Just married or planning to get married soon? When you make your vows to be with your spouse for better or for worse, consider that it is important to have the very best. Keep the fire burning by always remembering that the way to the heart is through the stomach. That’s right – you need to have a well-equipped kitchen to be able to prepare the best dishes for your spouse.
Start your life together with some must-have small kitchen appliances for newlyweds!

Blender
Why do you need a blender? Blenders are great for creating natural, healthy food. You can make milkshakes, smoothies, and fruit shakes using your blender. You can also create soups. While a food processor can also come in handy, many new blenders are multi-purpose. Look for a high quality blender especially when you are planning to use it rather often.

Toaster Oven
If you can’t afford a full-sized oven or would like to save on gas or electricity, a toaster oven can be a good alternative. Aside from making toasted food, you can also bake small goods like cookies and cupcakes. Toaster ovens are also a good way to grill small amounts of meat or cook frozen meals. They do not cost a lot, and buying one that is big in size can be a good investment especially if it’s just the two of you for now.

Now that you’ve seen this list, you can add it to your wedding registry or shopping list if you don’t receive it as a gift. Remember, your appliances and your marriage should both be high quality and long-lasting! Visit your nearest EMCOR store today or shop online to see your options.

Rice Cooker
Rice is the top staple food for Filipino families. Investing in a good rice cooker is a must for newlyweds. There are also programmable rice cookers which you can fill in advance so you can come home to perfectly cooked rice. Rice cookers are also more consistent than cooking rice on the stove, especially if you are aware of the proper water-to-rice ratio. Whether you want to buy one just enough for the both of you, or one that can accommodate your soon-to-be family, there’s one in the right size for you.

Slow Cooker
Slow cookers, also known as crock pots, are useful for preparing meals in advance. If both of you work outside the home, then it will be a perfect way to save time and money. You can buy ingredients in bulk, prepare them in advance, and just fill the slow cooker and turn it on whenever you need to have a good meal prepared by the time you get home. There are many sizes with a variety of features, and investing in a programmable one can pay off well.
