1. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey, so you can add a pinch of sweet and a kick of spice to — well, just about anything. If you can dream it, you can hot honey it. (Pro-tip, though: drizzle it on grilled cheese.)
2. A trio lasagna pan designed so you can have not one, not two, but *three* kinds of lasagna — meaning you can make one normal one as a fail-safe and get wild throwing all kinds of ingredients into the other two.
3. A silicone donut pan that can also be used for home! made! bagels!! that you can jazz up however you like.
4. Plus a shaker of Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel Seasoning, a truly iconic condiment that deserves a spot in all your dishes — I'm talking salad, meats, homemade breads, ice cream (did I stutter??), the whole nine yards.
5. A basbaas sauce that can complement preeeetty much any dish you throw at it, and comes in two varieties: Coconut Cilantro Chutney and Tamarind Date Sauce. Each has a unique flavor profile, and is also vegan, gluten-free, and made with organic ingredients.
6. A mini waffle maker to churn out adorably-sized, perfectly cooked-through waffles in mere minutes — not to mention hash browns, paninis, biscuits, and even (gasp) PIZZA.
7. An air fryer that can cook so many different dishes using the power of rapid air technology that it'll spoil you for other methods of cooking forever. Perfectly crisped french fries, veggies, and chicken wings in less than 20 minutes — no oil required.
8. A sushi-making kit perfect for beginners or intermediate sushi makers, so you can finally mix and match the exact ingredients your adventurous heart desires.
9. A pineapple cutter that will peel, core, and slice up your fruit in a matter of seconds, so you can stop ~pining~ for your pineapple and start adding it to your dishes for an unexpected tangy twist.
10. A set of vegan-friendly sampler jams in flavor combinations so unexpected and delicious that you might just skip the whole "cooking" thing altogether and eat straight from the jar.
11. An avocado slicer, because truly, what meal hasn't been improved by adding gobs of avocado to it? Yeah, that's what I thought.
12. An Instant Pot pre-programmed so you can add a ton of delicious meals to your repertoire by literally putting them in the pot and pressing a button, from soups to stews to rice to porridge to slow-cooked veggies and meats.
13. A silicone muffin mold, because sometimes all you need to think out of the box is to start thinking *inside* a muffin. This mold is handy enough to cook single-sized portions of eggs, pastries, and muffins, and since they're all individually baked, you can get crafty with what ingredients you put in each of 'em.
14. A rapid egg cooker so versatile, it can cook eggs in five different ways, all just using the steam from the water you measure into the machine. Breakfast for dinner just became breakfast for always.
15. A bottle of avocado hot sauce to both delight and emotionally confuse your tastebuds with the combo of creamy avo + HEAT.
16. A set of three dough presses in different sizes perfect for hand pies, dumplings, ravioli, calzones, empanadas, and truly any delicious thing you can think of that you want tucked into a pillow of warm carbs.
17. A panini press to make you gorgeous, evenly-cooked, Panera-level sandwiches instead of the boring ones you were grilling in a pan.
18. A creamy roasted garlic aioli made with the teensiest touch of mustard to add a little extra ~oomph~ to pretty much every genre of food on your dinner plate.
19. A nine-in-one pressure cooker equipped to make *deep breath* stews, soups, rice, eggs, yogurt, porridge, and veggies, among a bajillion other ideas you can try in the free recipe book it comes with.
20. A veggie spiralizer and chopper with five different thickness settings, so you can make your meals all the more colorful (or just find an excuse to say the word "zoodle" more often).
21. A gourmet burger marinade and sauce set so flavorful you can cancel all the other burger toppings (sorry @ketchup). This'll elevate all your summer grilling, whether it's ground beef, venison, turkey, or even plain old veggies.
22. A meal delivery from HomeChef, which will send you portioned and labeled ingredients for all kinds of meals that you can customize yourself using an app. It's sort of like being your *own* fancy chef, but with training wheels.
23. A four-person combo raclette grill — on the top you can cook small amounts of veggies, meat, and seafood, while on the bottom you can melt gobs of glorious cheese to accompany them. It's basically like the Melting Pot, but you don't have to put on pants.
24. A set of porcelain ramekins for single-serving foods like mac 'n' cheese, quiches, and desserts, so you can mix things up by letting your usual plate take a vacation.
25. A ghost pepper and blueberry hot sauce, because honestly, I dare anything taste "boring" after you dip it in this.
26. A beginner-friendly fermenting kit complete with everything you need to "set it and forget it," so you can serve yourself lil' sides of pickled things with your dishes like a fancy farm-to-table restaurant.
