or instant pot. No matter how great your meals are or what recipes you're hoping to use, make sure your galley is equipped with small kitchen appliances to help you make your favorite bites.
