The really great thing about cool kitchen gadgets is that – if you live with other people or just like to entertain - they’re not just for you at all. Making food taste better, whipping up fascinating and exotic dishes or turning common ingredients into something completely different in half the time is what a quality kitchen gadget enables you to do. And what son, sibling, date or darling doesn’t love the sound of that! You can even tell them about the gadget while they’re devouring your delicious creations. Just don’t mention the price. The title of kitchen genius usually comes at a cost.

With 14 built in settings that’ll take the heat out of cooking time, and a bunch of safety mechanisms that allow you to relax with a glass of wine while the magic is happening, you have a new best friend.
