What about you? Do you agree?
Our team is composed of dedicated enthusiasts of kitchen appliances and gadgets. After previously covering an Amazon mega sale featuring quality blenders and air fryers, we are now excited to spotlight two Cuisinart kitchen essentials that have been recognized in the 2024 Best Kitchen Gear Award.
The award, presented by Good Housekeeping, recognized two Cuisinart products in its 2024 list: the Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Grill and the Coffee Center® Barista Bar 4-in-1 Coffeemaker—and for us, these products are top-tier picks.
Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Grill
This Air Fryer Toaster Oven is a top seller on Amazon for a reason, featuring a dual-sided grill. One reviewer said, “The air fry function is amazing. Fries are crunchy but not dry. Perfect size for my household, easy to use, even my 91-year-old mother can use it.”
As per Cuisinart, it fits 6 slices of bread, air fries 3 pounds of chicken wings, bakes a 12-inch pizza, or roasts a 4-pound chicken. What we particularly love about this product, however, is its nonstick interior, which makes cleanup a breeze.
Coffee Center® Barista Bar 4-in-1 Coffeemaker
This coffee maker brings the ultimate brewing flexibility with four options, all in a sleek, compact design. One Amazon reviewer said, “We use the pot on weekends and the K-cup and Nespresso sides during the week.” Another user shared, “I’ve had many coffee makers looking for the best cup of strong coffee (Starbucks is my benchmark), and this Cuisinart 4-in-1 checks all my boxes.”
Cuisinart also claims that the coffeemaker’s steam wand is perfect for pouring hot water for tea, matcha, hot cereals, and even soups. Can you believe that?! But this isn’t why we love the product—it’s the automatic brewing, 24-hour programmability, and the 12-cup glass carafe for up to 12 cups of coffee.
In addition to these two must-have Cuisinart items, we’ve also found some standout products from other brands that deserve a spot in this post:
- Bella 2-Slice Slim Toaster. A toaster that offers a sleek design with a 10-inch slot for versatile toasting, six shade settings, and a high-lift lever for convenient access to smaller slices, all while keeping your countertop tidy.
- KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker With Integrated Scale. This rice cooker with touchscreen technology automatically adjusts the water and grain ratio, offers 21 preset cooking options, and lets you schedule cooking up to 24 hours in advance.
- Bartesian Professional Cocktail Machine. A cocktail maker that lets you easily create drinks with a capsule and includes a bottle lock for safety and automatic rinsing for easy cleaning. Amazon buyers love its “easy function,” “lightweight,” and “pod choices,” saying, “Just pop in the pod and voila!”
The bottom line
While we only mentioned a few of the 2024 Best Kitchen Gear Award winners in this post, that doesn’t mean we hate the others! There are many other great products on the list worth checking out.
