    Promising review: "This cube has been amazing, I don’t have to wash a million utensils over and over, it’s very easy to use, easy to clean and it’s very handy to use for when I’m meal prepping for the week. I bought this out of curiosity and ended up enjoying it a lot. If a regular guy like me is enjoying it, I’m sure it would be a great tool for people who cook or bake on a regular basis." —Daniel Matajira

    Promising review: "Our hopes in purchasing this product was to eliminate the need for parchment or foil paper. So we put it to the ultimate test by making fathead dough and rolling it out directly onto the silicone baking mat. I could not believe it didn't stick during the rolling out or the actual baking process. We continuously put it to the test and we've not had any issues as of yet. We just love this great find!!!" —Amazon Customer

    Amazon

    This set comes with 13 knives, kitchen scissors, a peeler, a 2-stage knife sharpener, and a knife stand. In addition to six (!) steak knives, you also get seven other styles, including carving, utility, cheese, pizza, chef, bread, and paring.

    Promising review: "These knives are great! They stay super sharp, they’re comfortable to hold, and I love how much counter space it leaves as opposed to a big bulky knife block. Fits perfectly in my minimalist kitchen!!! And it looks great on my counter being one of the few things that I keep on my countertop! It is the perfect amount of knives without being too many knives (I don’t like things in excess)! I have never had a cheese knife before, and this baby is my favorite one in the whole set! LOL! It slices through hard cheeses like butter! Have not tried on soft cheese, but I’m sure it’ll be great because it is super sharp! I can’t say enough about how much I love these knives!!" —Sadie Allen

    Get them from Amazon for $64.99 (available in smaller set sizes and two colors).

    4. A trio baking pan because why can't *every* piece be a corner piece? This can be used for brownies, bread, lasagna, you name it. You can customize recipes when cooking for holiday guests who have different preferences or food allergies.

    Promising review: "As someone who has a child (now a teenager) who will not eat any form of cheese, this pan is amazing! I typically avoid making any food that has cheese mixed into it but now I can make him a section without cheese and the rest of us our regular cheesy goodness. Another benefit to this pan is how well the portions slice. One cut with the spatula gives you a perfectly formed square. Each section makes four regular-sized portions for our family." —TLC

    Get it from Amazon for $19.16.

    5. An apple corer and cutter so you can ~slice~ prep time in half when you're baking mouth-watering apple pies for the whole fam.

    Promising review: "You can find apple slicers in most big-box stores, but they usually cut apples in about half the number of slices as this. Trust me, this is the one you want. If you use a good peeler to get the peel off the top and bottom of the apple, and make sure to cut the bottom of the apple fairly flat, this slicer will give you nice even slices that are great for pies. I also use this for applesauce, as it's easy to cut up the slices to make small chunks. If you're cooking or baking with apples, this slicer is worth having." —Gracie's Dad

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four colors).

    6. A genius Oxo measuring cup with transparent measurements both on the side AND angled in the middle. When you bake your famous Christmas brownies, you'll always be able to see *exactly* how much you're measuring.

    It also comes equipped with a soft-grip handle and a deeply convenient angled nozzle, and is dishwasher safe!

    Promising review: "Our old liquid measuring cups were beginning to get worn and very hard to read. I had seen these angled measuring cups before and wanted to give them a try, so I bought two (2-cup versions) to replace our existing cups. I've only gotten to use them a handful of times, but I can already tell you they are better than traditional measuring cups. I have good eyesight, so reading a traditional measuring cup isn't a problem. However, I've always disliked having to lean over to watch the cup fill up, or start/stop filling to make sure I have what I need. With the overhead reading, I can pour my liquid in and know exactly when to stop. In my opinion, this is the only way measuring cups should be made in the future." —SK

    Get it from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in three sizes).

    7. A pair of cut-resistant gloves that'll protect your delicate fingers when cutting that yummy holiday ham! These gloves are made to be four times stronger than leather, so they're *extremely* durable.

    Promising review: "I bought the gloves because I had two nasty cuts in quick succession from a cheese grater. Anyone who has had injuries to their fingers knows how difficult it is to continue to do everyday activities and meal preparation while still protecting your wound. I received the gloves quickly after my order and pressed them into use immediately that evening. I am most impressed. My fingers/hands were protected from my very sharp grater and knife while I prepared dinner. I bought two pairs, one to keep and one to give as a gift. I am now going to buy a third pair in a larger size for a friend who also likes to cook but suffers from occasional run-ins with mandolins, graters, and knives. Great product!" —O'Hare

    Get it from Amazon for $11.49 (available in sizes S–XL and five styles).

