Gadgets and kitchens go together like salt and pepper, but the choice of gizmos on the market can be bewildering. We’ve looked long and hard to find you the ones that actually save you time, make day to day tasks a lot easier and the boring ones more enjoyable.

Kettles: The latest electric kettles are as much about designer looks as being quick and easy to use. Not surprising really when you think they’re on display all of the time and used by practically everyone. Why just make tea when you can make a style statement?

Toasters: Another piece of equipment no kitchen is complete without. Creating the perfect piece of toast is an art that deserves special consideration and a style all of its own.

Food Processors: Once you’ve used a food processor you’ll wonder how (or why) you ever managed without one. Chopping, cutting, slicing, blending, mixing has never been so quick or effortless. Who knows what you might whizz up?

Coffee makers: There’s nothing like the taste of freshly brewed coffee and nothing more welcoming than the aroma spreading through the house. Today’s coffemakers are simple to use and make sure you leave the ‘instant’ in the back of the cupboard.

Bread makers: If you’ve ever tasted bread straight from the oven you’ll know just how good it can be. Modern breadmakers not only take all of the hard work out of baking your own loaf, they can also turn a complete novice into a master baker overnight!
