    35 Fancy Kitchen Items That Are Totally Worth The Dough

    If the kitchen is your happy place, your new favorite thing is probably in this list ✨

    1. A handheld mixer complete with three different attachments for whisking, frothing, and blending. The design is fully electric with a copper motor, which means no tired arms when you're making your favorite meals. It also features an ergonomic, comfy, nonslip handle!

    2. A set of glass storage canisters to stylishly hold your pasta, coffee beans, and treats. You'll get five variously sized canisters, each with a silicone ring on the included bamboo lids to ensure things stay fresh.

    3. An automatic spice grinder that can grind herbs and spices with just a push of a button. It comes with three spice pods that are easily interchangeable, making seasoning while you cook so much easier.

    4. A Fellow electric gooseneck kettle to make preparing hot beverages an effortless task. The stainless steel gooseneck actually makes pouring much smoother and more precise, while the balance handle (see where the thumb goes?) gives you a better grip and less chance of overflow.

    5. A round flip Belgian waffle maker that works so well it'll make you love mornings again. It makes 1-inch waffles, comes with six different temperature settings, and has nonstick coating for easy clean up.

    6. An Instant Pot 9-in-1 pressure cooker because it really does it all. Perfect for those the cooks with limited space and even better for non-cooks with limited experience. It features 15 pre-programmed and customizable cooking settings for things as simple as soup or rice, to more complicated ventures like slow cooking and sautéing.

    7. A chic and compact Beast Blender that's just as useful as it is stylish. The ribbed design helps things blend faster and more smoothly. And bonus points for the matching to-go drinking lid and carrying cap that's included!

    9. The Always Pan — the kitchen appliance that quickly grew a cult following for being all in one. (I'm not kidding about the following, colors sell out ALL the time). With every purchase, you'll get a beechwood spatula and a stainless-steel steamer basket.

    10. A sous vide precision cooker for restaurant-quality meals at home, minus all of the effort. This cooker can be controlled right from your phone and even provides cooking notifications from up to 30 feet away! Multitasking has never been so easy.

    11. A handmade egg separator to ensure every egg is evenly and cleanly separated. Oh! And it's dishwasher-safe, too.

    14. Or an over-the-sink cutting board when you want to keep the mess in one place and away from everything else. It features a convenient strainer and comes in multiple sizes to ensure it fits your sink perfectly!

    30. An Ember temperature-control smartmug to keep your coffee and tea as hot as when you first poured it. It's all controlled through the app where you choose your desired temperature and can even make presets for specific beverages. Fancy stuff, right?
