We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A utensil crock so you can easily switch between cooking tools without having to dig through your messiest drawer in the house to find them.
2. A non-skid pastry mat with built-in size charts for the pro pastry chef in you just waiting to come out of the oven!
3. A two-stage knife sharpener, because there are few things more embarrassing than trying to slice a tomato and it just squishes under your dull blade for all the other tomatoes to see (and probably laugh at!)
4. A kitchen food scale to take the guess-work out of the amount of ingredients your recipes ask for.
5. A set of three Tasty cookie sheets which come with four emoji cookie cutters so you can take cooking cookies to a whole new level *heart eyes emoji*.
6. A titanium Rubbermaid pan organizer, because cooking is hard enough without having to hunt down your favorite pan which, as luck would have it, is always at the bottom of the stack!
7. A garlic rocker for mincing your garlic SO much easier. This tool simply rocks.
8. A cake decorating tool, because your hope of becoming America's next great baker will no longer be a ~pipe dream~.
9. A glass cooktop cleaner essential for removing the burnt, caked-on food stuck on the sides of your burner after your latest cooking disaster. It's best to start cooking in a clean environment.
10. A pair of heat resistant (up to 923°F!) cooking gloves with anti-slip grip that'll make baking this year's Thanksgiving turkey a piece of cake.
11. A meat thermometer so you can properly test the temperature of your meats to avoid food poisoning and also get the perfect medium-rare you're going for.
12. A Shark Tank–featured Scrub Daddy sponge that'll be tough on stains while you clean as you go, like the best chefs always do!
13. A round cast iron grill press to give you those grill marks and flavor without actually having to own one! This is great for pressing burger patties or paninis.
14. A Goo Gone spray gel for effectively removing all the grime from past turkey dinners and pie crusts gone wrong! A fresh oven will keep the things you cook all the more fresh.
15. An absolutely adorable sink strainer to catch bits of extra food from falling inside your drain, essentially saving you thousands of dollars on plumbing bills.
16. A stainless steel cast iron cleaner so you can maintain the beauty of your cast iron without damaging all the good coating that's on there!
17. A roll of shelf liner that will protect your cabinets, drawers, and fridge shelves from sticky condiments and protect *you* from the extra work of wiping them down.
18. A set of three kitchen tongs at three different lengths so you can adjust your reach depending on what you're cooking at that moment.
19. A stainless steel kitchen sink protector grid to keep your pans from scratching up the bottom of your sink while you're cooking up a storm.
20. A set of two stove counter gap covers so anything you're cooking doesn't wind up in the crack of darkness and despair! Be honest, once it falls down there, it's never going to get cleaned up!
21. An oven liner to keep that ~now clean~ oven of yours clean for good. Time to make that juicy cherry pie now!
22. A genius can strainer so you can stop making a complete mess of your hands + kitchen counter every time you open a can of anything.
23. A four-pack of bleach-free Barkeepers Friend cleaning powder to make sure you're not about to start cooking on the stove and the flames start sizzling last week's dinner.
24. A splatter guard, because you'd be surprised to realize just how much oil splatter gets all over your stove, counter, and backsplash while you're cooking.
25. A mini countertop trash can ideal for keeping small trash items and food buildup out of the sink and into the bin — without having to drip across the kitchen to the much larger can.
26. A stainless steel dumpling maker mold so you can make the perfect dumpling every time! (every dumpling is perfect but you get my point)
27. A black apron for when you're mid meal prep and you have nowhere else to wipe your hands! Plus it's a nice splatter guard for your clothes that you'll be happy you had.
