I was attracted to this topic due to the great importance it has to do with us the female gender and our numerous activities at home. I believe that most home appliances are found in the kitchen arena. Hahaha... But in all of them, they play a role in helping us live a better and simpler life at home.

Name your favorite household appliances you often use at home

My favorite home appliances are most appliances found in the kitchen area. They are mama's helping hand as they play a very vital role in enhancing the preparation of meals which is the engine room or energy giver of the house. Imagine a home that does not have a kitchen and those appliances that make you a smooth running of it. Everything does not only become manual but difficult or lengthy to achieve.

Some of my top favorite appliances include the Blender which helps me have a smooth grind of my perishables like fresh tomatoes, fresh and dry papers, crayfish, and other cooking items that required to be mashed. It is one key appliance that facilitates easy and smooth food preparation.

The other on my list is the cutlery. When I say culinary, it encompasses the Ladle, Knife, Forks, and Spoons. They may seem intangible but serve a great deal in handling the mist of our kitchen preparations. The ladle which may also be referred to as the cooking spoon or big spoon aids in turning for adequate ingredient mix while cooking.

The Knife is another utility appliance that aids in cutting and chopping food items into sizable portions for easy handling and boiling. The meat, fish, onions, stockfish, veggies, etc. are best handled with the use of a knife to guarantee sizable eating portions during preparation.

The forks and spoons are either used for eating, picking up fried items from the pan, or other uses.

What are the functions of this appliance(s)

The Electric Blender:

I have given a little intro on the use of the electric blender above. The electric blender is one key utility item in the house that helps every woman carry out her kitchen activities diligently. The blender helps in mixing, mashing, or crushing perishable foods and other items for easy kitchen use. We also have those that mash harder foodstuffs like cereals and other hard surface substances.

Do we also know that most smoothies are quickly prepared using the blender? Fruits are meshed and blended with milk that serves as smoothies. This is possible due to the smoothness it gives the food item blended while in use.

In times of emergency where foods are expected to be prepared, they serve this purpose in a way that is responsive. Fast foods are made using this tool, and this is achieved with little or no effort and energy dissipation.

The Kitchen Cutlery

This is another utility tool that plays the role of a multitasking function. The fork in this set could be used for eating for those who prefer to use it other than the conventional spoon. The spoon itself which is the usual tool for eating still retails this function fully as it is in the pattern of afrcans to use them.

The ladle among it is the big spoon which is the third hand of every woman. It helps every chef to stir and mix very well while in the process of cooking. Ingredients could be properly mixed while preparing delicacies using the ladle. It is the big cooking spoon.

Another great tool in the cutlery set is the knife. They come in different sizes but most importantly they used to chop down the sizes of food items, be it meats, veggies, or other perishable items.

How often do you use this appliance(s)

These are my every day-to-day home appliances. So far I make fresh meals a home, there is every tendency they are put to use. The ladle is mainly used for turning and stirring meals while preparing or during steaming. Therefore, it is a major tool to be handled on a daily basis.

The knife plays its role daily too. The chopped onions are done using a knife to enable us to achieve sizable and edible sizes while preparing our meals. Even the fresh tomatoes and peppers are chopped down into sizable amounts before dropping them into the blender for better grip and meshing.

The spoon and fork are everyone's daily home items for eating. Since we won't want to eat with our bare hands, these item plays the important role of facilitating feeding oneself.

In summary, home appliances are items that play different roles in making sure we have some level of comfort while living in our homes. They help us make meals better, and prepare for our daily activities in a faster and energy-conservative manner. Most of the time, we don't require man-power to operate them unlike when it used to be manual methods.

I will be inviting @general, @dar22, and @adylinah to make their contributions.
