Braun encourages home cooks to conquer the expected tasks in the kitchen and take summer entertaining to a new level by exploring their culinary creativity.

  • Challenging Recipes: 2 in 3 adults who ever cook in the US (66%) and Canada (68%) say that they avoid selecting complex recipes that require too many tools or appliances
  • Cooking Simplified: More than 4 in 5 adults who ever cook in America (82%) and Canada (83%) agree that using one versatile kitchen tool with multiple attachments would simplify their cooking experience
  • Serve Fresh Brew with New Carafe Capabilities: If they brewed a pot of coffee and then had to leave the house for a few hours, more than half of Americans (55%) and Canadians (51%) said they would want their pot of coffee to retain its rich, flavorful taste
