Cooking rarely results in the creation of one thing. At the very least, no matter the meal, a drink will be needed to wash it down. For example, a margarita to go with that fresh salsa.

Nobody wants to wrestle with countertop appliances when trying to forge an enjoyable meal, and one way to avoid the hassle is to work with gear that adjusts to your needs. The DeLonghi DFP250 Food Processor And Blender combines two of the most often-used appliances by offering interchangeable work vessels that attach to one common base.

In use, the machine offers a wide range … Read more

Versatile gadgetry is always welcome in the kitchen. Much like the act of cooking itself, the addition and subtraction of elements often creates a final product that is more than the sum of its parts.

Considering that we usually end up eating the creations that come out of the kitchen, it is probably best to pay attention to everything that goes in it--including the tools.

The DeLonghi DHB900 Triblade Professional Hand Blender is an all-in-one solution for many basic prepping needs. The versatility of the hand blender is expanded through the inclusion of attachments. In addition to a standard hand … Read more

Modern life demands a certain amount of decision-making. Yet, however meaningless a decision may seem at first, they all have their consequences. Take, for instance, the first major decision of the day: the coffee consideration. Certainly there is a fair amount of cruising by on autopilot during the dawn hours, but what if breaking out of the mold of the routine was as easy as pressing another button?

For many, the ability to start out the day with either espresso or drip coffee simply isn't an option. It may not be easy to alter one's routine--especially the morning … Read more

It is not uncommon for kitchen appliances that do one thing well to do another, similar thing just as well. Often that secondary functionality becomes your primary use for the product (think grinding spices in a coffee grinder).

You may not think it makes any sense to use a blender as a scale, but that's exactly what DeLonghi has done--incorporate a scale into a food processor. The DFP950 12-Cup Food Processor combines two similar kitchen gadgets with a third--not altogether unlikely--kitchen essential. Featuring a tare function, you can add exactly the amount of ingredients you need directly in your … Read more

It's only natural that as the seasons change, our eating habits change along with the weather. Ice cream, fresh veggies, and grilled everything dominate the summer landscape, giving way to hearty soups and stews when winter approaches. But it is not only seasonal foods and warm weather favorites that fall by the wayside as we start to feel the chill in our bones. No, there is another beast that disappears as time marches on: the state fair. And that means we lose fried everything. While everything from cola to butter has been seen to be battered and deep fried … Read more

Versatility is a key ingredient in the home kitchen. There is only so much room to store so many appliances. Whether they get stashed in a cupboard, in the back of the pantry, or even right out on the counter, there never seems to be enough room to keep them all. When it comes time to clear out the cupboards and make room for new stuff, the choice becomes clear which ones must stay and which must go; and when it comes to appliances, usually the more it can do the better.

The DeLonghi Triblade Immersion Blender combines versatility and … Read more

An economy of motion in the morning is a survival technique many coffee drinkers innately understand. As we find our way to the kitchen, there is no time for any wasted movements; to do so would just increase the time it takes to get to the magic elixir. If it so happens that the timer on the coffeemaker was not set the previous night, this efficiency becomes paramount as we stumble through the motions of producing a pot of coffee.

Making it easy to get to the important parts, the DeLonghi DCF2210TTC 10-cup thermal carafe drip coffeemaker provides a way … Read more

Toasted breads, and associated goodies like toaster pastries, waffles ,and other treats, are deceptively simple breakfast foods. It doesn't take much to send morning schedules careening off track, and having a bite to eat is the cornerstone that gives us the energy to get through the day (or at least out the door). As the most important meal of the day, breakfast meant to be hot should never be served cold.

Hectic mornings often scatter attention, but with an 8-second toast drop, the DeLonghi DTT720 2-Slice Toaster can at least help keep hot breakfasts on schedule. The stylish brushed-metal … Read more

Coffee drinkers know what they like. Walk into any coffee shop for a demonstration. As the line moves forward, patrons order their favorite beverages with more precision than that of a fine steak. Rare, medium, and well done are the basic gradations for steak; but when it comes to coffee, numbers come into play. In the past, one lump or two was suffice enough to determine coffee preferences. But in today's world, a dozen different sweeteners and creamers are available--not to mention temperature-specific preferences. As diverse as the world of coffee (and caffeine in general) has become, there is … Read more
