In the age of fast-paced lifestyles and the never-ending need for convenience and shortcuts, we all find great value in anything that can make our lives easier. We’re all familiar with the consequences of settling for the convenience of fast food and meal deliveries, so the best thing most of us seek out are tools and gadgets that not only shorten meal preparation time, but also minimize kitchen cleanup. Read on for a few of our favorite multi-purpose appliances that revolutionize the way we prepare our meals.

Steam Ovens
Steaming your food is one of the easiest and healthiest ways you can prepare your meals at home. For days when you have almost no time to waste, you can opt to wrap your meat or carb of choice, vegetables, herbs, and maybe a few splashes of olive oil in tin foil or a cooking tray and leave the rest of the work to your trusty steam oven. Steam ovens are versatile that you can prepare dimsum, cakes, and even yoghurt with minimal effort. MyHome recommends Miele’s line of steam ovens that also double as microwaves.

Rice Cooker
Gone are the days when rice cookers are reserved for only preparing rice. Modern rice cookers are now designed to perform other cooking functions like stir-frying, slow-cooking, and even baking. The secret lies in the pot used to contain the rice, or whatever meal you choose to prepare in the rice cooker. When purchasing a rice cooker, don’t settle for the cheap models that are made attractive because of the insanely low price points. Find a high-quality model that comes with a non-stick pot, which promises even distribution of heat to do away with burnt bits sticking to the edges of the pot. MyHome recommends the new Tefal Spherical Pot Rice Cooker, a revolutionary gadget inspired by the Philippine palayok that promises a myriad of meal prep options, and of course, perfectly cooked rice every single time. The product was just recently introduced to the market through a media launch held last February 26, at SM Makati


Air Fryer
Take a conscious step to live a healthier lifestyle by investing in a quality air fryer. Air fryers achieve almost the same—if not even better—crispy texture we all crave for with fried food. This is achieved by circulating hot air around the food at high speed. This way, you’ll be able to indulge in fries more often without the guilt. MyHome recommends Philips Airfryer, available in SM Home.
