Best kitchen gadgets

Start with the Our Place Wonder Oven. It's the one gadget that replaces several: air-fry, roast, broil, bake, reheat and toast in a footprint smaller than a microwave, and it's rated well by thousands of owners. Best for anyone with a small kitchen who wants one box to do the work of three.

Who the others suit:

• Ninja Crispi — if you want a compact air fryer you can move around; a refurbished one is also available.
• Ninja SLUSHi — for frozen drinks and slushies, a fun splurge rather than a daily tool.
• Ninja Luxe Cafe — for someone ready to trade counter space for real espresso and coffee.
• OXO Swivel Peeler — the cheap upgrade that makes prep noticeably easier.
• Vegetable chopper sets — for big-batch salad and stir-fry prep; the 14-piece one has the strongest ratings.
• Beautiful silicone tool set — a tidy starter set for a new kitchen.
