After all, technology today makes life much easier for us. According to surveys, a significant part of the fair sex would be happy to receive a slow cooker or food processor as a New Year's present. So proceed! And we will help determine the type and model of kitchen appliances.
Blender
The Philips HR1659 submersible blender will be a great New Year's gift, and all because he can cut vegetables into cubes! The device is able to "chop" 1 kg of salad "Olivier" in just 30 seconds. In addition, a blender can knead the dough, cook soups and mashed potatoes, finely chop nuts, chocolate and onions.The power of the device is 600 W, the number of high-speed modes is 20. Included is a chopper, measuring cup, nozzles for cutting cubes, slices, shredders. It is such a miracle technology about 6000 rubles.
Of the stationary models is very popular Moulinex LM300. The type of control is mechanical, the number of speeds is 2. The volume of the jug is 1.5 liters, it is made of durable red-hot glass. You can whip cocktails and creams in it, make soups and mashed potatoes, knead batter. There is a very useful impulse mode (processing of particularly hard products). The blender itself is quite heavy and cumbersome, but in this case it is only on your hand - the gift box will look solid and presentable. Device cost - 2040 rubles.
Multicooker
The slow cooker is an indispensable culinary device in which you can cook everything: from soups to baking. It is not surprising that every good housewife dreams of such a gift. The slow cooker knows how to cook pilaf and roasts, stews and tomines food, expertly cooks porridges and soups, makes amazing pastries and yogurts. And this is not the whole list of her skills. Convinced that this is a wonderful gift in all respects? Then we proceed to the analysis of models.
In 2017, the multi-cooker of the REDMOND brand - RMC-P350 with a pressure cooker function proved excellent. It boasts 14 culinary programs, delayed start and temperature maintenance modes. Control type - electronic, power - 900 W, volume - 5 l. In it, you can fry, simmer, soar, bake and pasteurize - the functionality of the device is extensive and automated. Among the shortcomings can be noted only a decent weight of the removable cover and the bulkiness of the technology itself due to the large height. The cost of multifunctional multicooker - 8360 rub. Expensive, but, as users say, it's worth it.
SUPRA MCS-5182 leads among budget models. It is inexpensive - 2300 rublesbut it has an enviable functionality:
- 18 auto programs (fries, soars, stews, bakes, can cook porridges, rice and yogurt).
- The ability to manually set the temperature and cooking time.
- 900 watts of power.
- Electronic control type.
- Large bowl volume (5 l).
- Heat maintenance function and delayed start mode.
In fact, all the same options as the REDMOND RMC-P350, but at a more affordable price. Of the minuses, only a loose fit of the lid was noticed.
Juicer
You can donate a juicer for the New Year not only to a woman, but also to a man. Fresh juices are loved by everyone, which means everyone will like the device. It remains only to determine the model.
An interesting option offers Bosch - MES4010. This is a centrifugal juicer with an anti-drip system and automatic pulp ejection. Juice is served immediately in a glass (included), the volume of which is 1.5 liters. The neck is round and rather large (84 mm), so that fruits and vegetables can be thrown whole without cutting into slices. Power - 1200 W, which is enough for the processing of solid products. Comprehensive protection is provided - from accidental switching on, from overheating, from improper assembly (the device simply will not turn on). Price - 12 000 rubles. The disadvantages of the juicer are only 2: the vibration of the body and the impossibility of processing fibrous vegetables / fruits. Overall, the Bosch MES4010 justifies its high cost.
If you don’t have such a sum, but you really want to give a juicer to a close person, we suggest you pay attention to Leran JEM-1260BT. This is one of the cheapest, but quite decent models. There is no cheating on the brand, so the device will cost you only 4000 rubles. Half steel case, 1200 W of power, 2 speeds, a glass for juice in the set, with a capacity of 1 liter, automatic ejection of pulp, lid-separator - the technical characteristics are no worse than those of famous brands. The maximum speed of processing products - 20 000 rpm, which is very, very good. From weaknesses it is possible to note only the absence of an anti-droplet system, otherwise the device is beyond praise.
