After T-ara member Jiyeon spotlighted a blender in her wellness routine, interest has surged in kitchen appliances that help you make restaurant-quality dishes at home. From health juices and smoothies to weekend brunch, home baking and food-waste management, smart devices that assist before and after cooking are quickly becoming kitchen essentials.
Jiyeon used Tefal’s everyday blender, the BlendUp. Designed to make healthy juices, smoothies and casual brunch dishes in a flash, it pairs a 1,000W motor with Tefal’s PowerElix six-blade system to reach up to 24,000 revolutions per minute—so ice and tough greens don’t stand a chance.
The compact, one-handed silhouette saves counter space, and eight automatic quick-menu buttons on the front make prep almost foolproof. Beyond smoothies, you can hit a button for pesto or soup. A low-noise mode keeps early-morning and late-night blending courteous to roommates, while an auto-clean cycle, removable blades and a dishwasher-safe glass jar make maintenance no-fuss.
The recently wrapped MBN series “Cheonha Baking” saw chefs Jo Seohyeong and contestant Joo Youngseok serve up a bibimbap-inspired dessert called “Jeongwol Daeboreum Bansang.” For the finale, they relied on Tefal’s high-speed Infinimix Plus Silence blender and the 3X Perfect Touch frying pan to pull it off.
The Infinimix Plus Silence is a powerhouse for both home bakers and large-batch cooks. Its 1,600W motor and PowerElix six-blade system spin up to 35,000 rpm to finely process a wide range of ingredients. Tefal’s Silence tech noticeably lowers noise—at top speed it averages under 70 dB, roughly the level of a phone ringing.
Accessories differ by color: the silver model includes a portable 660 ml Tritan mini blender, and the black model adds a 550 ml large chopper. Those extras aren’t just for baking prep—they’re handy for trimming raw meat or mincing garlic. (660 ml ≈ 22.3 fl oz; 550 ml ≈ 18.6 fl oz)
The 3X Perfect Touch frying pan boasts three times the durability of Tefal’s standard titanium coating. Its full-wide induction base reacts across the whole bottom for better heat efficiency, and Tefal’s signature heat sensor signals optimal cooking times. A pouring-rim along the edge helps you transfer sauces and finished dishes cleanly—perfect for picture-ready plating.
Coway introduced two models of its new Zero food-waste disposer (grinder type). Each uses a high-output 150°C heating system and a Coway four-blade setup to dry and grind scraps. In Quick Mode, small loads can be processed in about an hour. (150°C = 302°F)
The 2L model cuts food-waste volume by up to 96.5%, while the 3L model reaches up to 96.7%. A large activated-carbon filter system removes 99% of eight harmful gases—like hydrogen sulfide and ammonia—so odors during processing are greatly reduced. (2 L ≈ 67.6 fl oz / about 0.53 gallons; 3 L ≈ 101.4 fl oz / about 0.79 gallons)
Hygiene got equal attention. A UV-C sterilization feature in the internal flow path eliminates 99.9% of bacteria, including E. coli and salmonella. The drying chamber is manageable with a high-temperature wash, and the steam-release channel is removable for easy cleaning.
With “Safe Storage Mode,” you can stash small daily scraps for up to seven days and grind them all at once. The line ships in 2L and 3L sizes—the 2L model achieves an ultra-compact 18.9 cm width, while the 3L model expands the feed opening to 17.8 cm. (18.9 cm ≈ 7.44 in; 17.8 cm ≈ 7.01 in)
Pulmuone’s oven-style SteamCook air-fryer series blends steam with hot-air convection and includes automatic programs for steaming, frying, roasting, baking and reheating. Since the original 2021 launch, Pulmuone has refined both features and design based on user feedback.
This March’s 2026 SteamCook Prime AirFryer 15L combines hot-air and steam and even supports classic Korean dishes like rice and seasoned vegetables. It offers hot-air cooking from 40°C to 200°C and a 115°C steam setting, plus automatic programs for rice cooking, reheating instant rice and blanching greens. (40°C–200°C = 104°F–392°F; 115°C = 239°F; 15 L ≈ 507 fl oz / about 4.0 gallons)
Miele’s G7000 Redesign dishwasher series features the AutoDos 2.0 system, which dispenses detergent automatically based on soil level—so you can skip monthly detergent top-ups. Its auto-sensor program cleans with as little as 6L of water and saves up to 90% more water than hand washing. A sensor-drying feature detects interior temperature and opens the door to prevent heat damage to countertops.
For handling leftover scraps, Rinkle launched the Prime S disposer last month. Upgraded core tech—like a UL-certified film heater—stabilizes performance. The unit uses microbes tuned to Korea’s food-waste profile to boost breakdown, and its near-permanent construction aims to lower lifetime operating costs.
