Hey guys! I try to provide links to handy tools and gadgets in each of our posts, but thought it might be helpful to have them here as well! While I firmly believe you don’t need to have all the right things to create something awesome, it definitely helps and can make the process more fun.
Check out the links below and be sure to comment with your favorite kitchen gadgets!
KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, 5-Quart, Empire Red
This is by far my favorite kitchen gadget. I use it all the time for everything from pizza dough to chocolate chip cookies and even for shredding chicken! You can add other accessories, too, like the spiralizer below. Stand mixers aren’t cheap, but they sure are worth it!
Lodge 6 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven (Island Spice Red)
I’ve made everything from Zuppa Toscana to Garlic Rosemary bread in this amazing Dutch Oven. Perfect for a Sunday roast or a big batch of chili.
Programmable 6-Quart Crock-Po with Dipper
I can’t tell you how many times I threw something in the crock-pot, went about my day, and then came home to a delicious meal without having to do anything! It’s such a timesaver and allows me to relax after work. It’s also great when you’re bringing a dish to someone else’s house. The crock-pot usually stays warm enough during the drive, so you can just plug it in when you arrive and your food will be hot and ready.
Ninja Ultra Pro Performance Blender / Food Processor
Man, what would I do without my Ninja blender. I use it for soup, salsa, smoothies, basically anything with an ‘S’! It’s super easy to clean and performs much better than my old, standard blender.
KitchenAid Spiralizer Attachment with Peel, Core and Slice
I got this for Christmas in 2016 and have already used it so many times! It’s wicked cool, fast, and easy = two thumbs up.
Calphalon Stock Pot, 8-quart, Black
My trusty Stock Pot is perfect for soups, pasta, or anytime you just need a little extra space. It heats very evenly and is surprisingly easy to clean as well! I’ve had it for over 3 years and it still looks like it’s fresh out of the box.
CorningWare French White 3-Quart Ceramic Casserole Dish
I use this for Shepherd’s Pie, Stuffing, Breakfast Casserole, and more. It’s a must-have for anyone who loves to cook.
Pyrex Glass Baking Dishes
Similar to the casserole dish on the left, you can never have too many pans to bake in. Perfect for brownies, stuffing, casseroles… pretty much anything.
Lodge L8SK3 Cast Iron Skillet, Pre-Seasoned, 10.25-inch
A good Cast Iron Skillet is a must in every home! We cook steaks, burgers, fajitas, and more in this baby and I look forward to the day we have more kitchen space so I can get an even bigger one! Be sure to take good care of it and it will last a lifetime!
Wilton Springform Pan, 9-Inch
You can make cheesecake with this pan. Enough said.
Silicone Egg Poaching Cups, BPA Free
Easy to use, easy to clean, and a quick way to make poached eggs!
Wilton Large Cookie Sheet
We use this for everything from roasted broccoli and meatballs to cookies and bacon wrapped chicken bites.
