The 8 most trending kitchen utensils this year 2016

It is very interesting to analyse the products that have attracted the most people throughout the year. What makes me very happy about 2016 is seeing that there is a marked trend towards the healthiest and most natural, and certainly also towards everything that is homemade. Here are the Top 8 most popular products this year:

1. Cast iron pans

Concern about eating healthily has been a trend for some time now, but we are also concerned about the utensils we cook with. Hence the resounding success of De Buyer cast iron pans : they are a fabulous option that many people have opted for this year. Cast iron pans are a very healthy option, perfect for frying, grilling and all kinds of stir-frying; they are free of non-stick coatings and other chemicals, and are designed to last a lifetime in your kitchen.

2. Vegetable spiralizer

This year we have made it clear that we want to eat healthily but also in a way that is appealing to the eye. Both the Spirelli spiraliser (also in its XL version ) and the Gefu Spiralfix have established themselves as efficient and very practical items, with which to prepare beautiful and delicious salads (green, rice, pasta...) and wok dishes without complications and in no time .

3. Chemex coffee maker

The Chemex is the queen of the slow-life that we are advocating for so much, in addition to being the coffee maker that prepares the best coffees in the world, without residues or acidity, with perfect filtration thanks to its special filters.

4. Bowls and cups Tokyo Design Studio

Tokyo Design 's beautiful designs and colours have become very popular this year as they offer superior quality at super-affordable prices. Their success has not only come from the combination of good quality at a good price, but has also been combined with a strong desire to enjoy every moment at home to the fullest: their bowls and cups make any breakfast or meal more cheerful and tables more beautiful.

Among the most highly valued designs are the Nippon Blue and Star Wave collections as fresher and younger options, and the Fleur de Ligne line as a more elegant option.

5. Ovens for making bread at home

I'm sure you haven't missed the fact that making bread at home is all the rage. And it's an absolutely delicious trend, one that I hope will last forever. Making your own bread not only ensures that you know what ingredients you use, but it's also a real pleasure: it more than makes up for the small effort it takes. Plus, the pleasure of eating your own bread is unmatched. That's why this year's list of Top 10 includes Emile Henry ceramic bread ovens : they generate humidity conditions inside that guarantee a crispy crust and a fluffy crumb. They're a real marvel!

6. Pans for the fire and the oven

Both the Le Creuset Skillet cast iron pan and the Bra Infinity non-stick pan have been highlighted this year because, unlike other conventional pans, they can be put in the oven. This feature allows you to cook normally on the stove and finish cooking with a gratin or browning in the oven in no time. Prepare sweet recipes such as a tarte tatin, or prepare complete oven-baked recipes in a nice pan, which you will then serve directly to the table.

7. Bundt molds

American baking has brought with it something that we are fans of, the bundt pan . With them you can make beautiful cakes without any effort other than pouring your recipes into them instead of the traditional pan, and the result is really pretty. Nordic Ware is said to have the best bundt pans in the world and without a doubt their fame has spread, making these pans now in the homes of almost all of us who love sweet recipes.

8. Pallarès knives

Another trend that stands out this year is artisanal products. Pallarès iron knives have been one of the most obvious examples of this, as their fame has not only spread throughout the country but has crossed borders and is now an icon in much of Europe, the United States, Canada, New Zealand and many other countries around the world. Their success? The combination of excellent cutting with a beautiful appearance thanks to their boxwood handle, and a price that is more than accessible to all pockets (even more so if you know that it will last a lifetime in your kitchen drawer).
