Laura Ashley has launched the Wild Meadow Kitchen Electrics line on Amazon, a collection of countertop appliances and kitchen storage items.
The Wild Meadow Kitchen Electrics collection includes the 1.7 Liter Cordless Electric Jug Kettle, the Stainless Steel 1.7L Dome Electric Kettle, the Stovetop Kettle, the Two-Slice Wide Slot Toaster with Warming Rack, the Four-Slice Toaster, the Three-Piece Canister Set, the Bread Bin, as well as the 3.5 Quart Slow Cooker with Glass Lid and Four Heat Settings.
In addition to the pleasant wild meadow-inspired aesthetics, the kitchen appliances also emphasize functionality. For example, the electric kettles boast rapid boiling capability, a limescale filter, a water level viewing window to minimize waste, and a 360-degree base with cord storage, while the dome version adds an external thermometer for precise temperature control.
