A comfortable home office is not about filling the room with more equipment. The chair, desk and lighting should support the way you work for hours at a time.

One-pot rice meals, porridge, steaming and keep-warm functions can turn a familiar rice cooker into a much more useful part of dinner.

Crisp edges, browned surfaces and smaller portions are where an air fryer really earns its place, especially when dinner does not need the full oven.
