Hosting during big-game season usually sounds fun… until your oven’s booked, the snacks all need to be ready at the same time and your kitchen turns into a traffic jam.

That’s where small kitchen appliances come in. The right setup can help you save time, free up counter space and actually enjoy the game instead of spending the entire night managing food.

As a one-stop destination for the latest and greatest tech, Best Buy Canada carries a range of small kitchen appliances designed to make hosting way easier, whether you’re planning ahead or pulling something together last minute.

From countertop ovens to blenders and pressure cookers, these are the kinds of tools that can help level up your watch party without overcomplicating things.

When your main oven is already full or you’re trying to keep everything warm at once, a countertop convection oven makes hosting way easier. The Breville Smart Oven Pro Convection Toaster Oven gives you extra cooking space without the shuffle, so you can bake, roast or reheat game-day snacks while everything else stays on track.
