18
items You can save a lot of time, money and calories if you cook at home. These are the best kitchen tools and small appliances for home chefs. These are the tools I use to keep my family fed (and happy)!
I have just started replacing my pots and pans with the Hexclad pots and pans. This is the best cookware I've ever used! They're easy to cook with and - most importantly - easy to clean. You can use metal tools and they won't scratch. I highly recomm...

The Magic Bullet reviews on Amazon are so high for a reason. This is the best little blender to have on hand for the small stuff! It's my favorite blender to pull out when I need to:
- grind coffee
- mix a protein shake
- make salad dressing
- grind whole peppercorns

When I have a little blending job, the Magic Bullet does the trick. But when I need a bigger job, and I need something to be extremely smooth, the Vitamix Blender is the best blender to use. I've had my Vitamix since 2012, and it still blends perfect...

Air Fryer + Convection Toaster Oven and it's one of the best kitchen tools for home chefs. Why heat up the big oven when you just a little of something? Here are just a few things I make in it:
- toast
- bagels
- pizza
- vegetables
- potatoes
Plus, we use it to warm up leftovers, which makes them taste better than the microwave.

I have the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker (6 qt). I bought it in 2016, and it's still going strong. This is a tool I can not live without! Not only does it make the best rice, but you can make entire meals in it. It makes cooking (an...

Instant Vortex Plus 6QT XL Air Fryer and this is another kitchen tool I can no longer live without. It makes your food crispy without added oil. I can also make potatoes, veggies, chicken, fish, and pizza in it.

When I take out my Wusthof knives set, I feel like a professional cook. If there's one thing a kitchen needs, it's a good set of knives. And Wusthof are some of the best! They are sturdy and can cut through delicate veggies and thick cuts of beef.

These OXO tongs are the best. I have four of them, and I use them ALL (daily)!

This stainless steel paper towel holder is the BEST! My husband said it might be the best thing I ever bought. (I'm not even kidding!)
The holder suctions right onto your countertop and is very sturdy.
The paper towels stay completely in place without any unraveling.

This little hand mixer comes in handy when I need to mix something right in the bowl. It's perfect for making your own whipped cream. (Which is really easy to do!)

I love this Ozeri food scale. It's inexpensive, and it's lasted forever!
I mainly use it to help me count calories. I know exactly how much I can eat. When we eyeball it, we generally add more than we need. (Because we WANT to eat more. lol)
But I also use it when I need to measure out the exact amount of pasta, flour, sugar, or any other ingredient I need for a meal.
It is handy!

Why buy an electric can opener that takes up room on the counter when this OXO handheld one works just as well?
I have had mine for many, many years (at least 10, but probably more), and it still works perfectly.
And when I'm done with it, I just chuck it in the drawer. Why add extra clutter on the countertop if you don't need to?

I don't think I would survive life without my Kuerig coffee maker. What I love about the Kuerig is that everyone can have exactly what they want. I like caffeinated coffee, but my mother-in-law likes decaf. We're both happy!

OK, you got me. This isn't a kitchen tool, but these go with the MOST important small kitchen appliance in my kitchen!
The Dunkin Donuts 72 pack k-cups is what I get for my Kuerig. Yeah, I'm a simple person, but Dunkin is perfect for me!
And you gotta get the big ol' pack so you don't run out of coffee!

I love this waffle iron because it turns the waffle over so you get even cooking on all sides. There's nothing better than a hot, steaming waffle right out of the iron. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with a dab of butter and real maple syr...
