kitchen appliance

Countertop cooking device

A kitchen appliance is a device used for food preparation, cooking, or storage in a kitchen.

The term typically refers to electrical machines—toasters, blenders, microwaves, refrigerators—though some non-electric tools like manual can openers qualify.

Small appliances sit on countertops; major appliances like stoves and dishwashers are built in or freestanding.
