How to choose the right appliances for enjoyable cooking?
Cooking should remain a pleasure, not a chore. But between home-cooked meals, the desire for original recipes and the pace of everyday life, it is essential to be well equipped. At Cooking à la Française, we believe that the right tools make all the difference. So how do you find your way through the jungle of kitchen appliances? What equipment should you choose to save time, make successful dishes and keep the pleasure of cooking intact? Follow the guide.
The MINIPRO hand blender: your best everyday ally
It's THE modern Swiss Army knife of the kitchen. Compact, powerful and ultra-versatile, the MINIPRO stick blender is every bit as good as professional equipment.
Why do we love it?
- • Express blending, perfect texture: smooth soups, homemade compotes, creamy sauces or fruity smoothies, it adapts to all your desires.
- • Huge time saver: no need to dirty ten utensils. You blend directly in the pan.
- • Smart accessories: whisk, chopper, measuring bowl... everything you need to cook like a chef, without cluttering up your worktop.
Tip: Ideal for batch cooking enthusiasts. In just a few minutes, you can prepare your bases for the week: purées, soups, sauces... (see How to plan your week with batch cooking)
The XXL salad spinner: freshness guaranteed
We often forget it, but a large-capacity salad spinner makes all the difference. It's simple: a well-dried salad is a salad that's crisp, holds dressing better and really makes you want to eat it.
Why is it a good investment?
- • Large capacity: extremely practical for families, meals with friends or preparing meals in advance.
- • Highly effective: one turn of the handle and your leaves are as dry as they would be in the height of summer.
- • Less waste: well-preserved vegetables last longer.
Good to know: it can also be used to spin dry fresh herbs, rinsed red berries or even prepare spinach.
The electric juicer: your vitamin boost
Want to start the day with freshly squeezed orange juice? Yes, but without straining your wrist. The electrical juicer is the perfect companion for early mornings.
What it offers:
- • Zero effort, maximum juice: it extracts every drop from oranges, lemons or grapefruit without you having to press like crazy.
- • Saves time at breakfast: quick to use, easy to clean.
- • Perfect for homemade juices: no added sugar, no preservatives, just fruit.
Bonus: Ideal for cooking too! Fresh lemon juice for salad dressings, marinades, desserts...
