Having lots of gadgets in the kitchen makes life a lot easier by saving you time. Can you imagine life without an electric cooker, or a refrigerator, or even a tea kettle? And by saving you time, modern gadgets allow you to become more creative, to have fun, and to learn more about healthy food and new recipes.
Sales of electrical gadgets have risen sharply over the last five years. This new interest in buying kitchen gadgets shows there’s a growing interest in cooking and baking, and a desire to eat more healthily. New kitchen gadgets make tasks in the kitchen easier, quicker, and better, and the rise in sales suggests that people are enjoying making meals, drinks, and snacks at home rather than buying them.

But once we’ve bought these gadgets, how often do we use them? A recent survey found that 36% of people who have bought or been given a bread maker hardly use it. Sandwich toasters were hardly any better, with only 28% using them. We all know someone who has bought a bread maker because they had dreams of coming down the stairs every morning to the smell of freshly-made bread. Or someone who has come home with a brand new juicer and a recipe book full of ideas for fresh fruit and vegetable juices to improve your health and give your complexion a youthful glow. After a week of enthusiastic bread-baking and fruit-juicing, the gadgets are soon left on the top shelf in the kitchen and never used again!
Why is this? It’s probably due to a number of reasons, but one could be the growth of the quality food industry in recent years. Good quality, healthy, fresh food has become more easily available in places like farmer’s markets, health food stores, and supermarkets. People living busy lives have to compare the time it takes them to buy the ingredients, make the product, wash the gadget, and risk a homemade “failure,” compared to the time it takes them to buy a good quality product that may cost slightly more.
