Cooking
We use this EVERY DAY! It cooks and reheats so quickly. We love that we can reheat leftovers and get them crispy again. I also love the feature that allows it to tip up to save counter space.
Countertop Convection Ovens | Electric Mini Ovens – Ninja® Foodi®
We call this the “magic pot”. We aren't always great at meal planning and with this, we can put frozen protein in and get amazing meals quickly. We use this weekly and love the larger size in order to make extras and freeze leftovers.
Instant Pot RIO WIDE 7.5qt 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker & Multi-Cooker
Great for quick reads of meat temperature. Recommended temps for each type of meat is on the back.
Wireless Meat Thermometers are great for use in a smoker when cooking takes a long time. Use the app to continuously monitor the temperature.
Meater Plus Wireless Meat Digital Thermometer
Foolproof perfect boiled eggs to your liking! They peel perfectly every time. Add more or less water for hard to soft boil. Use the various trays for a poached egg or omlette. I love this little appliance!
Dash 3-in-1 Everyday 7-Egg Cooker with Omelet Maker and Poaching
Dash products are a lot of fun and work well. Mini foods seem to be a hot item right now and these are fun for the kids to make.
Dash Mini Waffle Maker
Mixing
I used this daily for my add-ins to my coffee (collagen, protein, milk). My kids use this for mixing their hot chocolate in the winter. I have used this for months and still have yet to replace the batteries!
Handheld Electric Frother / Mixer / Whisk
Kitchen-Aid mixers are the gold standard. They are high quality, heavy duty and last forever. They are beautiful enough to keep out on your counter at all times.
Deluxe 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
If your mixer is used frequently and needs to be on our counter, why not make it a piece of art? I ADORE the bowl options for Kitchen-Aid mixers. So pretty and functional.
5 Quart White Gardenia Ceramic Bowl White Gardenia
This attachment solves the messy problem of sifting flour into the bowl. I don't personally own this, but it's been on my wish list to get. Great reviews!
KitchenAid® Sifter with Scale Attachment
We have had a large Ninja Bullet for almost 10 years and it's still going strong. This one seems like a more current replacement. We make smoothies and blend protein shakes. I love their power and how easy they are to use and clean up.
Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro with Auto-iQ - BN401
This hand blender and whisk is great for blending soups while cooking, whisking egg whites and many other uses. It's light and all parts are very easy to clean.
Cuisinart Quick-Prep Single-Speed Hand Blender
Cutting / Chopping
I use this multiple times a week when making beef or ground turkey. I have also used it to shred chicken.
Heat Resistant Nylon Ground Beef Smasher
These ceramic knives are great for everyday use. I love the patterns, colors and a guard for every knife.
Cuisinart® Advantage 12-pc. Ceramic-Coated Cutlery Set
Extras
We love our countertop ice maker. We use it for parties to provide smaller cubes for drinks or when our fridge ice maker can't keep up
