This document discusses several common kitchen appliances: hand mixers, which have blades to beat and mix ingredients; microwave ovens, which cook food quickly using microwave radiation; refrigerators, which keep food cold to preserve freshness; blenders and food processors, which can chop, slice, shred and puree foods; gas stoves with burners and ovens; pressure cookers, which reduce cooking times while retaining nutrients; and griddles, which are used to grill meats and leave a smoky flavor.

KITCHEN EQUIPMENT
Talking about kitchen equipment
typically refers to the larger, either manual or automatic, implements in your kitchen. These are appliances that aid in processing, cooking, baking, and freezing food. HAND MIXER Hand mixers are used to beat, whip, and combine ingredients, all requiring a smooth functioning set of blades that turn easily and consistently during the mixing process. Hand mixers that are electrical typically have several mixing speeds either in numbered settings or simply low, medium and high speeds. MICROWAVE OVEN A microwave oven is a very popular kitchen device that heats and cooks food by the use of microwave radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum in a very quick time and maintain the nutrients in food. Microwave ovens are used for reheating earlier cooked foods and cooking a different variety of foods. REFRIGERATOR The fundamental reason for having a refrigerator is to keep food cold. Cold temperatures help food stay fresh longer. The basic idea behind refrigeration is to slow down the activity of bacte- ria (which all food contains) so that it takes longer for the bacteria to spoil the food. BLENDER Grind semi-solid ingredients, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, into smooth purées FOOD PROCESSOR A food processor is a versatile kitchen appliance that can quickly and easily chop, slice, shred, grind, and puree almost any food. Burner Gas Range with Oven A gas stove is a stove that is fuelled by combustible gas such as syngas, natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas or other flammable gas. PRESSURE COOKER • Pressure cookers are designed to make short work of slow cook dishes. They're economical both in the amount of power they use and are also ideal for tenderizing cheaper cuts of meat. They can reduce cooking times by up to 50% and retain nutrients well, making them a healthy cooking method. GRIDDLE A griddle is mostly used outdoors for cooking traditional barbecue foods, such as steak, chicken, sausages, and burgers. Unlike a skillet, it grills food properly and leaves a smoky flavor. Also, it can cook food at higher temperatures to improve the taste.
