    Just 42 Things Your Kitchen Definitely Wants You To Buy

    Consider this your sign to finally order the gadget that'll let you cook pasta in the microwave.

    1. An air fryer (from the makers of the INSTANT POT!!), perfect for anyone who hasn't always been a big fan of leftovers but wants to make the most of all their delicious homemade meals. Best of all? You can crisp up your fave foods without all that oil.

    2. A milk frother to pack a powerful, spinning punch despite looking rather delicate. It'll help transform your hot chocolate into one out of a Hallmark Christmas movie scene. Delish.

    3. A set of LED light saber chopsticks you'll probably misplace in your utensil drawer but then have the opportunity to exclaim, "THESE are the ones I've been looking for!" once you've finally find them.

    4. An automatic pan stirrer with a timer, perfect for any aspiring chef who tends to get a little absent-minded while following a recipe.

    5. A handheld garlic press you'll be ready to *rock 'n' roll* with right out of the package — don't plan to invite any vampires over for dinner.

    9. An Our Place "Always Pan" that's basically eight different pieces of cookware in one. This multi-functional beauty does the job of a fry pan, sauce pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, nonstick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. Wowee!

    10. A set of flexible cutting boards, because if you're diving into cooking you'll soon likely find out you shouldn't just be chopping things up on a paper towel. Guilty.
