So to ensure that you nail down the absolute best aids in the kitchen, it is important for you to read up on whether certain appliances and tools will work best for you or not. Here we highlight 4 possible add-ons to your arsenal—read on to find out if these items have a place in your kitchen or not.
Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker
Some people wake up bright and early, ready to take on the day. These are the people who go on an easy 10-mile run when they wake up and take their morning green juice seriously. And then there’s the rest of us—waking up bleary-eyed and still wanting to enjoy a few extra minutes in bed. If you’re just as much of a foodie as we are, the thought of breakfast might be the best motivation for you to drag yourself out of bed. This is where the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker comes in.
It works like this: you turn on the device and wait for it to heat up. Then you add your muffin (maybe a bit of cheese) to the bottom compartment, slide the divider and crack an egg into it, then close the top compartment, wait out a bit, then slide in a protein of your choice, and then the top half of your English muffin. That’s it—a full breakfast without much effort on your part.
This breakfast sandwich maker may come across as gimmicky at first glance. However, we want to experience firsthand the magic that is this sandwich maker. Just need to decide to go with the single or double?
Things we love about this:
- You can just leave ingredients in and prepare for the day, saving you a lot of time
- It’s affordable and you can save money in the long run
- You can experiment and create your own breakfast sandwich
Stainless Steel Butter Spreader Knife
While we’re at the topic of mornings made more magical with the help of our kitchen appliance, we’d be remiss to neglect to mention the Stainless Steel Butter Spreader Knife.
What makes this knife special is its tiny little holes feature that gives you those dainty curlicues on your butter. It makes buttering toasts much easier. Now we know that purchasing a fancy butter knife might not be your top priority (these ones certainly do not come cheap compared to regular ones), but if you want to indulge a bit, then you certainly won’t go wrong here.
It is very appealing, however, having a real tool for those pesky hard sticks of butter.
Things we love about this:
- It makes the butter more spreadable
- We love the delicate little curls that it makes too
- It is designed in a way that keeps the bread from being torn
Final Touch Watermelon Keg Deluxe Tapping Kit
Now let’s talk about strong summer aesthetics. Flipflops, sunnies, and a tall glass of your favorite refreshing beverage. With this heat, you might think about attending or hosting a few summertime gatherings too.
A sure crowd-pleaser will be for you to prepare a tasty and refreshing watermelon juice. If you’re really looking to nail the aesthetics, you might be interested in the Final Touch Watermelon Keg Deluxe Tapping Kit. Is it absolutely necessary? Probably not. You always have the option to just use a regular punch bowl and make a day out of it. But if you’re as over-the-top as we are in hosting summer gatherings, then you might love this just as much as we do.
Things we love about this:
- This 4-piece keg kit makes for a fun conversation-starter
- It’s a great alternative for a punch bowl
- It comes with easy-to-follow instructions
- It dispenses juice easily and is infinitely more fun to use
Revolution Cooking R180 High-Speed 2-Slice Stainless Touchscreen Toaster
Have you ever had toast that is so evenly crisped on both sides? This sleek and sophisticated toaster can help you start your mornings with perfectly toasted bread. It comes complete with a touchscreen system that allows you to control the level and settings to which you want to toast your bread.
Here’s how it works: it removes the guessing-game and that few microseconds of worry on your part that your bread will come out burnt. What the R180 does is toast your bread according to your specifications, with the screen showing you where your bread is in the toasting cycle.
So to anyone who’s curious, yes, the Revolution R180 is a great toaster. In terms of performance, it is top-notch. Plus, we have to admit that it looks great on the countertop too. However, at some point, you will need to ask if a $300 toaster is what you really need. It crisps up bread flawlessly for sure, but the price tag that this comes with is a pretty hard pill to swallow. Still, we recommend this product if you do have a little extra in your wallet and are feeling indulgent.
Things we love about this:
- Its sleek design
- It warms up pretty quickly so you won’t have to wait too long to enjoy your toasted bread
- Even at the highest setting, it still doesn’t burn your bread
