According to Eat This, Not That!, the insurance agency Surety First got curious about which kitchen gadgets are most prized in each state in the U.S., so they used Google Trends to find out which cooking tools were the most searched in each region. Most of the findings were conventional: Food thermometers, air fryers, and ice cube trays; but there were a few head-scratchers, too. We’re still wondering about the favorite butter churners in Louisiana, hot dog toasters in Missouri, and sous vide cookers in North Carolina. And who would have thought that residents of Alaska were on the hunt for ice cream makers above all other gadgets?
Others results on the list were less surprising, such as Washingtonians’ searches for espresso machines and Californians’ quest for this morning staple.
Californians still really love their juicers

If you are looking for the best option, however, cold press juicers are superior, according to many experts at Tech Radar. Better at extracting juice from leafy greens and berries than centrifugal machines, they work by using a hydraulic or pneumatic press to exert pressure on the food fruits or vegetables — though, they cost about $500 or more. Oh, and the second state googling juicers the most? That’s Nevada. Must be a West Coast thing.
