Yeti 42-Ounce Rambler Tumbler 

I’m embarrassingly bad at drinking water if it inconveniences me in any way, which is why I need a water bottle with a large capacity for minimal refills, a straw for easy sipping, and a dishwasher-safe design for effortless cleaning. Yeti’s Rambler tumbler checks all of these boxes and then some.   

Ateco Ultra Offset Spatula

I pull out my offset spatula at least once a day to lift cookies, frost cakes, spread peanut butter on toast, scoop yogurt out of its container, and so much more — and I’m not the only one. One shopper out of the 2,200 who gave Ateco’s 4.5-inch offset spatula a perfect rating on Amazon called it their “favorite tool” in their kitchen.   

OXO Good Grips Measuring Stainless Steel Measuring Cups and Spoons

Quality measuring cups and spoons are must-have kitchen tools, too. OXO’s are made of stainless steel for durability’s sake and have built-in magnets in their handles for easy separation and storage. Grab the set while it’s on sale for Black Friday at Amazon.  

Copco Non-Skid 3-Tier Spice Rack 

As a recipe tester and developer, I cook with a lot of spices, but as a person who works from a small home kitchen, I have limited storage space. To rectify this problem, I grabbed Copco’s three-tiered spice rack, which holds up to 21 spice jars, has nearly 19,000 five-star ratings online, and is 58% off right now.   

Made In Carbon Steel Griddle and Grill Press Set 

I pull out my Made In carbon steel griddle whenever I have a hankering for pancakes, which is often. And for the other occasions — the ones when I’m craving smash burgers, hashbrowns, or any other manner of ultra-crispy foods — I also pull out the brand’s included grill press.      

KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt Head Stand Mixer 

I’ve owned my KitchenAid stand mixer for a few years now, and it’s never failed to mix my cookie dough or whisk my egg whites to stiff peaks. I highly recommend grabbing this tool that more than 16,100 Amazon shoppers call “essential” while it’s $130 off. 

Caraway Nonstick Ceramic 3-Quart Saucepan 

I pull out my Le Creuset Dutch oven and Made In stainless steel stockpot when I have to make large quantities of soup, stew, or pasta, but for those times when I’m whipping up a quick dinner just for myself, this Caraway saucepan comes in handy. I love that it’s made of ceramic (read: nontoxic) and easy to clean.     

Männkitchen Pepper Cannon 

Männkitchen’s pepper cannon is just that: a cannon. It cranks through an entire jar of peppercorns with barely any effort on my part and has 60 coarseness settings for the ultimate pepper-grinding experience. I would normally hesitate to recommend such an expensive pepper mill, but it’s one of the best products I’ve laid hands on in a while. And trust me, as a writer who is lucky enough to play with the latest and greatest kitchen tools, I don’t make this statement lightly.  

KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor

While my KitchenAid food processor is slightly larger, this 13-cup model is more than capable of mixing together pie dough, whipping up chimichurri, and blending homemade nut butters. Mine sees almost daily use in my kitchen because of how easily it chops, shreds, mixes, and slices, and I bet yours will too. Add it to your cart while it’s $50 off for Black Friday. 

OXO Good Grips Multi-Purpose Kitchen and Herb Scissors

OXO’s scissors pull double duty as kitchen shears and herb strippers, making them the perfect multifunctional tool for cutting through chicken joints or removing rosemary from tough stems. Plus, you can separate the razor-sharp blades and stick them in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning after touching raw poultry.
