The best kitchen torch is the Kollea 878A Culinary Butane Kitchen Torch. It offers adjustable heat up to 2,500 degree and comes with a safety mechanism for the trigger. It’s very easy to use and works great for all kinds of dishes.

The best soda maker for the average user is the One-Touch Fizzi. It comes with pre-set levels of carbonation which is a very handy feature to get consistent results every time you use it. The snap and lock bottle holding system works great as well.

The best pod coffee maker for most people is the Dolce Gusto Esperta. It makes specialty coffees without a complex milk frother and can be used for hot and cold brewing. On top of that it comes with a 60-ounce reservoir that heats up quickly.

Our top pick for the best tea maker is the KEK1322SS Electric Glass Tea Kettle. It works great, even for loose-leaf teas, offers 5 heat settings and more than enough volume, thanks to the 1.5-liter kettle.

Our favorite deep fryer is the T-fal FR8000. It comes with a 2.6-pound basket capacity and holds up to 3.5 liters of oil. It has a built-in drain and filtration system, making the cleaning process a lot easier than with traditional fryers.

The best countertop convection oven is the COSORI CO130-AO. It can roast, toast and air fry while being large enough to prepare most meals for a family. The non-sticky interior and the crumb tray round off the package.

The best air fryer for almost every kitchen is the 3.7-quart Cosori air fryer. It’s large enough to prepare meals for a family of four and has 11 different settings to cook pretty much every meal perfectly.
