In almost every kitchen you can see a lot of small household appliances for everyday use. Moreover, the range of these devices is expanding with the striking speed, and innovative devices appear every 3-4 years. How did the engineers pleased their homemade culinary seasons?

Kitchen combines, mixers, blenders ... Every year hundreds of new models appear. Most of them differ little from older fellow. However, there are really impressive new items that largely determine the concept of developing the kitchen. Thirty years ago, such innovation were a microwave oven, about ten years ago - bakery. And what devices are in demand in the kitchen today?
Vacuumators for home
One of the most interesting new products is a vacuumator. This once professional tool is now used in everyday life. The vacuumator is designed for packaging products in cellophane with simultaneous air pumping and seating the package. It turns out neat, hermetic packaging, which largely protects food from damage, the shelf life increases by 2-3 times.
Vacuumators will help pack a sandwich, a pie or a portion of homemade domestic (for example, on the road or on a picnic), and will also be suitable for packaging products for subsequent freezing. Vacuumators differ in performance (household models are designed to pump 10-15 liters per minute) and functionality.
In complex and expensive devices, along with standard, additional vacuumization modes can be provided - intensive, as well as gentle, for fragile products. Other options are separate vacuumization modes for dry and wet products, as well as the possibility of packaging in containers.
If vacuumators are already available on sale, only fanatical adherents of healthy nutrition were heard of vacuum blenders. These devices are designed to prepare frosh and smoothies. Before grinding products from the bowl, part of the air is pumped out (about two thirds of volume). Such vacuumization has a number of positive effects - smoothies are obtained fresh, several times retain the color (say, the apple flesh is slower slower) and the useful substances that are destroyed by contact with oxygen.

"Suvid" translated from French means "in vacuum". The technology of preparation of products sealed in vacuum packages, in water or with 100% moisture and temperature in the range from 50 to 95 ° C came to homemade kitchens from the restaurant business. Now it is possible to cook at home professionally: products will retain not only the aroma and taste, but also (due to low-temperature preparation) all useful substances and vitamins. For example, light fats are perfectly preserved in fish and meat, and in vegetables and fruits - crisp structure. Using a vacuumator, you can plan the menu in advance and make the workpiece immediately for a few days ahead: Vacuum packaging allows you to keep the freshness of the products for a long time to prepare them at the right time.

Cooking at home like in a restaurant
With the help of small household appliances, you can prepare a variety of dishes, including those that are traditionally considered "not homely", such as ice cream or yogurt. Nevertheless, household ice creammen and yogurtnitsy are presented in the Bork, Redmond assortment and some other companies.
Let's say Bork's ice cream is inferior in size to the refrigerator, but it is capable of maintaining a decrease in temperature to -30 ° C, which is far from every freezer. And of course, no one will add palm oil to homemade ice cream or yogurt and other ingredients used sometimes by professional manufacturers.
Cooking at home can be pizza. For this purpose, both universal mini-furnaces are suitable and specialized. The pizza is baked at high temperature, from 300 ° C and higher, which not all embedded wind wardrobes can support (although in some of them there is a special program for cooking pizza).
If we talk about pasta, then considerable efforts are required to prepare a dense dough for paste. Pasta-machine Philips HR2355 compresses the dough with a force of over 700 kgf (with the power of only 200 W), therefore its consistency is obtained exactly what it is necessary.
As for sausages, many modern meat grinders are suitable for their manufacture. The latter includes special nozzles for making kebabs and home sausages. Very interesting, a variety of nozzles offered as options to some mixer models with a bowl, for example, Cooking Chef (Kenwood) or Artisan (KitchenAID). Among them are nozzles for cutting noodles of dough, ice cream (Kenwood), a press for berries.
From the new products, we note a hand-acting spiralizer with additional functions of cleaning, removing the core and spiral cutting 5KSM1APC (Kitchenaid), allowing you to quickly and beautifully chop vegetables and fruits. Spiralizer is equipped with a seven replaceable blades for cutting as ultra-thin strips ("Angel Hair") and thicker tapes; In addition, there is a blade for thin-layer cleaning of apples and potatoes.
Conventional blenders can also boast innovation. Thus, the model from the Artisan series (Kitchenaid) is equipped with an electromagnetic drive for transmitting an effort from a motor to cutting blades: magnets in the housing interact with magnets in the jug of the device, which drive steel knives. The blender looks very impressive.

Modern juicers
The screw juicers who have replaced with centrifugal (centrifugal) models, are perceived by some users as an innovation. In fact, the mechanisms for such a spin appeared quite a long time - in the USSR they were produced on the basis of meat grids, but were firmly forgotten and now worried about the second birth.Modern screw juicers are equipped with an improved stnek of durable plastic. They have many advantages over centrifugal, which is especially important for household devices. The screw models work quietly, carefully, are able to effectively press the juice (though, only with the flesh) from any fruit and berries. Their disadvantage is high cost.
Advantages of auger juicer
- Low noise level compared to noise when operating an electric meat grinder. There is no "zigcular saw squeezing", which is characteristic of centrifuge models (the speed of the screw - 50-100 rpm, centrifuge - 3000-4000 rpm).
- Crushed carrots and objects of other vegetables can be used to prepare a row of dishes. Cake from the centrifuge juicer has another consistency.
- The screw devices pressed juice from any vegetables, fruits and berries, including raspberries and currants, for which centrifuge juicers are not suitable.

Teapots and coffee makers of the new generation
Since the appearance of teapots and coffee makers, and then their electrical fellows were responsible for the preparation of hot drinks. What can be improved in the water boiling device? It would seem that only appearance appearance. However, kettles can boast not only design. In recent years, they increasingly include various water heating modes for brewing at different temperatures.
Ten years ago, in some models, an intelligent LED backlight appeared, showing the heating stage of the technique. And today there are teapots (and other technique) with Wi-Fi control.
Innovation is in the market for making coffee. Especially many of them in the segment of complex and expensive coffee machines, which deserve a separate conversation. But the coffee makers are also improving.
The most interesting novelty steel coffee makers for making coffee Pubern. This drink is preparing as follows: through a layer of large-scale coffee with a thin flowing of the spiral spirals, water is sprawled, warm up to a temperature of 92-96 ° C. This method was invented by the Japanese, and in 2000. It became very popular in the United States and some other countries. Purovarian coffee makers appeared on sale Much recently: to automate the actions of the barista during welding it turned out very difficult.
In general, do not hurry to surprise - household appliances for the kitchen have not yet exhausted their engineering capabilities. And do not forget to see which models presented manufacturers in the line Multicrock and plates.
