Top 10 kitchen appliances designed to help you satisfy your sweet tooth cravings
My favorite part of a meal is…dessert! I have a massive sweet tooth, and if you give me a piece of cake, I’ll be sitting in contentment for hours. As much as I love devouring desserts, I’m not the best at making them. This would reduce my stress and help me save some money. For all those dessert lovers who love gobbling up anything sweet in sight, but unfortunately struggle at preparing them – this collection of kitchen appliances has been curated specially for you. These kitchen appliances are perfect for home chefs who love to make waffles using LEGOs and icing tools to decorate cakes. These gadgets can be used for dessert and are approved by YD. Enjoy!
1. The CucinaPro Building Brick Electric Waffle Maker
The CucinaPro Building Brick Electric Waffle Maker gives the humble breakfast food a new twist, turning the large square waffle into a series of stackable bricks! The waffle maker’s heat plate is designed to resemble a LEGO-ish mold, and the resulting waffles come with studs on the upper surface, and hollow areas on the lower surface to allow the waffle bricks to lock into each other. The patent-pending design lets you make 14 bricks of different sizes with each serving, allowing you to explore quite literally a new dimension when it comes to food. Brick waffles are better than stacked pancakes.
Why is it noteworthy?
Each CucinaPro Building Brick Electric Waffle Maker also comes with 2 serving plates designed to provide the perfect stacking/eating experience. These plates have studs to provide the base for any build. Two small containers at the sides let you keep your condiments, such as maple syrup or butter cubes.
What we like
- Gives the waffle an interesting makeover
- Lets you make 14 bricks of different sizes with each serving
What we dislike
- The redesign may not go well with those who love traditional style waffles
2. ScoopTHAT II
Imagine how good an ice-cream scooping spoon would have to be to win a Global Innovation Award. The ScoopTHAT II is able to cut through a block of ice cream without any fuss thanks to a heat-retaining liquid in its handle, and an internal thermally-conductive alloy construction that directs heat towards the scoop’s edge. ScoopTHAT II cuts through frozen cream using only heat transfer. It does not require electricity, batteries, or any other power source.
Why is it noteworthy?
The scoop features a concave scoop head and a metallic rim. This allows for effortless scooping, regardless of how hard your ice cream may be. Non-stick coating makes it easy to scoop ice cream from the spoon. This gives you the perfect looking spheres, worthy of a Global Innovation Award.
What we like
- Gives you effortless and perfect scoops, no matter how frozen the ice cream is
What we dislike
- Could be more economically priced
3. The Bruno
Arguably an iPhone moment for toasters, the Bruno isn’t three separate appliances, but rather a 3-in-1. The Bruno is a replacement for three separate appliances, but it looks nothing like an oven or toaster. It also adds color and vibrancy. Bruno is a clamshell appliance that has a hinged lid. With heating coils on the base as well as the lid, you can use the Bruno just like an oven (except this opens differently) by even choosing which heating plate you want to activate.
Why is it noteworthy?
Open the lid and fire up the lower coil to create an impromptu barbecue that can be used with any type of food. Close the lid and activate both heating coils and you’ve got a toaster that toasts bread kept horizontally! The Bruno also comes with a removable crumb tray that makes it easy to keep your 3-in-1 appliance in tip-top shape.
What we like
- It’s a 3-in-1 appliance
What we dislike
- Bruno’s clamshell aesthetics may not appeal to everyone
4. Samsung Cusine
Samsung Cusine features the built-in inductive heating technology of Samsung that can go up to 300-degree F and it will heat up anything you put in the oven. Sullivan explains that this portable appliance is perfect for any trip – camping, hiking, or picnic!
Why is it noteworthy?
The portable oven is simple in design, with a flat surface and the iconic button that looks like a pill. It is divided into two sections: top and bottom. The top heating container is perfect to cook or keep your food warm, while the bottom container can be used to store fruits or desserts.
What we like
- Portable design
- Built-in inductive heating technology
What we dislike
- It’s still a concept!
5. Nest Oven Tins
A specially designed lip on the front of this tray makes it easier to pull the tray out of the oven, and wide handles on the side let you hold the tray once it’s out of the oven… you know, so you don’t risk fumbling with your tray of food. And here’s the best part – like all of the products in the Joseph Joseph Nest(tm) line, the oven tins nest right within each other for easy storage.
Why is it noteworthy?
As someone who has dropped a lot of cookies and one lasagna, I find it counterintuitive to have oven trays and pans with larger gripping surfaces. Nest Oven Tins are simple innovations that address a common problem: hot dishes can be removed from the oven while wearing heavy and cumbersome oven gloves.
