What are Labour Saving Devices? Labour Saving Devices are all those appliances that help you to speed up the cooking process, save time and money. Examples of Labour Saving Devices are: Electric kettle Microwave oven Pressure cooker Food mixer Hand food mixer Food processor Liquidizer Coffee maker Juice extractor Electric sandwich maker Toaster
Electric kettle An electric kettle is the best way to boil water for home and office use. It makes hot beverages like tea fast and easy to prepare. Tea tastes much better when made with freshly boiled water, compared to water heated in a microwave. All these kettles switch off automatically when the water boils, which is a big advantage over the stove top kettles which whistle until you turn them off.
Microwave oven A microwave oven, or microwave, is a kitchen appliance employing microwave radiation primarily to cook or heat food. Microwave ovens have revolutionized food preparation since their use became widespread in the 1970s. However many chefs find microwave ovens to be of limited usefulness because the Millard reactions(a type of browning) cannot occur due to the temperature range.
Pressure cooker Pressure cooking is a method of cooking in a sealed vessel that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset pressure. Because water's boiling point increases as the pressure increases, the pressure built up inside the cooker allows the liquid in the pot to rise to a temperature higher than 100 °C (212 °F) before boiling.
Food mixer Food mixers are very good use of making sponges, cakes and buns. These have a big bowl that with it there are attached electric beakers for the making of whipping cream, mixing sauce, whisking fat and rubbing fat into flour. This is also used for cake mixes and bread.
Hand food mixer Hand food mixers have a very good use for making cakes and whisking egg whites. These are not so very heavy as the normal food mixers so they are handy and easy to carry too.
Food processor Food processors are very useful in grating, chopping and whisking. They usually have a range of blades that fits into a large bowl or jug. These are a speedy preparation in making of soups, breadcrumbs, dips and pastry mix.
Electric sandwich maker This electric sandwich maker works with electricity as the name says. There are two main types of sandwich makers. These are the square plates and the triangle plates. These can be also two sliced or four sliced too.
Coffee maker To force the water through the coffee, the simplest espresso machines use pressure that comes from heating water inside a sealed vessel. These types of machines can be bought for around $50, and there's even one that is made especially to take on a camping trip.
Juice extractor Juice extractors are always handy and easy to carry. With these juice extractors you can get juice out of the fruit and vegetables. With these device you can make your own tomato pulp and you can also make a fresh orange juice.
Liquidizers or blenders These liquidizers or blenders are used to crush chunky food into a liquid. These are also a good source for making soups, milkshakes, baby food and fruit juice.
Toaster A toaster is a small electric kitchen appliance designed to toast bread, an act also known as 'making toast.' Prior to the development of the electric toaster, bread was sometimes toasted by placing it in a metal frame and holding it over a fire.