    8. A reusable bowl cover if you're the one bringing the bread to the holiday potluck and you want it to be *perfect*. This will prevent your precious loaves from drying out while they proof!

    Stacy's Kitchen is a San Francisco-based small business that makes handmade kitchen linens with a focus on sustainability.

    Get it from Stacy's Kitchen on Etsy for $11.98+ (available in seven sizes and four patterns, as well as a set of three). 

    9. A pair of extra-long oven mitts so no one gets burned when taking Santa's scrumptious baked goods out of the oven.

    Promising review: "There is nothing to dislike about these oven mitts. They arrived quickly and I use them every day. I've baked cookies and bread and roasted meat and veggies without a single burn, which is a first for me. These long mitts protect way up on my arms and they are very flexible...no more pans slipping out of my hands because of padded cotton mitts that are too bulky to allow for a good grip. I will never use anything but these mitts, and I'm buying some for my daughter as well!" —Georgia grandma

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 14 colors, as well as a slightly smaller size). 

    10. A large Cuisinart food processor for those who love to whip up holiday treats but don't want to be bothered with tons of prep. This mighty lil' gadget will do all the hard work for you.

    Promising review: "I LOVE this food processor! I've looked for months, asked friends for recommendations, and read countless reviews. I decided on this model and it is SO easy and fun to use. Cleans up in a flash as well. Next to the Vitamix, this food processor is the "other" star in my kitchen. No idea how I cooked without one for so long!" —AM

    Get it from Amazon for $234.25+ (available in five sizes and eight colors). 

    11. An adorable set of gingerbread cookie cutters guaranteed to get your household into the holiday spirit. The final product is cookies that are cute *and* tasty.

    Promising review: "Love these gingerbread cutters. Especially like that the designs are on the cutter for their clothes, hair, eyes, etc. so if you don’t have the time or the inclination to frost them, you can still have fancy cookies. Would shop here again. So many choices to make. Good pricing and carefully packed for shipping." —Roberta Browne

    Get a set of two from Sweet Prints, Inc. on Etsy for $11+ (available in six sizes and two materials).

    12. A pre-seasoned Lodge cast-iron skillet that'll last for years so you can keep enjoying all the ahh-mazing Christmas meals and treats it makes for as long as possible. It has excellent heat retention and can be used on the stove, in the oven, on the grill, or over a campfire!

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross has this pan and loves it: "I've had my Lodge skillet for maybe seven years now, and I love it just as much today as the first day I got it. Nothing — and I mean NOTHING — is better when it comes to achieving the perfect golden brown pancake, crackly-skinned fish, and crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside baked pasta (see photo above!). Contrary to popular belief, it's incredibly easy to care for, and as long as you don't let it rust it'll last you FOR-EV-ER. I'm already planning on baking some cornbread in it for Thanksgiving!"

    Promising review: "I bought this because it was on sale and I wanted a cast iron for baking. The first thing I made was a chocolate chip cookie. I previously had one and it started to rust after the first use. However, the cookie was crispy and evenly cooked. It's been a few weeks and it still looks new and no rust in sight." —Nohemi

    Get a 10.25-inch skillet from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in nine sizes, and in bundles with accessories). 

    13. A six-piece bakeware set you'll get so much use out of during the holidays alone, it'll practically pay for itself. If you've been using the same rusted bakeware set for a decade, this is a worthy upgrade!

    Promising review: "After doing research, I realized this set was the best price for each bakeware item. I just started baking in earnest and I don't want to spend wildly on baking tools when I'm a mediocre baker. These are actually standard sizes and trays across most of the recipes I've encountered. Used most of them already and am loving them!" —V. Rogers

    Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $34.67.

    Get it from Pastry Made on Etsy for $23.79+ (available in two sizes).

    15. A kitchen scale for those Christmas recipes that demand *precise* measurements and nothing less. We all know too much or too little of one ingredient can ruin an entire batch, and no one wants that!

    Promising review: "This scale does what it is designed to do. 😊 It's pretty easy and basic to use. It has several measurements to choose from and you can put a container on it and then zero it out so you can put food in the container and only read the food." —Marissa Andrews

    Get it from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in nine colors).

    16. And a clever adjustable measuring spoon so you don't have to rummage through your drawers for that one measurement you can never find. Simply drag the slider to the desired amount for the right measurement. It's a Christmas miracle!

    Amazon

    This spoon measures from 1/2 teaspoon up to 1 full tablespoon.

