Top 30 Kitchen Trends in May

From Starch-Reducing Rice Cookers to Smart-Designed Air Fryers

— May 28, 2023 — Art & Design
From rice cookers that can prepare up to eight cups of cooked rice to air fryers that can ferment yogurt, the May 2023 kitchen trends demonstrate that our kitchen appliances are only getting smarter.

While a rice cooker is a staple in many people's kitchens, Aroma SmartCarb Multicooker can do so much more. Not only can the device cook several servings of rice, but it can also prepare porridge, soups, and other types of grains as well. But perhaps the smartest feature is the unique feature that removes 30% of the starch and sugars in rice to achieve a lighter, fluffier texture.

But it's not just rice cookers getting a high-tech upgrade, other products highlighted among the May 2023 kitchen trends include Xiaomi's new MIJIA Smart Air Fryer, Cuisinart's four-in-one Coffee Center Barista Bar, and Cuisinart's automated Convection Bread Maker all prove that kitchen technology continues to advance in a way that is helping consumers save time on meal prep and prepare more high-quality meals at home.
