Countertop cooking tools

Kitchen appliances are devices used in food preparation, cooking, and storage.

The term covers both major appliances—refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers—and small countertop devices like toasters, blenders, and coffee makers.

We registered for kitchen appliances before the wedding.

The line between appliance and tool is fuzzy; a knife isn't an appliance, but an electric knife might be.
