1. Refrigerator

As the most essential kitchen equipment in Singapore to store your food, a refrigerator is the first appliance you need to buy! Refrigerators are one of the most costly appliances to invest in for your new home. Hence, it’s important that you consider all factors before you make the purchase. Pick a refrigerator based on your family size, cooking habits and kitchen space. If your family is relatively small — about two to three people — and you don’t cook often, a regular-sized refrigerator such as the PowerPac 136L 2 Door Bar Fridge with Freezer (available on PowerPac Official Store) will do the job just fine! We love its optimal door gasket design and energy-efficient compressor — so you won’t get any nasty surprises when the utility bill arrives. Plus, the fridge has a compact design and will easily fit into smaller kitchens.

Meanwhile, those with a big family or those who have the habit of meal prepping may need a larger refrigerator such as the LG Side By Side Fridge GSX6011NS (available on Gain City Official Store). With a huge 601 litres capacity, this refrigerator can store large quantities of ingredients for a family of five and even comes with a water dispenser for extra convenience! 

2. Pressure Cooker

If you find yourself beat from a day’s work but still desire homecooked meals, then pressure cookers are essential to have on your list of kitchen equipment in Singapore! Simple and fuss-free, this Midea 5.0L Smart Pressure Cooker (available on Midea SG Official Store) is indeed a lifesaver for those new to cooking! Pressure cookers are preferred for their shorter cooking time as it uses trapped steam for cooking. They are also multi-purpose, allowing you to cook soup, meat, baby food or simply to reheat your leftovers in a jiffy! Plus, a pressure cooker doubles as a rice cooker — that means one less appliance on your kitchen counter! The food is also believed to be healthier as the high temperature is able to better preserve the nutrients. 

3. Microwave

We can all agree that the microwave is on the list of useful kitchen equipment in Singapore. Microwaves like this Cornell 20L Microwave Oven (available on Cornell Singapore Official Store) saves you lots of time when you are in a rush and want to reheat your food in a jiffy! It’s also handy when you want to defrost your meat quickly — this does it in under just 10 minutes.  Here’s our pro tip on how to clean your microwave: squeeze lemon juice into a bowl and add half a cup of water before placing it into the microwave. Set the timer for three minutes — during this time the lemon will help to dislodge food residue. Let the solution stand for another five minutes before wiping down the inside with a clean dishcloth!

4. Electric Kettle

Pots, pans and woks are essential workhorses in your kitchen!
