    Small Cooking Appliances

    Did you know?

    Know your timings

    If you usually air fry for 15-30 minutes. Slow cooker for 1-2 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low.

    Air Fryer Apple Chips

    Thinly slice apples, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and air fry at 300°F for 10-12 minutes for a healthy sweet snack.

    Use the Right Size

    Your slow cooker should be ½ to ¾ full for best results. Too empty = overcooked. Too full = uneven cooking.

    Butter the Outside

    On your sandwich toaster, add butter or mayo on the outer bread = perfect golden crisp. (Pro tip: mayo crisps even better than butter)

    Seal it Tight

    For classic sealed toasties (like cheese and ham), press the edges down a bit before toasting.

    Stack smart

    In a steamer denser stuff goes lower, lighter stuff up top. It all cooks at once, and you barely had to try.

    Pizza Dough Hero

    Bread maker = best hands-free pizza dough maker. Use the dough setting, then roll and top.

    Use a Base with Fat

    When it comes to ice cream makers whole milk + cream = smooth, rich texture. Low-fat = icy disappointment.
