Gourmands and canned-food junkies alike love kitchen appliances. The automatic coffeemaker that brews a steaming cup of java before you’re even out of bed. The convection microwave that heats leftovers, defrosts meat, pops perfect popcorn—and roasts chicken, bakes bread, and crisps bacon. The blender with super turbo speeds that can chop nuts, mince onions, or make a mean smoothie. Whether it’s about convenience or extravagance, what are your top five must-haves for the kitchen?
