Thanks to the internet, there’s never been a better time to learn how to cook. However, many of culinary creations depend on additional tools and appliances—and input from an electrical contractor to ensure the wiring can support your new equipment. If you’re interested in elevating your cooking, or at least making the process easier, there are a few appliances that will help. 

3 Essential Small Appliances  

1. Stand Mixer

Whether you want to make cakes, bread, pasta, or just whipped cream, you should have a stand mixer. Shop around for models that are compatible with multiple attachments like a grinder to make ground beef, meatballs, and sausages. Stand mixers are more powerful than handheld devices and can range from 250 to 1,000 watts. The stronger the motor is, the easier it will be to create thick or sticky mixtures like dough. 

2. Blender

For the smoothest texture, get a high-performance blender. These models are so efficient that they can even make almond and cashew milk. This is helpful if you’re lactose-intolerant or trying to cut back on dairy. Blenders can range in wattage from 300 to 1,500 depending on their speed and capacity, so make sure the outlets can handle the one you choose. If not, have an electrical contractor upgrade them.

3. Food Processor

To cut down on any chopping, shredding, slicing, and mincing, have a food processor on standby. Making salsa, coleslaw, or hummus will be a breeze! Like a stand mixer, you can buy different attachments to achieve several types of cuts. They come in different sizes, so you can prepare food for the family or a large party. A small 4-cup processor runs on 250 watts, but a larger, more powerful 14-cup unit can use up to 1,000 watts
