10 Best Kitchen Gadgets For You To Try In 2025
1. Ninja Creami
The Ninja Creami is a versatile frozen dessert maker that transforms frozen ingredients into a variety of treats using unique Creamify Technology. Unlike traditional ice cream makers, it works by processing already frozen mixtures instead of churning a liquid base.
The Creami comes with preset functions to help elevate your dessert game to new heights, including:
- Ice cream
- Gelato
- Sorbet
- Smoothie bowl
- Light ice cream
- Milkshakes
How it works
The Creami uses a high-speed spinning blade to break down large pieces of ice into extremely small ones, creating a perfectly smooth texture that's perfect for sweet treats like ice cream and sorbet.
This also means you can create your favourite desserts to your needs and tastes. So, if you're trying out a high-protein, dairy-free or low-sugar diet, you can satisfy your cravings and stay on track.
2. Zojirushi NP-HCC10XH
This Zojirushi product is a high-end induction heating rice cooker with precise temperature control and versatile cooking options.
The rice cooker uses advanced three heaters to ensure consistent, even cooking, ideal for perfecting different types of rice, including white, jasmine, sushi and brown. There's even a GABA brown rice setting that activates amino acids, maximising health benefits.
How it works
Using advanced induction heating technology, the rice cooker can be set to precise temperatures, producing high-quality, fluffy rice without clumping or a gummy texture.
Further controls enable you to delay cooking times and keep rice warm, so you can guarantee perfectly cooked rice just in time for dinner.
Exceptional rice does come at a price, though. The Zojirushi NP-HCC10XH boasts a premium price tag and may take more time to cook your food, with white rice taking around 54 minutes.
3. Anova Culinary Nano Sous Vide Precision Cooker
The Anova precision cooker is a compact and versatile kitchen appliance designed for precise temperature-controlled cooking. If you're looking to perfect steaks and other dishes in 2025, the Nano Sous Vide can help bring fine dining to your kitchen.
A key benefit of this sous vide is its precise temperature control, with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit between temperatures of 32°F to 197°F (0°C to 92°C).
Better still, the precision cooker can connect to your smartphone via the Anova Culinary App, so you can monitor and control your cooking without being in the kitchen.
How it works
The Nano Sous Vide attaches to any water-filled pot with a fixed clamp and can circulate up to 8 litres of water per minute.
To cook the perfect piece of meat, simply attach the device to a water-filled pot, put your cut in a sealed bag, put it in the water and then set the desired time and temperature. For additional flavour and texture, you could even sear the food after cooking.
The Anova Culinary Nano Sous Vide Precision Cooker makes our list because of its accuracy, ease of use, and ability to produce consistently high-quality results. So, if you fancy dipping your toe into sous vide cooking this year, you can't go far wrong with the Anova Culinary Nano.
4. Meater Pro Smart Bluetooth Wireless Meat Thermometer
The Meater Pro is a cutting-edge wireless smart meat thermometer designed to elevate your cooking experience. Its sleek, stainless steel probe has multiple internal sensors and one ambient sensor for precise temperature monitoring.
The probe connects to an app, too. So you can easily check the target, ambient, and internal temperatures. It'll even give an estimated cooking time, which is super-handy if you need to leave the grill for an extra drink.
How it works
To use the probe, insert it into the meat before cooking. The internal sensors will measure the meat's temperature, while the ambient sensors will track the cooking environment.
When the meat cooks, temperature data is transmitted to your phone via Bluetooth - you can track this on the Meater app.
The app will calculate the cooking time and alert you when the meat is ready to be removed from the grill and served.
The more you use Meater Pro and its app, the more its algorithm learns from your cooking habits, helping you achieve consistent results that you can be proud of.
So, if you want to be king of the grill this year, the Meater Pro could be a crucial tool in your arsenal.
5. Ooni Karu 12G Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven
This Ooni pizza oven is one of the most advanced, combining versatility, performance, and innovation to help you make pizza that turns heads, not stomachs.
The Karu 12G can reach temperatures of up to 500°C/950°F and can cook a 12-inch pizza in just 60 seconds. Better still, it can be used with wood, charcoal, or gas.
How it works
The pizza oven is easy to assemble and weighs around 15.5kg. Once it's ready, it can pre-heat to 450°C/850°F in about 15 minutes, but you can track this using the integrated thermometer.
When it's time, slide your dough onto the cordierite baking stone and watch it cook. If you use solid fuels (wood or charcoal), you'll get an authentically delicious wood-fired pizza.
6. Zyliss Easy Pull Food Processor
Something a little more cost-effective and convenient now. This Zyliss food processor is something you could use every day.
The food processor uses serrated stainless steel blades to make dicing and chopping veggies like garlic and onions quicker, easier and less emotional.
Better still, it's made with dishwasher-safe components, so there's no difficulty washing up.
How it works
Simply load the 750ml container with whatever you want and use the pull-cord mechanism to cut and dice its contents. It's that easy. And, the food processor is made with sweeper arms, too, so there'll be no big lumps left over.
