Quality, safety & product selection

When purchasing electrical kitchen appliances, it pays to look for high-quality workmanship, GS test marks and CE labelling. Non-stick coatings should be PFOA-free, and removable parts should ideally be dishwasher-safe. An auto-off function and stable footing further increase safety in daily use.

Frequently asked questions

Which steam cooker is suitable for beginners?▾

For beginners, compact steam cookers with easy operation and sufficient capacity are ideal. Models from Philips or Russell Hobbs offer preset programs, a timer and a keep-warm function, so vegetables, fish and rice can be gently steamed at the touch of a button.

What is the difference between an air fryer and a classic deep fryer?▾

An air fryer works with circulating hot air and requires little or no oil, whereas a classic deep fryer cooks food in hot oil. Air fryers are lower in fat and more versatile, while classic deep fryers produce a traditional, crispy frying result.

Which multicooker is versatile in use?▾

Versatile multicookers like the Ninja Foodi or Cosori Turbo Blaze combine functions such as steaming, braising, frying, yoghurt making and even baking in one appliance. Look for programmes like sous-vide, slow cooking and rice cooking to cover as many dishes as possible with a single appliance.

What should I look for when buying a contact grill?▾

Important factors include a high-quality non-stick coating, even heat distribution and removable grill plates for easy cleaning. Models with a drip tray and adjustable temperature make preparing meat, fish and vegetables considerably easier.

How do I care for and clean a deep fryer properly?▾

Allow the oil to cool completely after each use and filter it to remove food residues. Many modern deep fryers from Tefal feature an Oleoclean system that filters oil automatically and stores it in a separate container. The removable parts are usually dishwasher-safe.

Which accessories are recommended for sous-vide cooking?▾

For sous-vide cooking you need a sous-vide stick, vacuum-sealable bags and a vacuum sealer. Caso and Unold offer matching sets with bags and sticks. A water bath container with a lid reduces evaporation and ensures a constant temperature over long cooking times.

Are hot plates suitable as a replacement for a missing hob?▾

Yes, mobile single and double hot plates from Rommelsbacher or SEVERIN are a practical temporary solution during kitchen renovations, when camping or as an additional cooking zone. They are compact, can be plugged into any socket and reach high temperatures quickly.

Which appliances are ideal for small kitchens or as a gift?▾

For small kitchens, space-saving multifunctional appliances such as multicookers or compact air fryers are suitable. As a gift, high-quality toasters from KitchenAid or Braun, a versatile contact grill or a practical steam cooker are an ideal choice – they are everyday-friendly, durable and visually appealing.
