CRUXGG Kitchen Appliances for the Modern Chef

CRUXGG kitchen appliances and cookware are the result of an exciting collaboration between NYC-based kitchenware brand CRUX and Ghetto Gastro, a Bronx-based culinary collective that uses food to empower underserved communities. The pieces in this collection are inspired by the global culture of the Big Apple and will look right at home in the modern kitchen.

The Options

From a sleek coffee maker to a double rotation waffle iron, you'll find everything you need in this collection of design-forward kitchen essentials. All of the CRUXGG kitchen appliances feature the company's signature sleek black finish with red highlights that offer an unexpected pop of color. The products are designed to be lightweight and easy to store, making them ideal for smaller kitchens. Read on for the details on all of the CRUXGG kitchen appliances available through Williams Sonoma.

• The CRUXGG BRED is an all-purpose bread maker with 15 preset programs, three crust color options and two loaf sizes. This impressive appliance is not just for bread; it can be used to make jam, dough and cakes as well. The express cycle option can bake a loaf of bread in under two hours, and the 60-minute keep warm setting ensures that the bread is nice and toasty when you're ready to dig in.
• The CRUXGG TRNR is a double rotation waffle iron capable of making up to eight restaurant-style Belgian waffles in just ten minutes. The double-sided design allows you to make two Belgian waffles (1" thick and 7"inches in diameter) at a time. It comes with a batter measuring cup and cleaning brush.
• The CRUXGG NEFI is an air frying toaster oven and so much more. This versatile device offers ten cooking functions in one convenient countertop device. The NEFI can toast up to six slices of bread, a 12" pizza, a 5-lb roast, or an 8" x 12" casserole. If you already have a toaster oven but want to add air frying capability to your kitchen, consider the CRUXGG MUSA AirPro, which is a combination air fryer and pressure cooker. The MUSA can also be used for roasting, steaming, dehydrating and slow cooking.
• The CRUXGG SATA is a two-slice toaster with extra-wide, self-centering slots that can hold bagels and thick slices of bread. Six shade settings and a reheat function ensure that you get your desired level of browning each time. The high-lift lever makes it easy to grab smaller items without risking burned fingers.
• The CRUXGG DRIP is a 14-cup programmable coffee maker that would make a sleek addition to any countertop. The DRIP features three coffee strength settings, so you can choose how to start your morning - with a regular, gourmet, or bold cup.
• The CRUXGG KING is a commercial-quality, 3.5 peak horsepower blender that easily crushes ice and fresh or frozen fruits and beverages. With ten speeds and four preprogrammed-settings, this powerful blender's stainless steel blades quickly whips up smoothies and is even powerful enough to liquify nuts and turn grains into flour.

Wrap it Up

Any of the CRUXGG kitchen appliances would be a welcome gift for newlyweds or anyone setting up a home for the first time. To add a little fun and personality to your gift, consider pairing it with a complementary item or two. A couple of tasty jams or syrups would pair nicely with the waffle maker, and some gourmet coffee beans would be a thoughtful accompaniment to the coffeemaker.
