Easter weekend is the perfect excuse to eat, bake, chill, and have a bit of fun with friends and family. And a few handy bits of tech can make the whole weekend easier and more fun. So, whether you’re cooking dinner, baking cakes, watching a movie, or even doing some at-home pampering, we’ve got you covered.
Effortless Easter roasts
Cooking an Easter roast for a group can feel like a juggling act, especially when everything needs cooking at once. That’s where extra appliances like air fryers and slow cookers come in handy.
The Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer AF500UK Air Fryer is a great help when your oven’s getting full. The drawer can be split into two or opened up into one big space. So, you can do different bits at once or throw in a full tray of veg. It also heats up quickly, which is a bit of a lifesaver when you realise something’s not quite ready.
For the main part of your Easter Sunday dinner, the Morphy Richards Sear & Stew Slow Cooker keeps things easy and stress-free. You can brown your meat straight in the pot, then leave it to cook low and slow while you get on with everything else.
And for all the chopping and slicing that somehow takes longer than expected, a food processor is just what you need. The Ninja BN800UK Food Processor is a real game-changer for your kitchen prep. With its powerful 1200W motor, blitzing veggies, cheese, or even nuts becomes a doddle. So, no more sore arms from endless chopping! The large 2.1-litre bowl means you can prep enough for the whole gang in one go. Plus, the simple one-touch controls make it easy to whip up everything from pastry to pesto.
Easter bakers assemble!
If Easter baking is on your list, you want it to feel fun rather than surprisingly stressful.
The KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer doesn’t mess about. It does all your mixing and kneading, so you’re not standing there wondering if your dough is ever going to come together. It’s especially helpful if you’re making hot cross buns or trying a couple of different Easter baking ideas. It’s also one of those KitchenAid appliances that’s stylish enough to live on the counter full time.
Create the Easter atmosphere
Once the food’s under control, everything else can feel more relaxed.
Lighting makes more of a difference than you might think. Soft outdoor lights make things feel cosier, especially when the sun starts going down. Battery or solar models like Philips Arbour Outdoor Lights are easiest, because you can put them wherever they look best.
For music, the Roberts Revival Uno BT Radio gives things a nice retro vibe. You can select your favourite DAB+ or FM stations, or stream music, podcasts, and audiobooks from your phone.
And when everyone’s eaten, and you just want to flop on the sofa, the Samsung U8000F 55" Smart 4K TV is ideal for a post-dinner film. Thanks to its 4K resolution, films and shows look razor-sharp and vibrant, so you won’t miss a single detail, even when the room’s still bathed in sunlight. It’s packed with clever tech, like HDR for punchier colours and deeper contrast. And its speedy processor means all your favourite streaming apps load in a flash.
Get party-ready
Before the Easter entertaining really kicks off, a little at-home pampering can help you feel ready without any stress.
