These are my real-deal, ride-or-die kitchen essentials - the gadgets and tools I actually own, use all the time, and seriously can’t imagine cooking without. If it's on this list, it’s because it has earned a permenent spot on my counter (or crammed ...
The best birthday present my husband ever got me. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
KitchenAid Artisan 5 Qt Tilt Head Mixer
I have multiple attachments for my mixer but this is hands down the one I use the most. I like to shred my own cheese because it melts so much better and this makes it a whole lot easier!
KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder, 1, White
I use this just about every day (my youngest and I love avocado toast)! One part cuts the avocado in half, one part easily removes the pit and the last part slices the avocado neatly. (It's dishwasher safe too)
OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer - Green
I can't start my day without coffee and love my Ninja Coffee Maker. I love that I can make a couple cups if it's just me or a large pot when I have people over. You can use it to make iced coffee too!
Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker, 6 Brew Styles
My husband and oldest daughter are tea drinkers and this is the tea kettle they love most!
Chefman Electric Kettle
Works like a charm! The defrost button works great for when we're pulling a new bag of bagels out of the freezer and don't want to wait for them to thaw!
Cuisinart 4-Slice Compact Stainless Steel Toaster
Love that I don't need a separate food processor and blender and the smoothie cups are an added bonus!
Ninja Mega Kitchen System Blender & Food Processor
I love this for when I need a lot of hard boiled eggs for deviled eggs, egg salad or Easter egg decorating.
Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Electric Egg Cooker
This is what I use when I only need a couple eggs. Just pop it in the pan with the eggs and you can see when your eggs are soft boiled, medium or hard boiled.
Egg Timer for Hard & Soft Boiled Eggs
Love this teapot because everyone in my house drinks tea and it's a great size.
Glass Teapot with Infuser
We put this on our wedding registry 25 years ago and have been using it ever since (though we use it so much we had to buy a replacement a few years back).
MISTO Brushed Aluminum Oil Sprayer
If you make anything with jalapenos, this makes removing the seeds SO much easier!
Zulay Kitchen Jalapeno Corer & Seed Remover
Makes it so much easier to get the perfect size pancakes (great for making cupcakes too)
Pancake Batter Dispenser
Love these for making my individual pot pies but they're perfect for making creme brulee too!