What we like
- Wide handles on the side
- No more fumbling with your tray of food
What we dislike
- The aesthetics are pretty traditional and unassuming
6. The Morphy Richards multi-oven
Move over the conventional ovens that we all have got so bored of, as the Morphy Richards multi-oven has arrived on the scene breaking the monotony of the same old cooking methods. This unique design evolves the already similar ovens, while adding a classic touch to the best kitchen appliance on the planet. To put it lightly, even the most talented chefs over the years wouldn’t be able to express their creativity without an oven.
Why is it noteworthy?
The designer lets his imagination run wild with the Morphy Richards oven, while keeping practicality in mind. This oven is capable of making delicious, fresh cookies or crisp toasts. This Morphy Richards multi oven is good for any cooking regimen and fits into any kitchen countertop design – be it conventional or ultra-modern.
What we like
- The nostalgic dials and slider buttons bring back the cherished memories of robust appliances of the golden era
What we dislike
- Not suited for those who prefer modern + sleek appliances
7. Toco
Modeled on the shape and design of a toucan bird (remember Rafael from the movie Rio? Toco helps to core an apple and make it spiralize.
Why is it noteworthy?
Made from plastic (so it’s relatively safe around kids), Toco’s beak comes with a circular element at its tip that pierces into the fruit’s core, while the beak itself has a sharp-ish edge that cuts through the fruit’s flesh. Toco’s eye-hole serves as a finger-rest too, giving you the leverage you need to easily cut through the fruit. A few twists later, you’ve got yourself an apple that’s core-less and ready to eat, bake, or decorate your smoothie bowl with! Toco can be used with many types of apples, as well as pears!
What we like
- Makes fruit fun!
What we dislike
- No complaints!
8. The Ember
Called the Ember, this conceptual portable oven features a monolithic design and has a sleek and clever build to ensure it can be used on a stove’s flame – without electricity – to create that ideal condition for baking. This oven can be used on the counter or packed on a backpack for camping. But as the designer puts it, the oven is more specifically a solution designed to facilitate baking in small kitchens.
Why is it noteworthy?
Baking with Ember allows you to make healthier meals in smaller spaces than traditional methods. The unit is more convenient to use as well – simply place it on the stove flame, fill Ember with its container for baking cupcakes, and close the glass lid. Heat travels from the edges to the top, where it bounces off the lid and bakes the cupcakes beautifully. The heat can also be allowed to reach the Ember center. This allows the cake to bake evenly from the bottom.
What we like
- Portable design
- The heat is allowed to enter the Ember from the center, which bakes the cakes evenly from the bottom
What we dislike
- No complaints!
9. The Cakewalk 3D
If there’s any food that can be extruded, the Cakewalk 3D can pretty much extrude it, thanks to a stainless-steel food tube, a helix that pushes the food out like an Archimedes screw, and a Nema 17 motor that runs the extrusions while the entire setup (which gets mounted on the X-Y axis arm of your printer) moves back and forth to create complex patterns that you feed into your printer program.
Why is it noteworthy?
Think of the Cakewalk 3D as an automated version of your hands and a piping bag. You can use the extruder to hold your piping materials, such as icing, honey, meringue or savory ingredients like ketchup and non-chunky guacamole. Designed to work with most standard 3D printers including the ones from brands like Creality, Anet, Anycubic, Alfawise, Prusa, or any FDM printer, the Cakewalk 3D operates using the software you’re already familiar with including the Gcode you need to set the printer paths. All you need to do is prepare your food to a slightly runny consistency (think honey or ketchup) and load it into the extrusion chamber.
What we like
- ‘Prints’ food
- Made from food-safe non-toxic materials
What we dislike
- Unsuitable for kitchens with space constraints
10. THE SEAL
Not only do ice pops act as a tasty refreshment on a summer’s day, but they can also be used to quickly cool us down in the sweltering heat. However, the ice pop-making process is anything but quick, which can lead to frustratingly long waits as our impatience levels increase. This is certainly not the case for THE SEAL, which reduces the processing time down to a mere 10 minutes!
Why is it noteworthy?
You may be asking how this has been achieved? It takes full advantage of the working principle of an ice-cream maker but reduces the volume significantly. This, paired with the metal molds that reduce the freezing time even further, allows for ice lollies to be made in just a matter of minutes… so you can enjoy the refreshing treat on a whim!
What we like
- Minimal aesthetics
- Reduces processing time
What we dislike
- It’s still a concept!
