Are you moving into your own space and wondering what kitchen essentials to invest in? That’s where we come in! We’re here to guide you in making the best decisions for a well-equipped kitchen.
The world is evolving fast—AI and smart technology are making life easier, and the same goes for kitchen appliances. Cooking can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when meal prep takes too long. But with the right tools, it becomes quicker, easier, and even enjoyable! At YouCookAndLive, here are our top five kitchen must-haves for 2025:
1. Blender
If you’re Nigerian, you know that blended peppers form the base of almost every stew and soup. A good blender is a game-changer in reducing cooking time and effort. Whether you prefer your peppers roughly blended or completely smooth, this is a must-have appliance in any kitchen.
2. Air Fryer
The air fryer has been a game-changer in recent years, and it’s here to stay! With health consciousness on the rise, this appliance is perfect for anyone looking to cut down on oil while still enjoying crispy, delicious meals. It uses hot air circulation to fry food, making it a healthier alternative to deep frying. From chicken to fries—and even baking—this is a kitchen essential.
3. Juicer
If you’re looking to ditch sodas and processed drinks, a juicer is the way to go. It extracts fresh juice from fruits, giving you a natural and refreshing alternative. You can mix different fruits to create exciting, tropical blends. A must-have for those on a health journey!
4. Electric Kettle
An electric kettle is a simple but essential appliance that saves time and energy. Whether you need hot water for tea, coffee, this equipment heats water in minutes—saving you from using your gas stove for small tasks.
5. Pressure Cooker
Some might debate this, but a pressure cooker is a lifesaver when it comes to cooking tough foods like beans and meat. It uses high pressure to trap heat, increasing the boiling point of water and cooking food much faster. If you want efficiency in the kitchen, this is a worthy investment.
With these five appliances in your kitchen, be ready to cook up a storm and experiment food in your kitchen!

I would think microwave first, yet it is not on the list.
Any reason?
