Jennifer Garner’s KitchenAid Holiday Essentials

KitchenAid Go Cordless Bundle

Garner calls the KitchenAid Go cordless bundle a “game changer” in a busy kitchen. “Somebody can be at the kitchen table, nowhere near an outlet, mixing mashed potatoes while somebody else is using the hero of Thanksgiving, which is the stand mixer, to do whatever they’re doing.” While she’s not typically a fan of battery-operated appliances, these cordless tools are the exception. “The hand mixer is as strong with a battery as the hand mixer that plugs into a wall,” she said, and the battery pack clicks on and off with ease. According to Garner, “a kid could do it.” 

KitchenAid Go Kitchen Vacuum

“This vacuum should be in every Christmas stocking or on every gift list,” Garner said. The KitchenAid Go dustbuster is small enough to fit in your kitchen drawer and comes in handy for cleaning up spilled flour, coffee grounds, and so much more. “The other night, I got home, and my son had holiday music playing and was making ginger snaps, and he was so stinking cute. And believe me, we needed that vacuum when he finished,” she said. “We use ours pretty much four times a day.”

KitchenAid Classic 4.5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

If you plan on transforming leftovers into delicious next-day breakfasts and lunches, “you might as well keep your stand mixer going into the day after Thanksgiving,” Garner said. She appreciates that the 10-speed tilt-head mixer has a half-speed option “because you don’t want to overmix at the end if you’re making something like a quick bread, a cookie, or a muffin. You want it to come together and then to be done quickly.”

KitchenAid Tilt-Head Flex Edge Beater

Garner also loves this genius KitchenAid mixer attachment, which scrapes the bottom of the bowl as you’re mixing. The flex edge beater minimizes mess and mixing time, boosting your overall efficiency. “If you’re creaming butter and sugar, you won’t have that bunch of butter that’s stuck at the bottom of the mixer, so that is very exciting,” Garner noted. 

KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine KF8

“I never thought of KitchenAid when I thought about coffee, but that has changed,” said Garner. This fully automatic espresso machine does all of the work for you, from grinding the beans to frothing the milk. “You tell it, ‘I want a cappuccino with non-dairy milk,’ and it will make it exactly as that particular thing should be made.” This is especially helpful when you’re hosting a crowd: “You could have 40 people over and make 40 different drinks in a matter of minutes.”

KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker

Cooking rice to perfection can be a tricky task, which is why the KitchenAid grain and rice cooker is one of Jen’s new kitchen heroes. “This is how it works: You pour brown rice in, but you don’t have to measure it. [The machine] will dispense the amount of water that is needed for that much brown rice. You say, ‘I would like this ready at six o’clock,’ and then at six o’clock you open it, and there’s freshly made fluffy perfect brown rice. And you can do that with quinoa, oatmeal, beans, white rice, [and more]. It is truly a game changer.”
