Every week, the Men’s Folio Team shares about the latest tech items that they desire, not limiting to whether these gadgets will actually end up in their possession. This week, it’s all about kitchen appliances — toasters, coffee machines, blenders and popcorn makers.
Say what you might, the kitchen is the true heart of the house. It is not where the screens are, it is where the food is because we eat to live and live to eat.
It is also probably true that we spend most of our time in the house (other than in our bedrooms) here, so the concept of home decor applies too. Combining aesthetic form and functionality with the right kitchen appliances can affect how our food turns out more than you think, so here are some of the gadgets that the Men’s Folio team wishes to get to spruce up their food-making experience.
Asaph Low, Managing Editor: Anova Precision Oven
What more can you ask from an oven that does it all including steaming, air frying, and sous-vide apart from the usual cooking modes? Perhaps for stocks to be replenished faster because it has been sold out for the longest time.
Bryan Goh, Deputy Editor: Balmuda Toaster
Is it eye-wateringly expensive? Yes. Is it the OG of toasters because it has modes to specifically toast things like croissants and baguettes? Yes. Is it something I’ve considered essential to have in my bid to become an actualised adult in his thirties? Yes, it’s been sitting in my shopping cart for weeks.
Charmaine Tan, Senior Digital Writer: Osma Pro
The sleek Osma Pro is the cold-pressed juicer of the coffee world. Using on-off bouts of high water pressure to extract coffee, or acoustic cavitation, it gives a higher extraction yield in two minutes than a traditional cold brew can achieve in 24 hours. Cold brews have never been easier to DIY.
Izwan Abdullah, Associate Creative Director: Easypop Hot Air Popcorn Maker
Not to be corny, but I think life would be butter with this Easypop Hot Air Popcorn Maker in it.
Manfred Lu, Senior Fashion Writer and Stylist: Blendjet 2 Portable Blender
A high-powered blender that works just as well in the kitchen as it can on the go? I’m sold. What’s even more impressive is the variety of colours you can choose from; sort of like an iPhone, but for your smoothies.
Lance Aeron, Art Assistant: Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle
It just looks so super sleek and slay. I love that they have multiple colours too but pink is my favourite.
