Kitchen appliances are a must for anyone who likes to eat, drink and be merry every once in a while. No longer the exclusive property of the well-to-do homeowner, kitchen appliances are now affordable enough for families or individuals of all socio-economic backgrounds to acquire. Why put bread into the oven, when bread can be put into a toaster? Why run out to the store for popcorn, when a few kernels can be popped into the microwave? Why spend time manually cutting lids off of pasta sauce cans, when an electric can opener can do the job?

Why guess when the Thanksgiving Day turkey is cooked to perfection, when a special thermometer can indicate when the bird is done? Why bend over the kitchen counter and chop garlic, red peppers and potatoes, when an all-purpose chopper can slice, dice and mince to perfection? Why hand-wash dozens of dishes following a feast fit for a king, when an electronic dishwasher will soak, wash and dry?
