The Best Countertop Appliances | Serious Eats

Would you recommend having both a vitamix and a magimix? Is there one that can do all? Or do you need both?

I can't get over how gigantic American kitchen appliances can be lol. Unless you're cooking for 12 people daily, you can replace all these with a handmixer plus regular cookware and utensils.

Yuk! Dog the counter.

My comment PLEASE ADD CAPTIONING! I only understand some of what you are saying and captioning would help a lot of us, I’m sure. Thanks.

cant beat the toasty make /not a toaster lol

The KitchenAid 5 and 6 quart models are EXTREMELY LOUD!

I want a chicken nugget recipie

Got everything except the waffle maker, pizza maker and soda machine. Brb gonna go shopping

Definitely get the vitamix. Yes, it is very expensive but it is super high powered and will last decades. A cheap blender will need replacing after a few years with moderate use but the vitamix will last you 20 or 30 years.

I have used a Breville toaster oven for not quite two years The buttons are failing and the toast feature only does one side. Too bad because it's awesome to use when it was newer.

So, since you owned it, you must have lots of money and space!

I only see 3 items for daily use..instapot, blender, and electric tea pot. The food processor is a good investment for frequent users.

I am surprised no airfryer!!

When you live in a small apartment with a small kitchen, you can only permanently keep up to small appliances on your counter top. Everything else must be kept in a small appliance cabinet or a roll around kitchen island cart. Personally, I am looking for a tall open cabinet for holding a large microwave, and large toaster oven while storing a heavy stand mixer and food processor underneath. Those ovens need lots of breathing space around them too.

No juicer?

I can barely make toast without burning it. 🥖🔥
Why am I even watching this? 🤷

Chicken nugget please

All u need is a garden and some chickens.

U mention they're good products but give no real insight the specific functions of each product. Like we know what a kettle does but maybe explain the different temp settings or i get u say its a good blender but what are the power levels? Doesn't make me trust the person when they can't even tell me why the product is different from the competition

Great ideas

I am looking for a dual oven stand for my fulls iced microwave and a large Brevelle toaster oven. Sadly no one online sells such dual oven stands. I hate loosing precious counter top space to a big toaster oven.

I do not agree with the vitamix. It’s more worth it to get a vacuum blender for the price c’mon

Hilarious like I’m gonna spend 600-900 bucks on that red mixer but damn it’s gorgeous

The older Hobart mixers actually have metal gears too. I have one and it’s a beast!

I love Breville since , the movie Enemy of the State, and that blender l still own, but how much did they pay ya'll 😋😋😋

*laughs in cheap*

Brags about her channel any chance she gets , we get it you want money

...and then she swaps saliva with the dog at the end.

I have everything on this list except the pizza maker. I’m serious in my home cooking. Lol!

Your suggestions seem, mostly, to be in lottery territory. I will respectfully suggest, based on over 45 years of cooking, that any "expert" list of essentials be taken with at least a modicum of skepticism. Buy very little to begin with and add to that according to what you actually need, at an affordable price. Shop your local thrift store, not an online kitchen boutique. Don't end up with a kitchen overflowing with thousands of dollars' worth of stuff you've never used.

After cooking for a family of 5, I have yet to purchase a food processor. I have knives and I'm not afraid to use them; none of my knives cost $150, let alone more. In fact, I doubt that all the knives I've ever bought cost that much, in total.

Excellent video! Ariel is a delightful narrator

Chicken Nuggets, Please!!!

Wait - Robot Coup?

Oh no, I have a serious crush on Ariel. And I am here for a chicken nugget recipe. 😂

She look like my gym teacher

Sodastream has plants in occupied areas of Palestine. It's really shocking to hear you guys support war crimes!

Sodastream? Wtf???

She finds it hard to make rice on the stovetop?
Sad.

Have a look at the Braun Food Processor from Germany. The best thing about it is the variable speed in addition to pulse. It also has a smaller bowl that fits in it, a dough blade, a shipping blade and a citrus juicer. It's also relatively quiet. It's a wonderful piece of machinery.

After burning out 3 "kitchen" blenders, I bought a "bar" blender. 3 speeds, Off-Lo-Hi.

Loose the pizza oven. Buy unglazed ceramic (or terracotta) tiles to put on your oven rack. Much cheaper.

Well done Ariel! Thanks for your info. I keep going back and forth about taking the plunge about an expensive food processor. You have convinced me to go for the vitamix. Your videos are delightful, fun and informative. More!!!

Was this just an ad for ads?!

Chicken nugget recipe, please.
