description: A stand mixer is a great investment if you love baking and bread-making. Read our reviews of top brands, including KitchenAid and Kenwood, plus more affordable buys
encoded: Whatever you like to bake, there’s no denying that the humble stand mixer is the hardest working piece of kit in the kitchen. Not just reserved for whipping up cake batter, it can also be used to knead dough and whisk together glossy, stiff-peaked meringues. Don’t be mistaken – I love hand mixers and have tried and tested many fantastic models over the years, but stand mixers offer something different: power. Equipped with high wattages, they can whizz through creaming and kneading tasks with absolute ease, not only saving you time, but effort, too. As an avid baker and expert product tester, I've put a range of stand mixers to the test, from models from big-name brands such as KitchenAid and Kenwood, to household names like Bosch, Cuisinart and Morphy Richards. Read on for my top recommendations, and don't forget to check out our guides to the best cake tins and best kitchen scales, too. The latest additions were tested by Annie Collyer.

description: Can a machine make your life (and loaf) easier? We test a range of models from Panasonic, Tefal, Lakeland and many more to find the best breadmaker for you
encoded: We’re no strangers to the traditional art of breadmaking – kneading, proving and shaping dough by hand can be immensely satisfying – but the best breadmakers have also made us rethink our approach. These machines take care of the entire process, from kneading to baking, leaving you with well risen, golden loaves with minimal effort. After just a few minutes of prep, you can sit back and let the magic happen, no hands required. Most breadmakers operate in a similar way: simply add the basic ingredients – flour, water, yeast – along with any extras, into the bread pan in the correct order. Many models allow you to select the loaf size and crust colour, to your preference. You’re not limited to basic white loaves, either. From creative recipes like asparagus, sundried tomato & olive loaf to stout & apple wheaten bread, these machines are versatile enough to accommodate a variety of bread-styles and mix ins. Some even go beyond bread, offering settings for jam, yogurt and doughs for recipes like this filled brioche centrepiece with baked camembert. Our top picks excelled in rigorous testing to earn their place in this guide. Read on to discover the best breadmakers you can buy right now.

description: A mini chopper can chop, mince, purée, mix and blend in seconds. It's a smaller, cheaper alternative to a food processor. Read our expert reviews to find the best one for your kitchen.
encoded: When it comes to blitzing breadcrumbs, making flavourful and fragrant curry pastes, marinades and pesto, or whizzing up herby dishes like spring tabbouleh, mini choppers are an indispensable kitchen gadget that can make light work of time-consuming food prep tasks. Designed to deal with smaller quantities, mini choppers are a compact and lightweight alternative to a food processor. They typically come with just one blade for everyday chopping tasks, whereas food processors can come with different attachments for different jobs.

encoded: We are living in the age of convenience, so we're always on the lookout for ways to make food shopping easier. How much simpler can shopping for high-quality meat get than a delivery box straight to your door?

We have tested meat boxes from the likes of organic farms such as Abel & Cole to high-end suppliers including HG Walter, with all meat boxes coming straight from farm to table.

encoded: Is there anything more festive than gingerbread? It can take many forms – gingerbread cookies, gingerbread people, a gingerbread wreath or even a chocolate gingerbread advent calendar – but a decorated gingerbread house is a real spectacle. Baked gingerbread walls are ‘glued’ together with icing, then the house is abundantly decorated with colourful treats, making every component of the structure edible. When it comes to the flavours of winter, aromatic cinnamon and ginger are always warm and comforting. With the help of a gingerbread house kit, you can create a Christmas centrepiece in your own kitchen. Our favourite kits, below, include a range of ready-to-assemble gingerbread houses, made from pre-baked components accompanied by icing and sweet treats for decoration. There are also some sets that require baking, as well as an alternative offering for those who aren’t fans of gingerbread. We’ve found a gluten-free option, too, so no one misses out on the festivities! There are supermarket gingerbread house options from M&S starting at just £7, plus more elaborate ideas from Honeywell Biscuit Co to stretch your skills. If you’re starting from scratch, Good Food’s Lulu Grimes can walk you through how to make gingerbread and offer her top tips for cutting, shaping and decorating the dough.

Plug in a processor for the speedy way to prep, every time. Not only do our favourite food processors slice, dice, blend and chop to perfection, but they also make grating, grinding and even dough making a breeze. Safety features ensure there's no need to sacrifice your fingertips in the process. As you whizz through ingredients for your favourite dishes at record speed, you'll wonder how you ever managed without one.

