Small appliances
My must have small appliances that I use all the time to make my life easier.
Currently my favorite appliance, protein ice cream every night.
Ninja® CREAMi® 7-in-1 Ice Cream Maker
This one does it all, full pot, k-cups, hot water that doesn’t taste like coffee because it doesn’t go through the coffee parts, and even a frother.
Ninja® DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System Coffee & Tea Makers
This thing is a workhorse. Blends smooth for smoothies or soups, or just chop like for salsa. Downloaded their app for tons of recipes.
Ascent Series A3300 - Smart System Blenders
I’ve had my kitchenaid stand mixer a long time and still use it for almost everything. Not only is it a workhorse but it’s pretty. I used to use it several times a week but I don’t cook and bake as much as I used too.
KitchenAid Artisan 5Qt Tilt Head Mixer Aqua
If you are a bead baker this is the one! I’ve had some thick dough and triple recipe doughs and it handled it like a charm. It comes in many colors, and there are other attachments that you can add for more than a mixer.
Stand Mixer from Ankarsrum
I’ve had other bread machines that I never used but I have really used this one, it seems almost fool proof. I use it for fresh milled wheat bread also, plus it has customizable settings.
Zojirushi BB-PDC20BA Home Bakery Breadmaker
For the times you want to toss in the food and walk away until it’s ready.
Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Cooker 6Qt
Totally in love with this coffee grinder. Fresh ground beans are so much better than buying already ground. And this is a stylish affordable one tha works like a charm. I have bought several for family and friends.
Cuisinart Electric Burr Coffee Grinder DBM-8P1
Cookware and Gadgets
No stick, non-toxic cookware. I do not have a full set yet but trying to get there one piece at a time. Easy cleanup.
Best Ceramic Cookware Set | Nonstick Pots & Pans Set | Non-Toxic
This brand knives are hands down the best I have ever used. They last forever as long as you take care of them. They are expensive but if they are in your budget I highly recommend them. Great wedding gifts too.
WÜSTHOF Classic 5" Santoku Knife, Black
If you have K-cups you have to have a carousel and this one is cute and sturdy.
Nifty 35 K Cup Holder, 360° Spinner, Chrome
Pre seasoned, toxic free, heavy duty, and nice looking.
Stargazer Cast Iron
Love this little scale, has all the important features, it’s thin and has a decent size area to place items on.
Escali Pana V136 Large Kitchen Scale 13lb
Must haves for your nonstick cookware.
Zulay Kitchen 6-Piece Teak Wood Spoons
So simple to use and has the temps for all meat types printed on it.
Alpha Grillers Digital Meat Thermometer
When you’re ready to ditch the plastic baggies.
IDEATECH Reusable Silicone Food Storage Bags
Simple chip clips but I use them daily.
32 PCS Plastic Chip Clips, 2 Sizes, Kitchen
It’s the stainless steel for me. Plus I like the thinner handle on these better than the wider ones.
KEAWELL 5-Piece Stainless Steel Measuring Cups
I love the clean look and durability of the stainless steel, and these have the narrower shape that fits inside spice bottles.
Hudson Essentials Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons Set of 7
Le Creuset Soup Pot
A splurge piece, but one I use constantly. Heats evenly, looks beautiful on the stove, and is perfect for soups, stews, and one-pot meals.
Heartwarming Soups and Stews
