'Tis the season to enjoy tasty frozen treats, and this wildly popular appliance will satiate your sweet tooth between trips to the ice cream truck. You can make everything from ice cream and sorbet to milkshakes and more with it: just add your ingredients, freeze it overnight, press a button and ta-da! Plus, you can customize your creation with your favorite mix-ins. This is about as low as I've seen it for sale.
"I'm dairy-free and finding a delicious dairy-free ice cream has been extremely difficult for me," explains one (now) satisfied scooper. "Now I can make my favorite flavors dairy-free at home! It's super easy to use [and] cleans easily...my only complaint is it sounds like an airplane, it's so loud."

Le Creuset who? I cook at home with Lodge Dutch ovens, and this one is just the right size for a smaller household. The smooth enamel interior cleans like a dream, while the sturdy cast iron provides excellent heat distribution and retention. Plus, it's so beautiful that you won't mind leaving it on the stove for everyone to admire.
"Don't tell my KitchenAid mixer, but I think I like this better," one reviewer joked. "I'm Greek and I cook a lot. I've used this for everything from pasta dishes like manestra to frying keftedes (meatballs) - [I've] even used [it] baking bread! It's a great item for one-pot meals. Although it gets quite hot because it is cast iron, the enamel makes extinguishing and cleaning a breeze. I mainly use silicone and wooden utensils, but even with metal utensils I haven't had any chips. ... Lodge is a great brand for those of us who can't quite afford Le Creuset."

Multifunctional appliances are a godsend for small kitchens, and this dual-use machine is no exception. It is spacious enough for six slices of bread, a 12.5 kilo chicken or a 30 cm pizza and can also be used for baking cakes and brownies. The sleek stainless steel design is just a bonus.
"Instead of heating up the oven, this allows us to easily prepare dinner or lunch," one reviewer wrote. "Makes delicious fried chicken and crispy veggies... Great for reheating pizza instead of microwaving because it's not mushy (same goes for chips!)."
