1. Havells prolife crystal digital air fryer

If you’ve spent any length of time thinking about cooking, you’ve considered getting one for your kitchen but haven’t taken the plunge for one reason or other. We’re here to tell you that the air fryer hype is real and that it’s a game-changer in any kitchen. The biggest reason to consider getting an air fryer is health. Because it uses so much less oil for frying foods, your calorie and fat intake comes down significantly.

While using an air fryer for the first time may involve a bit of a learning curve as you learn to adjust to a new style of cooking, an easy-to-use air fryer like the Havells prolife crystal digital air fryer will make your job much easier. The simple design is easy to maintain, the glass top allows you to keep an eye on the food while it’s cooking, and the presets remove much of the trial and error from your cooking process.

2. Kent atta and bread maker

Kneading dough for rotis or bread is a physically demanding and tedious process, and also a messy one. Picking up a bread maker will save you both time and effort and will likely find yourself experimenting with different types of breads and baking far more often than you normally would.

We’d recommend the Kent atta and bread maker for your bread-making needs. Featuring 19 presets that include the ability to make both roti and pizza dough, this appliance is perfect for your kitchen. Better yet, this appliance doesn’t just make dough, you can also use it to bake cakes, make jam, and even sticky rice!

3. Bajaj electric kettle

Having something that can make hot water instantly and on demand is an underrated superpower in any kitchen. In fact, you’ll be surprised by how much you’re relying on this simple appliance once you get one.

Sure, you could use an electric kettle to quickly brew a pot of tea or coffee, but it’s also great when making stews or cooking sauces where you need to constantly keep topping up the pot. It’s far quicker to top up such a pot with hot water than it is with cold water. 

The same applies to rice noodles – which need to soak in hot water – and dishes like pasta where you can have boiling water ready in advance! A good starting point is the Bajaj KTX DLX electric kettle. It’s a simple, inexpensive appliance that does all of the above, and a great addition to any kitchen.

4. Instant pot duo electric pressure cooker

A pressure cooker is a staple in any Indian household. We’ve all grown up to the sound of whistles blowing come lunch time, and many of us have likely mastered the art of counting whistles to keep track of cooking times. The modern equivalent of this is the electric pressure cooker.

While it doesn’t have the nostalgia factor, a modern electric pressure cooker can simplify and elevate your cooking by keeping track of your food and even managing pressure for different kinds of foods. No more burnt dal!

We’d suggest you go for the Instant pot duo electric pressure cooker. It can pressure cook your food and also double as a saucepan, steamer, slow cooker, rice cooker, food warmer, and even yoghurt maker, making it the perfect, all-round kitchen appliance for most homes.

5. Preethi cocosta coconut scraper and citrus juicer

Keeping with the health theme, another item we can’t recommend highly enough is a juicer. Fresh juices are far healthier than any store-bought juice, and you’re far likely to go through the trouble of making juice if you have a juicer on hand.

If you are opting for one, we’d like to nudge you towards the Preethi cocosta coconut scarper and citrus juicer rather than a regular juicer. As the name suggests, this juicer not only juices fruits, but also scrapes coconuts for you.

These five kitchen appliances have been carefully selected for their versatility and functionality they add to any kitchen. With these appliances on hand, cooking delicious foods will be a lot more enjoyable and convenient.
