1. An Instant Pot air fryer that will have your food go from frozen to fried in minutes. With features like a timer, automatic shutoff, and a cool-touch exterior, you can even teach the kiddos how to cook dinner for the family.
2. A manual pasta maker for a fun date night activity with your partner. It comes with a bench clamp and recipe book, making it easy to create a fabulous home-cooked dinner. C'mon, what's better than pasta that's made from scratch?! 🍝 *Chef's kiss.*
3. And a pasta drying rack to hang your noodles on. It can hold up to 4 pounds of pasta noodles. The rack includes a wand that allows you to safely transport your pasta to a boiling pot or bags for storage.
4. An egg cooker that makes soft-, medium-, and hard-boiled eggs as well as poached eggs, and even omelets. Cook up to seven whole eggs at a time, or make up to two poached eggs or an omelet. Breakfast is served. 🍳
5. A stainless steel colander with extendable handles so you can set it over your sink to strain pasta or potatoes without the 🤹🏼juggling🤹🏼 act of holding both the pot and colander. Works great for cleaning fruits and vegetables as well!
6. A salad spinner that's like a car wash for your leafy greens. Rinse then spin to give your lettuce a quick but thorough bath. The spinning basket doubles as a colander *and* a bowl plus lid, which can be used as storage. We love a multipurpose kitchen gadget!!
7. A meat thermometer to make sure the holiday turkey is cooked to perfection. This instant reader can also be used for liquids such as oils for deep frying. But wait, there's more: It has both a magnet and a hook for attaching directly to your BBQ, refrigerator, or oven.
8. An egg slicer so you can ~slice~ and ~dice~ hard-boiled eggs to absolute perfection. Cut them into wedges, thinly slice them, or dice them for some homemade egg salad.
9. A 3-in-1 handheld electric frother so you can say ~goodbye~ to $5 lattes and ~hello~ to saving money. With three speeds, you can decide how foamy you want to be.
10. An herb mincer that simply rolls over your fresh parsley, basil, and cilantro to cut it up however finely you prefer. The blades retract into the mincer for easy storage *and* it's is dishwasher safe on the top rack.
11. And a hand-powered vegetable chopper to cut down prep time for the tedious task of chopping fruits, vegetables, and meats. Grab the tortilla chips because you can whip up a mean bowl of guac with this baby, as well as pesto, hummus, and salsa.
12. An electric wine opener so there's zero struggle to get to your fave grape juice. Also, no more shredding the foil as if your cat opened the bottle, because this includes a handy foil cutter. You can open 80 bottles on a single charge and then just plug it back into charging base. On top of all that, it even has a vacuum sealer to keep unfinished bottles fresh and delicious.
13. A spiralizer for a sneaky way to get the family to eat more vegetables. Ditch the carbs for some zucchini noodles (aka zoodles)!! It comes with three stainless-steel blades that include a thin spiral blade, thick spiral blade, and straight blade for long, ribbon strands.
14. An electric coffee grinder that won't wake your roommate up as you make your cup of joe in the morning. It grinds enough coffee beans for up to 12 cups in 15 seconds! Okaaaaay overachiever. Bonus: It's not just for coffee — you can use it for herbs, spices, and nuts too!
15. An easy-to-use espresso maker so you can have a fresh cup of espresso in just three minutes!! All you have to do is pour water into the bottom, add a dash of finely ground beans in the center, and close the top. Heat it on the stovetop between low and medium heat, and voilà!! ☕️
16. An electric kettle that has a heat-proof handle *and* an automatic shutoff. Made of stainless steel, this guy has a gooseneck spout that allows for a precise pour *and* a sleek look that you won't mind displaying on your kitchen counter.
17. A rice cooker that cooks up to eight cups of rice *or* quinoa but can also steam veggies *and* fish. Fan of oatmeal? It cooks that too! And it has built-in protection against overcooking, so you get your meal just right every time.
18. An 11-in-1 kitchen gadget that slices, chops, grates, spiralizes, and juices. The catch tray allows for less mess when cooking while also allowing you to store all the blades in one place. It even includes a protective glove so there won't be any accidental bloodshed in the kitchen.
19. A food processor so you can make more things from scratch and ditch all the additives that come in a lot of store-bought food. With an S-blade, shredding disc, and slicing disc, this bad boy is a multipurpose tool that will help ~cut~ down time on meal prep. Go ahead and shred the whole block of cheese so you can snack on it before adding it to your recipe (or am I the only one who does that?!).
20. A hands-free jar opener so you don't have to go through countless tricks of banging on the lid, using a towel to twist it open, *or* passing it off for someone else to try. This little robot adjusts to fit any size jar and doesn't use blades — it just tightly grips the rim and jar, and gets the job done.
21. A pair of meat shredding claws so you can quickly shred pork, chicken, or beef. Taco night, chicken salad, and pulled pork just became effortless. Plus they're dishwasher safe, so it's one less thing you have to worry about once dinner is finished.
22. An iced tea and coffee maker for people who prefer their caffeinated beverages to be cold. It brews up to 12 cups *and* has an automatic shutoff. Compatible with ground coffee, loose-leaf tea, or tea bags, you can select the brew strength in case you have a sensitivity to caffeine *or* are like some people who want to drink straight jet fuel. 🚀
23. An adorable lil' tea infuser for those who love their loose-leaf tea. After finding out that some tea bags contain microplastics, I decided to switch to loose leaf. This is made out of stainless steel and silicone, plus the leaf design is so cute — it's like a little plant sprouting outta your cup. 🌱
24. An electric grill and panini press that has a nonstick surface because there is nothing worse than leaving half your meal stuck on the pan. The drip tray allows the grease to drain off with ease — just don't pull a Michael Scott from The Office and cook bacon in bed just because you like waking up to the smell of bacon. 🥓
25. A cult-favorite Vitamix because so many people's New Year's resolution is to eat more fruits and veggies, so why not start early? This will be well worth the money when you are making protein shakes and smoothies daily — I have to run my cheap blender several times to get my smoothies to the right consistency, and I am hoping Santa will bring me one of these. Bonus: It's backed by a five-year warranty!!
26. An ice maker you can fill with purified water so you have enough ice when hosting parties. No more fumbling with loads of flimsy ice trays or having bulky bags take up the whole freezer. This makes a batch in as little as six minutes — wham, bam, thank you, ma'am!
27. An electric citrus juicer that's perfect for making fresh-squeezed lemonade, grapefruit, *or* orange juice. I always pick oranges from my parents' tree and use this gadget to make OJ. In fact, I've made so many batches before that I was giving it away — and this thing was a lifesaver!
28. A toaster oven with sliced-bread slots on top so you don't have to heat up the whole kitchen by turning on the oven just to reheat one leftover slice of pizza. Complete with an auto shutoff, alarm, adjustable rack, and removable crumb tray, this thing bakes, broils, AND toasts.
29. A mini pancake ring with silicone handles for cooking stacks of flawless pancakes *or* exquisitely round eggs for breakfast sandwiches. The handle folds down for more compact storage, and they are dishwasher safe. ✔️
30. A set of four taco holders that double as pasta drying racks. These are a game changer for hard shell tacos — you can actually keep the contents of the taco inside the shell. Less mess and they are dishwasher safe.
