My Tried-and-True Kitchen Items
17
items These are things I use on a weekly, if not daily basis in my kitchen that have made my life so much easier. I've had several of these things for many years now and I'm excited to share them with you!
I loooove this thing. It's so incredibly easy to clean and use (you can even detach the two parts of the lid to make sure you clean every nook and cranny). I use this to wash and dry all kinds of produce, not just my leafy greens—for example, I wash ...
OXO Good Grips Salad & Lettuce Spinner
Very quick and easy to peel all sorts of vegetables with this—and the potato eyer is great, too!
Swivel Peeler
My favorite coffee maker I've ever owned. Makes consistently strong coffee every time and is very simple to clean. I also reuse each paper filter for maybe a week or two, and it works fine even after several days before I add it to the compost! I don...
AeroPress
Something you might notice throughout this collection is that I love products that are easy to clean. I don't like being able to tell when there's built-up gunk or hard water deposits, so having a clear kettle like this is ideal for me! I also know a...
Glass Kettle
My newest favorite kitchen item :) It wasn't until I started using this knife that I realized how dull my previous knives were... crazy to think how many years I was using those knives! This is America's Test Kitchen's top recommended chef's knife fo...
Mercer Culinary M22608 Millennia 8" Chef Knife
This is so great (yet gentle) at cleaning stubborn stains on my countertop and removing grease from my stove top. It's very affordable and effective! And I know I've linked this product from The Home Depot, but you can grab it at Target, Walmart, etc...
The Pink Stuff
I may not be a bar keeper but this is my BEST friend when it comes to cleaning my stainless steel pans!! Can't rave about this enough.
Bar Keepers Friend
Love love love love LOVE this set so much omg. After years of buying and tossing nonstick pans that would predictably fail me after a year or two, I am so happy to share that this set has lasted me 2 years so far and still look good as new :') They c...
11-Pc Chef's Classic Stainless Cookware Set
I love this cutting board! It's big enough to fit some mise en place when I'm prepping multiple vegetables, and very quick-drying after I wash it.
Hiware XL Bamboo Cutting Board 18x12"
My go-to sponge for so many years now. It's never scratched anything I've washed, and it's so great at washing anything from dishes to glassware to countertops to sinks!
Scrub Daddy
Great at freshening up my cutting board and wooden spatulas once a month :)
Kate Naturals Food Grade Mineral Oil 8oz
I love having an electric salt & pepper mill set because (1) salt & pepper taste best when freshly ground (2) it's perfect when I have a dirty hand that's touched raw meat and don't want to keep washing my hands to reseason my ingredients
2 Pack USB Rechargeable Salt & Pepper Grinder
This processes my ingredients beautifully! I love how easy it is to take all the parts apart and clean, and it's great for purees and cake fillings.
Ninja® Professional Plus Food Processor
I can't recommend Vitamix blenders enough. It's sturdy, easy to clean, and blends everything beautifully. There was a part that needed replacing about a month ago, but we had the blender for 7+ years before that happened, and the part was really easy...

This is my new favorite toy :D I absolutely love that the cap doubles as the jigger, and the built-in strainer makes it sooo easy to make drinks. The drinks I make with this get so cold, too.
Steel Single Wall Cocktail Shaker
My favorite ice cube tray! It makes so much ice and I love the spherical shape :) Very easy to make ice in.
Round Ice Cube Tray with Lid, Bin & Tools
We love our Ninja Crispi! It's perfect for cooking/reheating so many different things without making them mushy or soggy. We use it for pizza, chicken, salmon, etc. multiple times a week.