    Promising review: "I really like that I can use just one tool to measure whatever I need by adjusting the spoon size. I cook and bake frequently and this has been so convenient to use. I no longer have to worry about finding a specific spoon size and this takes up less room, which is key since I have limited storage space." —Amber O

    Get it from Amazon for $10.93.

    Promising review: "These liners are life changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Cleanup is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut them down to size to fit my toaster oven. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil which he found so annoying, deterring him to grill. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Kindle Custommer

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99.

    19. A handy 8-in-1 spiralizer you'll use in many different ways, especially around the holidays. Whether you're juicing, grating, or shredding, this compact gadget can take care of it! Bonus points: you'll save major storage space in the kitchen by using an all-in-one tool.

    Just swap out the inserts to go from one function to another!

    BuzzFeed Shopping's Emma Lord says: "I recently purchased this because it was my cheapest option for making zoodles, and also because my apartment is the size of a shoebox and there was no room for anything bigger. I LOVE how easy it is to swap out the caps to do other things, too — I've started grating my own cheeses and feel very fancy. But mostly I just love that it's very safe to use (it comes with a finger guard!), super easy to figure out, very compact, and even has measurements on the inside of the cup if you're ever portioning things out for a recipe."

    Promising review: "This is the second spiralizer that I have purchased, and by far the best I have used. It's super easy to use and to clean. My other spiralizer that I had was difficult to clean properly and I want to use they as often as possible so the use and cleaning of the product is very important! Fullstar Vegetable Spiralizer is a great product and I will be purchasing more to give as gifts for the holiday season. I would definitely recommend. A+++ item." —Yvonne I

    Amazon

    Promising review: "As a pastry chef, I have spent plenty of time and money trying out tools to make me more efficient at my job. I have plenty of different knives, spatulas, and piping tips that help me achieve that, but I had never found an egg separator as effective and easy to use as this. Most other tools take a moment or so to get a clean separation, but with this tool, it was seamless. A must-have for any kitchen." —Cassie

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    22. brownie pan for perfectly cut brownies every. single. time. Instead of it crumbling in your hand, each square remains flawlessly intact. You can use it for any Christmas treats you bake in the oven that need a nice, even slice.

    Promising review: "So I’m a huge brownie eater. I use to just use a normal baking pan, but the addition of the separator changes the consistency and texture of each brownie bite. It's amazing. Increased the taste of my brownies. Also fun to use with kids." —Ivan Delgado-Bernal

    Get it from Amazon for $16.25.

    23. A batter dispenser so you can spread that creamy muffin mix into each tin without a giant mess on your hands. The pulley handle lets you control how much batter is dispensed so you don't under or overdo it!

    Promising review: "This dispenser makes baking cupcakes/muffins, and making pancakes so much easier than just randomly pouring batter. I can measure the batter amounts exactly, so that cupcakes/muffins/pancakes cook evenly. It saves time, and I enjoy baking a lot more since using this handy dispenser!" —Chilicat

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99.

    24. An absolutely splurge-worthy KitchenAid stand mixer to justify the countless hours you spend in the kitchen whipping up baked goods — for Santa and others. It mixes, it fluffs, it kneads. Baiscally, it's a baker's dream come true.

    Amazon, Britt Ross / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross says: "Don't worry about it teetering over the edge of your counter when you set it to high speeds — it may be pricey, but as a former professional baker, I can confidently say nothing compares when it comes to sheer sturdiness. If you're serious about taking your pastry skills to new heights, I highly recommend having one of these in your arsenal. In addition to whisk and paddle attachments, it comes with a dough hook for all of you bread lovers out there (I used it for kneading the dough for the cinnamon rolls pictured above!), as well as a pouring shield, which keeps flour from getting all over your counter (and you!)."

    Promising review: "This mixer will change your life! I went from making French macarons all by hand power to using this standing mixer and I feel like a new baker! This mixer will definitely transform your practice and baking game, everything has become 100% easier! I suggest cleaning each part (three attachments, guard, and bowl) with mild soap and warm water, then clean the bowl with a baking powder paste to remove the gray metal polish that is applied at the factory. I was amazed at how gray the paste turned once I started rubbing it in the bowl. Glad I didn't ruin my first batch of macaron shells. So far the only con is the price, but having the right tools make baking SO much more enjoyable and productive." —Mr. P

    Get it from Amazon for $349+ (available in 20 colors). 

    25. Or a cordless KitchenAid electric hand mixer that's a necessity for any baker who is running out of counter space and outlets! It's also a budget-friendly option for beginners who aren't ready to splurge on a stand mixer.

    It has seven speeds for everything from easy stirring to intense whipping, and can mix dough for dozens of cookies on a single charge.

