Best kitchen products with Amazon Alexa support 2021

The best multicooker you can get is the Instant Pot, and this smart version allows you to remotely control it from a smartphone app and by voice using Alexa and a compatible smart speaker. Control what you're cooking, receive status alerts on your phone, and access more than a thousand pre-programmed recipes.

It isn't a kitchen product, per se, but it's the perfect device to use in the kitchen for listening to music, watching videos while you cook, or even playing instructional video recipes. Use Alexa to control playback, including pausing or rewinding, so you can keep up. Since the screen has a motion sensor that follows you as you move, you can keep track of every step of the recipe as you go from chopping vegetables on the counter to throwing them into the pot on the stove, so you don't miss a beat. You can also use it to add grocery items to your list (via voice, of course) and even call friends or maybe grandma for some advice on how to get that gnocchi dough just right.

Pop popcorn for family movie night, reheat leftovers, defrost meat, or even cook items like potatoes, all by using your voice and presets with a compatible Amazon Echo device. The compact microwave has 10 levels, and new Alexa presets are being added all the time. Plus, you can automatically order popcorn when you're running low using Amazon Dash Replenishment.

Air fryers are all the rage these days, allowing you to indulge in favorite fried foods in a much healthier way — cooked with little to no oil. This particular fryer works with Alexa for voice control so you can monitor the cooking status. When not at home, you can also use the VeSync app on your mobile device to do the same and schedule cooks, and adjust the cooking time.

Virtually any device you plug into a smart plug like this one, whether it's a multicooker, fan, or coffee machine, becomes smart and can be controlled remotely from a smartphone app. This plug adds voice control, too. Use Alexa voice commands, no hub required, to turn the connected small appliance on and off or use the app when you're away.

Get ample light to meet all your cooking needs with this smart light that sits flush with the ceiling and is connected via Wi-Fi so that you can control it by voice. Made with a fire-resistant plastic shell, it offers 20 watts of brightness, is fully dimmable, and can emit light in different colors to match the mood or occasion.

Chances are your parties always move to the kitchen, so keep the ambiance going with room-filling sound provided by this smart speaker. It comes with Alexa voice control built-in, so there's no need to connect it to an Echo device. You'll get 360-degree sound with great bass and can control streaming playlists, volume, and more just with voice commands.

Take the guesswork out of cooking meat and poultry with this smart thermometer that you insert inside the food to track the internal temperature. Set target times and even receive an estimate of how long the meat or poultry needs to cook and rest to reach the desired doneness. Use the companion app to ask Alexa for updates on the cook.

Make up to 12 cups of coffee in this intelligent machine, telling it to brew, change the brew strength, or turn it off, all using your voice. Use the Alexa app to program brews for your preferred time each morning and check for new commands that might be added over time.
