1. The freezer or fridge-freezer combination

When it's hot, it's imperative to keep food fresher for longer.


A high-performance refrigerator with a freezer section will allow you to store:

  • Homemade ice creams or sorbets

  • Fruits for smoothies

  • Unlimited ice cubes for your drinks


Tip: Choose a model with a quick-freeze function or integrated ice dispenser for added convenience.


2. The ice cream maker: the freshness ally

For those with a sweet tooth and lovers of homemade desserts, an ice cream maker is a summer must-have.


It allows you to achieve:

  • Creamy vanilla or chocolate ice creams

  • Seasonal fruit sorbets (strawberries, mangoes, lemon, etc.)

  • Vegan or lactose-free ice creams


A compact and easy-to-clean model is ideal for regular use.


3. The blender or mixer

Essential for vitamin-packed smoothies, gazpachos, cold soups, or even homemade cocktails, choose a powerful blender capable of blending ice cubes or frozen fruit.


To try this summer:

  • Watermelon-Mint Smoothie

  • Banana Milkshake

  • Andalusian gazpacho


4. The table grill or electric barbecue

If you're short on outdoor space or charcoal grilling isn't an option, an electric grill is perfect for cooking:

  • Vegetable skewers

  • Fish fillets

  • Smokeless grilled meats


Some compact models are even suitable for use on a balcony.


5. The high-performance hood

In summer, it's essential to limit heat and odors in the kitchen. A quiet and efficient hood allows you to cook in a cool environment, especially if you regularly prepare hot dishes or grill indoors.


6. Small useful accessories

Don't forget these little essentials that make the difference:

  • Filter carafe for fresh, pure water

  • Table fan to stay cool while preparing meals

  • Ice maker for large receptions

  • Electric citrus juicer for fresh juices anytime
