1. A 16-piece nonstick cookware set so you can prepare all kinds of yummy meals at home and not have to waste who knows how long scraping food off the pots and pans. This is your sign to retire those old college hand-me-downs for a high-performing matching set.
2. A handheld meat chopper because this tool makes cutting, mashing, and mixing beef, potatoes, and more not only fast but also kinda fun. Truly one of those kitchen gadgets you didn't realize you needed, and then suddenly can't live without.
3. A silicone clip-on strainer if you'd rather not end up with half your pasta in the sink every. darn. time. Not only is this thing waaay easier to use (it clips directly onto the rim of the pot) but it's also way easier to store, too!
4. A genius dual-compartment garlic press that doesn't just mince garlic but can also slice it! Ugh, where has this been all my life? 😩
5. A cutting board prep station so you can become the most efficient meal prepper in all the land. The board itself has measuring marks for even slicing and dicing, plus a built-in garlic grater — but wait! There's more! At the end of the board, you'll find a removable storage tray (it comes with four trays total). Simply chop, slide, and replace the tray for the next ingredient.
6. A ceramic and aluminum Dutch oven just perfect for cooking up hearty stews, casseroles, soups, ravioli, and tons of other soul-warming dishes. Now that we're entering soup season, I can guarantee you'll be using this beauty at least once a week.
7. A nonstick jumbo sauté pan to prepare all the other meals, like one-pan roasted chicken and potatoes, veggie stir fry, pan-seared steak, and fettuccine alfredo...are you drooling at the possibilities yet? 🤤
8. A nifty grater set that lets you shred directly into an attached measuring/storage container, which means you won't lose a single ounce of precious cheese to the countertop! As if that weren't practical enough, it even comes with two interchangeable stainless-steel blades, one coarse and one fine. 🤩
9. A simple but sturdy whisk so you can fluff up eggs, whipped cream, pancake batter, and more like an absolute pro. Trust me, this thing works way better than a fork.
10. A trio of peelers — straight, julienne, and serrated — because apparently having the right kind of peeler is actually important (I'm seriously just learning this now). To summarize my research findings: these are gonna make your life a whole easier at the cutting board.
11. A sleek handheld zester tool you can use to drown your spaghetti, salad, and other eats in an absolute mountain of cheese. You'll even have the option for fine or coarsely grated! Say when? Never!!
12. A super fun and colorful 15-piece stainless-steel knife set to make chopping, slicing, and dicing extra fun and hassle free. Sharp blades. ✅ Comfy cute handles. ✅ Convenient storage block. ✅ Yep, that's 3/3, folks!
