Slogging over the stove is no fun, especially during the festive season, when there are guests that need entertaining. The right kitchen appliance can make a world of difference, saving you from lengthy hours of preparation and giving you more time to mingle. Here are some of the latest must-have kitchen gadgets that make cooking and entertaining a breeze.

SMEG’s Galileo

Heritage meets innovation as SMEG rolls out Galileo, a new generation of made-in-Italy ovens that aims to revolutionise the cooking experience for the modern home. A redesigned heating system allows for maximum efficiency, while three different cooking modes – traditional, steam, and microwave cooking – lets you put together entire feasts, from appetisers to mains and desserts.

Spearheading the Galileo line is the Omnichef range, an all-in-one oven which highlights the brand’s multi-cooking technology. Enjoy full control over recipes, as different cooking methods can be programmed to operate one after another or simultaneously, without needing to reset temperature and duration parameters.

Wow guests with healthy and flavourful dishes made with the steam range, which combines traditional cooking and variable dispensing steam. The Steam100PRO offers steam injections between 20 percent to 100 percent yielding fat-free results that keep moisture sealed in and flavours intact. Other special functions include sous vide cooking, barbecue, stone cooking, and air frying. There is also a multi-point probe that can identify internal temperatures from up to three zones within an ingredient, ensuring meat and fish are always cooked to perfection.