Ninja Slushi frozen drinks maker – first-look review

creator: Lydia Anderson
subject: Review
description: Is the Ninja Slushi worth it? We tested frappes, frosé, juices and more to see if this frozen drink machine lives up to the hype.
encoded: If there’s one thing Ninja knows how to do, it’s take everyday kitchen kit and make it exciting. From its innovative air fryers to its oh-so brilliant ice cream makers, the brand has built a reputation for gadgets that promise fun as well as function. Its latest launch, the Ninja Slushi FS301UK, pushes that formula into new territory. This is a machine that can turn lemonade into a perfect icy slush in minutes, churn out creamy frappes for iced coffee fiends and keep frozen margaritas flowing at your next party. Available from Amazon (£224), Very (£224), John Lewis & Partners (£224), Ninja (£249.99), Currys (£224), Argos (£249.99) That’s the promise here – all without the need for ice cubes or fiddly pre-freezing bowls. At around £349 this isn’t a casual purchase and it takes up a fair bit of counter space, but it’s certainly one of the most intriguing appliances Ninja has released. Read on to find out if it lives up to the hype. Unboxing the Ninja Slushi We were thrilled to see all recyclable packaging surrounding the Ninja Slushi when we unboxed it. But this is a hefty piece of kit: it weighs around 11kg and is 43cm tall, so this isn’t really something to move to and from a cupboard when you want to use it. Inside the box you’ll find the following alongside the base: A 2.5L vessel (1.9L max capacity) Stirring auger Dispensing handle and tap Recipe guide Drip tray The assembly is very straightforward: simply insert the auger, attach the vessel to the refrigerated base and clip on the drip tray and tap. Despite its plastic shell, the Slushi feels well-made and robust. One key thing to remember, the base unit needs to sit upright for around half a day before first use (much like other compressor appliances) to let the fluids settle. Ninja Slushi: design, features and use The Ninja Slushi doesn’t use blades or ice. Instead, liquids freeze directly on the refrigerated metal cylinder in the centre of the machine and the auger scrapes and stirs, producing smooth ice crys…

encoded: Whether you’re constantly cooking tasty treats or you only bake occasionally, a good quality cake tin is a kitchen essential. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, but are endlessly versatile – they can be used to bake cakes (of course), as well as sweet and savoury breads, cheesecakes or even used as moulds. Baking is a real science. If you have a good recipe, follow it to the letter, including using the correct tin, and success is guaranteed. Read our guide to successful cakes for some tips to help you master the essentials. Then hop over to our guide to classic cakes for a fantastic breakdown of how to bake the perfect traditional Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle cake and much more. As well as cake tins, you’ll need a couple of extra pieces of kit to get you going. Although not an essential, a stand mixer really will make mixing, whipping and folding a lot easier. If you're a traditionalist or short on space, a hand mixer is a great alternative. To ensure absolute precision you’ll need measuring spoons and kitchen scales. You’ll also need a mixing bowl and spatula to get every last drop of cake batter into your tin – no wastage here!

description: Discover our top slow cookers, plus recipes and practical cookery advice. We tested leading brands including Morphy Richards, Ninja and Crock Pot
encoded: It's no wonder slow cookers are a much-loved piece of equipment in the kitchen; who doesn't love the aroma of coming home to dinner, cooked and ready to serve? Yet, this is only one of the many benefits of using one. The cost of a standalone slow cooker is moderate and a multi-cooker with a slow cooker function may cost more, but you are also buying several functions. After your initial investment, though, the running costs compared to conventional ovens make either of these super-economical to run. Slow cooking means you can make the most of cheaper cuts of meat and budget-priced ingredients such as beans, lentils and root vegetables. A slow cooker also helps retain all the goodness in the food cooked, making foods healthier whilst delivering the maximum flavours often lost in faster cooking methods. Slow cookers are easy to use, with just a few settings, though some have convenient additions such as searing, steaming or keeping warm, which is handy for latecomers. This guide was brought to you by Cook Smart, a campaign designed by Good Food experts to help you save money and reduce food waste. Dive into more Cook Smart content in our budget hub. Slow cooker recipes are hugely popular and can be used to cook a range of delicious stews, casseroles, soups and curries, as well as less obvious dishes such as yogurt, grains, dhal and puddings. Read on to learn more about the different kinds of slow cookers on the market. The latest additions were tested and reviewed by Gabrielle Sander.
