4-inch Henkels Paring Knife
Everyone needs a good, sharp paring knife in the kitchen. The 4-inch Henkels paring knife is my favorite!
8-inch Chef's Knive
I only use a few knives in the kitchen. A chef's knife, paring, and bread. That's all you really need!
8-Quart All-Clad Dutch Oven
An 8-quart All-Clad dutch oven is worth every penny and will last a lifetime.
9-inch Stainless Steel Cake Pan
Perfect size and it's stainless steel so it won't leach any funny things into your cakes!
All-Clad 12-Quart Stock Pot
I think this is one of the best all-clad deals out there. A 12-quart pot with 2 steamer baskets! I use this pot to make chicken and beef stock each week.
All-Clad Butter Warmer
I don't use a microwave so this pot is ideal for heating up all those little things in the kitchen.
All-Clad Lasagna Pan
I use this pan as my roasting pan. It's big enough for a thanksgiving turkey and costs 1/2 the price of the all-clad roasting pan.
Bormioli Glass Jars
I use these jars in my pantry to store dry foods such as nuts, flours, seeds, etc. They are very sturdy and can even be used in the freezer!
Chef's Choice Knife Sharpener
Using dull knife is very dangerous, especially if the kids are cooking in the kitchen. This sharpener ensures sharp (and safer) knives. It's worth every penny!
Coffee and Spice Grinder
The best coffee/spice grinder I've found. The top and little bowl detach for easy clean-up.
Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor
This was the first kitchen appliance I bought and would have a difficult time cooking without one.
Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker
So easy to use! I keep my bowl in the freezer so I can make ice cream whenever needed. (I'll admit...I own two of them!)
Hand Immersion Blender
This is one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. I can puree a soup or make a quick smoothie without all the mess. It also makes for a great gift!
Kitchen Aid Crock Pot
I've had this 6 1/2 quart slow cooker for 2 years now and LOVE it! It's big enough to make large meals and the ceramic coating doesn't contain any lead (no no need to worry about heavy metals leaching into your food!)
Kitchen-Aid 5 Quart Standing Mixer
KitchenAid mixers are the powerhouse of the kitchen. I bought mine 16 years ago and it's still going strong!
Kitchen-Aid Meat Grinder Attachment
For those days when you need ground chicken and all you have is whole breasts...this is the answer.
Pyrex Storage Containers
These containers freeze well (no cracking!) and are great for storing leftovers.
Soda Stream
My kids love this at-home "sparkler" (that's their name for it). It's a super fun gadget! (We don't use the flavor packets, but instead make up our own combinations.)
Stainless Steel Large Cookie Sheets
I have 4 of these that are in constant rotation in my oven. I love the larger size.
Stainless Steel Scraper
I love using this when I bake to transfer dough to a baking sheet or pie dish. It also helps cleans your counter in no time!
Wide-Mouth Mason Jars
Wide-mouth mason jars are great for freezing foods. I store my weekly batch of chicken stock in these jars.
Stainless Steel Dehydrator
Almost all dehydrators are made of plastic, so this is a great safer alternative!