    Promising review: "Okay, I was skeptical about a cordless hand mixer. But I trust KitchenAid so I gave it a shot. Where has this been all my life?!? I love it! It’s quiet, powerful, lighter weight, and so convenient without the cord! Love!!!" —Staci Lyons

    Get it from Amazon for $99 (available in seven colors).

    26. An adjustable cake leveler for the *extremely* stressful experience of trying to create even cake layers. That multi-tier holiday cake will look like a winning dessert from The Great British Bake Off.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.39.

    27. An Oxo cookie scoop with a nonslip handle for easy gripping when it matters most: scooping Santa's cookie dough. They'll look beautiful on your baking sheet AND they'll cook evenly and be ready at the same time.

    reviewer photo of the cookie scoop next to a tray of uniformly-sized cookie dough balls

    You can also use them to evenly portion cupcake batter. 

    Promising review: "I really like Oxo products and have many of them. The quality is always right up there. I have both the small and medium cookie scoops. The small one is the one I use most, but I like the medium-sized one if I'm giving cookies away as gifts or want to take them to social gatherings. It just makes a generous cookie for giving. I prefer the smaller scoop when making cookies just for my husband and I. I like the fact that these scoops make cookies uniform in shape and size. Prior to buying these scoops, I just used a spoon and my cookies were anything but uniform! The dough slides out of the scoops very easily and keeps my fingers clean." —Rosebud

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three sizes).

    28. A set of silicone bread pans so your beloved loaves never stick to the sides again. These are perfect for making all kinds of goodies around the holidays: bread, quiche, meatloaf, coffee cake, etc.

    These food-grade silicone pans are heat-resistant up to 450 degrees F.

    Promising review: "No problem with the pans holding shape for baking loaves of bread. They held their shape while the dough was rising and they didn't expand during baking. Easy to clean. I used Pam spray on them so the loaves popped out without problems. Very pleased so far." —Todd Green

    29. A life-changing pie crust shield if you know the letdown of an otherwise-perfect Christmas pie with burnt edges. Your days of tenting pies with foil are over! And your pie edges shall never burn again.

    same reviewer's pie, now baked and with a golden brown, not burnt crust

    It adjusts to fit pies ranging from 8–11.4 inches. The BPA-free, food-grade silicone is heat-resistant up to 450 degrees F.

    Promising review: "Can’t live without these. You spend so much time preparing everything to make the perfect pie and then you notice that the crust is getting burnt. Argh. So you grab the aluminum foil and try not to burn your hands as you gingerly place it on the pie. This product is a game changer. It fastens into place to accommodate even little pot pies. You can put it on at the start and take it off near the end to brown the crust. No more burnt crust, I love it. I stick it in the dishwasher and it’s ready for the next pie. Worth the smile you’ll have on your face when you take your masterpiece out of the oven." —Oleh Haluszka

    "Such an easy way to open cans. This will reduce my cooking time! I would shy away from cans at grocery stores because I had such a hard time using my mechanical can opener. They were risky and left sharp edges that could hurt anyone. This can opener is a godsend. It comes with an instruction manual that clearly shows how to use it. It's super simple. I got it out of the box, inserted four AA batteries, and it was good to go. This is very user-friendly, no sharp edges, and gives a clean cut. I love love love it. To everyone who is thinking about getting one, it's a little more expensive than the manual ones, but well worth it. It will save your hands!" —liberty

    34. A pair of Nordic Ware half-sheet trays that'll change the way you bake for Santa (and yourself). They're made of pure aluminum, so they offer superior heat conductivity for even cooking *and* they'll never rust.

    BuzzFeeder Britt Ross had this to say: "I own these trays and can't even begin to count the number of cookies I've baked nor the amount of vegetables I've roasted on them. They're just perfect, everyday sheet trays that will fit more than enough food for a crowd while still fitting inside the average home cook/baker's oven. I always wash them by hand to prevent warping, and sure, with time, they won't look as brand spankin' new as they did when they were purchased. But, like my most beloved, sauce-splattered cookbooks, I truly believe the sign of a great kitchen product is a bit of wear that shows how often it's reached for. And at less than 30 bucks for a set of two, they're an unbeatable steal."

    Promising review: "These are the best baking sheets I've ever used. Midway through my childhood, we stumbled upon Nordic Ware and these were a staple growing up. They heat evenly, release cleanly, clean well, and last forever. The improvement over cheaper sheets was always apparent at holidays when we would try to use my grandparents' sheets, which were terrible. My wife and I just upgraded the sheets she had when we married, and already everyone loves them." —Terence Wise
