We’re all about making life easier here at Luxe Bible which is why we love a kitchen gadget that not only gets the job done, but also looks the business in your beautiful kitchen! Here’s just some of the items we’re going gaga for this year.
KitchenAid Hibiscus Artisan 4.7L Mixer
This mixer is the daddy of all mixers and an absolute beaut of an addition to any kitchen worktop! The KitchenAid Hibiscus Artisan 4.7L Mixer in eye-catching fuchsia pink is a true powerhouse when it comes to mixing and baking and totally lives up to the hype and reputation of KitchenAid’s iconic mixers.
With a generous seven accessories included (and the option to purchase more for specialist cooking!), you get a 4.7l stainless steel bowl complete with ergonomic handle, plus a handy 3l bowl which makes whipping up batches of biscuits, cakes or brownies a breeze when you have another bowl for frosting or glazing – who doesn’t love a bit of multi-tasking?!
Then there’s the ‘planetary mixing action’ – which unlike other mixers means the attachments spin in one direction while the mixer head goes the other way so you get a perfect mix every time. The 10 speed setting turns slow stir to whip in seconds, while the tilt-head design makes switching attachments super easy and along with the pouring shield, means you have space to get those ingredients in without spilling half of them across your kitchen!
Built to last, there’s nothing flimsy about the KitchenAid mixer with a design that’s been perfected over 100 years. Made from solid die-cast metal, it feels incredibly sturdy, and both the knobs and bowls are crafted from stainless steel that resists stains and scratches. Meanwhile, there’s a multipurpose attachment hub on the front so you can plug in optional extras (how cool?!), whether you’re making homemade pasta, noodles or even freshly ground flour. KitchenAid’s 5-year guarantee and 15-year repair promise.
Whether you’re beating, whisking or kneading, the KitchenAid Artisan mixer is the way to go. Currently reduced to £524.25 on the KitchenAid website.
Microplane Black Sheep Truffle Tool 2-in-1 Slicer and Grater
Who knew a grater could be so sexy?! It’s the kitchen accessory you never knew you needed and now you have, you don’t know what you ever did without it! Yes the name implies it’s for grating razor thin slices of luxurious tasting truffle, but this nifty little all black slicer-slash-grater can be used for all your grating needs.
It features a razor sharp adjustable blade for paper-thin precision whatever you’re cutting. For parmesan, it’s a dream, but you can also use it for mushroom, strawberries… radishes… whatever you like!
Adjusting the slicing thickness couldn’t be easier – with a simple knob turn it’s done, while you can also flip to the grater side where the fine photo-etched blade will deliver flawless grating, while preserving the aromas of spices, garlic and cheese. In stainless steel black, with a chic elegant walnut handle and featuring a non-slip rubber foot, graters really don’t come finer than this!
Winner of the 2022 Red Dot Product Design Award, this Black Sheep tool is a total standout. Whether you’re prepping a meal or garnishing a finished dish, it’s the ultimate blend of elegance and efficiency—highly recommended for any food lover!
Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener
The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener is a total game-changer for any home chef who loves a sharp, precise edge. Unlike other sharpeners that just touch up the outer edge, the Tormek T-1 hones the entire bevel of the knife, delivering a professional-level sharpness that you’ll have only ever experienced from a high-end chef’s knife.
Tormek has poured their years of expertise into this model, adapting their technology from professional kitchens (yes, even the Swedish Culinary Team uses their sharpeners!). But, while it’s advanced, it’s still straightforward to use thanks to the patented angle guide, which accommodates knives of various sizes and even removes easily for cleavers or taller blades. The fine-grained diamond grinding wheel works on all types of steel—even ceramic!—and with minimal wear, so knives stay sharp longer.
It’s also made to last. The T-1 has an eight-year warranty and a sleek, compact design that fits right on the countertop. This is guaranteed to become your favourite kitchen gadget after first use! £330, check out all the details here.
