Electric Induction Countertop Burner
Taking your cooking skills on the road is fun with this Induction Countertop Burner. With induction cooking, the burner stays cool while the pan heats up. We suggest purchasing with a pot that has an aluminum core like the Cooks brand Multi-Ply Clad Frying Pan.
Instant Pot 7-1 Pressure Cooker
Busy parents rejoice with the instant pot! Those recipes that once took hours take minutes with this counter top pressure cooker.
Kitchen Food Scale
When recipes use measurements in grams, when you prefer to not dirty measuring spoons, or when you need to keep to tight diet food weights, this kitchen scale is accurate and reliable to get the job done.
Food Processor
Have the ability to move around the kitchen while this mixer does the heavy lifting (or rather mixing). We have included two models: We recommend the professional for large families or people who like to double batches or make bread. The Artisan is great for smaller families and single batches.
Chocolate & Cheese Fondue Pot
A fondue pot should heat evenly and be non-stick (nobody likes a burned glob of cheese on the bottom of the pot). This pot accomplishes both feats. The fondue bowl has a capacity of 2+ quarts which is perfect for a party. Helpful hint: keep chocolate at low tempurature.
Heart Shaped Waffle Maker
Verdict: kids will not eat regular waffles after eating waffles made with this waffle maker. The waffles are thinner than usual belgium waffle makers and quite delicious! Non-stick surface is PTFE, PFOA, lead, cadmium and nickel free.

Electric Knife
We aren’t sure how we lived without one of these for so long, we just know we wouldn’t want to live without it again. Quickly slices meats, baguettes, and anything else that needs slicing.
Crock-pot Slow Cooker
This Crock-pot slow cooker is our favorite for being large enough to feed a crowd and portable with its locking lid. Meat and vegetables cook evenly. The internal cooking pot can be microwaved, placed in the oven and is dishwasher safe.
Hand Blender
Sometimes a quick hand blender is all you need for soups, shakes, smoothies, baby food, desserts, or hummus. This blender doesn't scratch pans/bowls and is perfect for medium thickness food blending.
Stand Mixer
