For the Love of Cooking
16
items The essentials or tools that I love using in the kitchen as someone who enjoys making new meals.
We swapped to these pans and they are SO nice. They cook well, easy to clean, everything that you want in pots and pans.
Ceramic Cookware
We had just the dry mats and then we upgraded to the rack to help with organization… life changer. It not only helped with organization, but it feels like putting them away takes such less time now.
Dish Drying Rack
These are GREAT for meal prepping, or just storing leftovers. They can be reheated in the Tupperware, there's no toxic plastics, they are dishwasher safe. Highly recommend.
24-Piece Glass Food Storage
We went without this for too long - it is such a peace of mind giver! I use it any time I cook meat now, just to be safe.
Meat Thermometer
This is such a time saver - we LOVE it. It's not too hard to clean and is totally worth it, especially for extravagant or just larger meals.
16-in-1 Vegetable Chopper
This is another tool that we went way too long without. This is incredibly nice to have, especially if you're cooking a lot of ground meat.
Meat Chopper
This was given to us as a gift, and it is super nice for tacos, pulled pork/chicken, etc.
Chicken Shredder
We break this out every holiday or time that we have people over and it is the BEST! Keeps everyone's food warm while other dishes finish up, or keeps dips warm during apps. Highly recommend (it's especially handy at Thanksgiving).
Warming Mat for Food
I LOVE this board - it makes the kitchen look so sleek and cozy. We store our salt/pepper on top, and it's super easy to move around when we use it. We have an electric stovetop so we just make sure it's fully cool before covering up the stove for th...
Board Stove Cover
I usually come home and make dinner straight away either in gym clothes or work clothes, and these are “clothes-savors!” (Get it?). They are also super cute and I love wearing them when people come over - it just sets the mood.
Adjustable Bib Apron with Pockets
This has been a super fun gadget, and it makes DELICIOUS food. Hubby loves to use it, and as a very novice griller, I find it super easy to use.
Rolling Grill Basket
I got this for my husband, who loves cheese, and he was SO excited. He uses it all the time for cheese…and I use it for easy slicing when available.
Rotary Cheese Grater
This is such a nice addition to our meal prepping weeks - especially for fruit/berries. Highly recommend.
Over the Sink Colander Strainer Basket
We had this in our first place, and it is so nice to have the extra counter space (and storage space)! Not to mention, we had a trash-loving dog so this was super nice to tuck away and not have to worry about him. I also loved that it was on wheels b...
60" Kitchen Island
Did we buy this for only the s'mores aspect? Yes, yes we did - BUT the fondue side has been such a fun surprise and it makes for such an easy dessert option when people come over.
2 in 1 Electric S’mores Maker & Fondue Pot
I bought this for my husband (a very affordable option!) per the recommendation of a friend, and he LOVED it.
