If your counter has no room for a stand mixer, this cordless KitchenAid hand mixer is the next best thing. I carry it to the stove without hunting for an outlet.
KitchenAid Go Cordless Hand Mixer with Battery
Anyone who meal preps will get daily use out of this 14-cup Cuisinart. I shred a whole block of cheese or slice a pile of vegetables in one go, and the parts go in the dishwasher.

I picked Ninja's NeverStick pans when my old nonstick set started flaking. They handle a hard sear better than most coated pans I have used, and cleanup is quick.

If counter width is tight, the Keurig K-Slim tucks into narrow spots and still has a strong brew button for a bolder cup. I like it for a small apartment kitchen.
K-Slim® Single Serve Coffee Maker
A good casserole dish earns its spot in my cabinet every holiday season. I bake mac and cheese or roasted vegetables in it and carry it straight to the table.
Casseroles & Baking Dishes
The wide, shallow pot on this Instant Pot makes it easier for me to sear meat in batches before pressure cooking. It handles rice, stews and slow cooking too.
Instant Pot RIO Wide Plus 9-in-1 Cooker
For smoothie people, this Ninja blender crushes ice and frozen fruit without me stopping to stir every few seconds. The preset buttons make morning shakes basically hands off.
Ninja Professional Plus Blender 1400W BN701
I reach for the Cuisinart Griddler Five when I want paninis, pancakes or grilled chicken without dragging out three pans. The plates flip and come off for cleaning.

Breville's Barista Touch is for anyone who wants cafe drinks at home without learning every manual step. The touchscreen walks me through the grind, the shot and the milk texture.

The Dash mini waffle maker is the small appliance I gift most often. It heats up quickly, makes one personal waffle at a time, and stores in a drawer.

If your knife drawer is a mix of dull hand-me-downs, this ZWILLING Pro set is a real step up. The German steel blades feel balanced and hold an edge well with regular honing.

I use my Lodge cast iron Dutch oven for chili, braised short ribs and no-knead bread. It comes pre-seasoned, so it is ready on day one and lasts for decades.

This two-slice toaster comes in colors that match a KitchenAid stand mixer, which keeps my counter looking tidy. The wide slots take thick bread and bagels easily.
Toasters: Two Slice
Small kitchens get the most out of this compact Cuisinart, since it air fries, toasts and bakes in one footprint. My toast and wings come out evenly browned.
Cuisinart Compact Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Rachael Ray's Cucina set is a cheerful pick for a first real kitchen. I like that the pans go from stovetop into the oven, and the rubberized handles stay comfortable to grip.

I like that this Crock-Pot has a simple dial instead of a digital screen, so there is less to break. The 7-quart size fits a whole roast or a big batch of chili.
Crock-Pot 7-Quart Manual Slow Cooker
These OXO bowls have nonslip bottoms, so they stay put while I whisk with one hand. The pour spouts and handles make batter easy to move into a pan without drips.

This full-size Cuisinart air fryer oven fits a big batch of wings or a small pizza, and the grill setting lets me cook burgers indoors. I use it more than my main oven.

The Vitamix Ascent A2300 is for people who blend daily. I use the variable speed dial for smoothies, nut butter and hot soups, and the digital timer keeps results consistent.

The PossibleCooker PRO replaces my slow cooker, sear pan and Dutch oven with one pot. I brown meat in it, switch to slow cook, then serve right from the pot.
Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker PRO 8.5 Qt Multi-Cooker
Kohl's Food Network ceramic set is a budget way to get a full set of nonstick pans. Eggs slide off easily on low to medium heat with a little oil, so cleanup is quick.
Food Network™ 10-pc. Nonstick Ceramic Cookware Set
The Ninja Speedi lets me cook rice and vegetables on the bottom and crisp chicken on top in one go. On busy weeknights that means one pot to wash instead of three.
