I love cheap kitchen appliances and I've found 12 must-haves in Amazon's Big Smile Sale for under AU$100

I've lost track of how much money I've spent on my kitchen in the last decade or so. You see, I have a thing for affordable cooking tech, all so I can experiment. More often than not, I might have used an item once only, then it's forgotten in a drawer.

Nonetheless, I still keep hunting them down and I've listed 12 of my finds from Amazon's ongoing Big Smile Sale.

The most expensive item I have is AU$100 after discount, but everything else is under AU$100. I've also made sure they're all branded products, tried and tested by either myself or hundreds (if not thousands) of users who've reviewed the items on Amazon.

My picks include an air fryer that's down to just AU$99, as well as a food steamer. There's an egg cooker, hand mixer, smoothie maker, meat thermometer and so much more!

Love a good sandwich? I've got you covered. Want waffles? Yup, there's an iron listed below. Heck, you don't even need to spend hundreds on a Ninja Creami — there's a compact ice-cream maker on this page that takes up a lot less space and costs a fraction too.

There's something here for everyone — and trust me when I say affordable kitchen tech can absolutely help you cook up a storm, whether for yourself or for friends and family.