Coffee machine
Before giving the coffee machine for the New Year, make sure that its future owner loves coffee. Otherwise, it will just gather dust somewhere in the corner.
Coffee lovers will appreciate the Delonghi model - EC 155. This is one of the best-sold rojk coffee machines in 2017 (it is also called “espresso coffee maker”). It allows you to use for the preparation of an invigorating drink, not only ground coffee, but also disposable capsules. And it is very convenient. First, you do not need to have any special skills for making coffee - put the capsule, turn on the device and in a few minutes the drink is ready! And secondly, the coffee machine does not need to be washed and cleaned so often. The power of the device is 1100 W, the volume of the water tank is 1 l, the maximum pressure level is 15 bar.Included is a manual cappuccinator. Coffee machine cost - 9160 rubles. The disadvantage is only a strong noise at work.
Of the cheaper models, Tefal CM361D38, a convenient and easy-to-use drip coffee machine, has proven itself well. Prepares drinks exclusively from ground grains. Power - 1000 W, the volume of the coffee pot - 1.25 liters. Equipped with a light on indicator and power saving mode. The case has a plastic, and the design is made in red and black colors. Price - 3273 rubles. The standard model for home use - no frills and "cool stuff", like a cappuccinator and pressure gauge. The disadvantages can be attributed only, perhaps, the lack of a display.
Food processor
The "Jack of all trades" can be described as a modern food processor. It can combine several devices at once: a meat grinder, a juicer, a blender, a mixer, a grater ... And therefore it is considered a very prestigious and expensive gift.
One of the expensive and high-quality models - BOSCH MUM 54251 can replace with itself ½ of the kitchen appliances. It combines a blender, a juicer, a vegetable cutter, and a meat grinder, has many nozzles (for dough, for beating,for slicing / dice) and useful functions (pulse mode, blocking from accidental activation, protection against overheating). Power - 900 W, 7 speeds. The only disadvantage is the price - 15 660 rub.
Among the budget models can be identified PHILIPS HR7761 - food processor in combination with a blender. There are no “bells and whistles” like the previous model, but the technical characteristics are quite decent:
- 750 watts of power;
- 10 nozzles in a set (a universal knife, a grater, a disk for cutting into straws, etc.);
- the presence of the mill (for grinding spices and nuts);
- 2 speeds;
- durable plastic case.
Among the shortcomings, users note the small volume of the bowl (2.2 l) and the not very good build quality. Worth PHILIPS HR7761 at the moment 5200 rub.
Electric kettle
This is a gift from the category “the most that” - inexpensive, in demand and practical. If you need a quality model for little money, we recommend you pay attention to the Philips HD9334. The power of the device is 2200 W, the volume of the tank is 1.5 liters, the case material is plastic. Equipped with a closed spiral, liquid level indication and lid lock function.The stand has a special compartment for storing the cord (it can be extended up to 7.5 m), which is very convenient to use. The teapot is made in a pretty gray color, this line does not offer other colors. Device cost - 1450 rub.
So what about the famous Tefal models? The sales leader of the year - Tefal KO 150F Delfini Plus. The power of the device is excellent - 2400 W, the volume is 1.5 liters, the case material is one-piece plastic. The cover has the ability to be completely removed, and not recline, as in most models. There is a function of blocking the inclusion of no water. The type of heating element is a closed spiral. The device is slightly more expensive than the previous one, - 1570 rubles. Although the functionality and quality are about the same. Cons: uncomfortable cover, no scale of water division.
Of course, sometimes it is very difficult to understand what a woman wants for the New Year, but the listed kitchen appliances will certainly not cause a wave of discontent. As we have said, the equipment facilitates the difficulties of life, therefore, such skilled assistants in the household will be only welcome.
