Here, you’ll find ONLY the items I have purchased and used in my kitchen. Each item includes a custom description as to why I’m in love. As I continue to purchase and use items that I feel comfortable recommending to my fellow creators I’ll be sure to update. The fact that you’re taking the time to check out my recs means the world!
Ninja Master Prep Professional This was a gift. That turned out to be one of those appliance I didn't realize I'd use ALL THE TIME. *Disclaimer, I don't yet own a food processor* The motor portion is actually transferrable and sits on top of each container. It comes with blades and lids for storage too. From salsas to pestos to slushies to marinades, this trio has worked wonders in my kitchen. Have I mentioned it's going on 10 years strong at this point?! With no problems? There's something to be said for practicality meeting longevity if you ask me!
Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Saute, Yogurt Maker, Sterilizer, and Warmer, 8 Quart, 14 One-Touch Programs This had been on my wish list for a minute. A HOT MINUTE. And my sweet husband purchased for my Christmas present 2 years ago! I thought I'd be using it daily, which honestly, just isn't the case. I can be pretty old school with pots and pans and junk. However, when I do use this guy it's is worth every penny. Probably bust him out once a week to make beans. Boy does this thing make the best beans. I also love using him for gumbo, broth, and steam canning! I put this dude to work last year when I decided it was time to learn how to preserve. While it's not my #1 most recommend tool for the kitchen, I can certainly recommend it. It's used and loved on regularly. Now days, I know there's pressure cooker air fryer combos. So if that's you're thing, still click on this link and start looking around 🙂
KitchenAid KSM150PSBF Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer, Buttercup This was a wedding gift over 10 years ago. Oh the cookies and cakes and bars and merengues this beaut has whipped up! I was so happy to see this color still in circulation... which when you click the pic, you'll see is actually a bit more muted. Not so bright and shinny. I prefer the Artisan series as all the bits are made with steel and the motor is more powerful. Sure you can snag one for less, but double check the specs. See what you're really working with. If you plan to use it and not look at it, definitely consider this upgrade!
KitchenAid Pasta Roller Attachment, Silver, 1' I know there's a three piece set version of this. But honestly, I've never needed more than this simple roller! One handed no problem. Sheets of pasta that can be turned into literally anything. Thick fettuccini, ravioli, bow ties... the possibilities are endless. Whenever Dan and I want to have a fun date night in, this is the gadget we pull out to play around with! It's never disappointed!
KitchenAid KHB2561CU 5-Speed Hand Blender - Contour Silver I've had mine for 10 years... and well they just don't make that model anymore. Mine is corded with multiple speeds, which are the two most important things in my opinion. I wish there had been options for different attachments and a whisk like this back in the day!
Only thing I need on this list is the pasta roller.
I’ll be adding more shortly 😛 But this pasta roller is fab. I opted not to get the cutters, and just have fun shaping by hand. The sheet gives me all the options to play around with!!
