2. A 15-piece stainless-steel knife set that has everything you need to chop, cut, and slice your way through every recipe you've ever bookmarked. It has a storage block to keep all your knives in one place and comes with a sharpener so you don't have to deal with dull knives (which make prep work slower and potentially even dangerous).
3. A Ninja air fryer to whip up your favorite snacks with less oil than a traditional fryer. Go ahead and help yourself to the tastiest, crispy chicken wings, roasted vegetables, or enough fries to share with a friend or two.
4. A Vitamix blender with 10 speeds that lets you create smoothies, soups, nut butters, sauces, and more — all with just the press of a button.
5. A Le Creuset Dutch Oven that looks great on any stove or table. But obviously, you're not here for the aesthetic — you're here because it's one of the best ways to cook a wide variety of foods. And you'll be able to impress everyone (including yourself!) when you use it for delicious stews, roasts, soups, and even desserts.
6. A KitchenAid 10-speed stand mixer you'll wish you bought sooner, because you can toss ingredients into the bowl and let it do all the heavy lifting in terms of kneading, whisking, mixing, and whipping.
7. A cordless immersion blender that takes up minimal space in your cabinets and blends up to 25 bowls of soup on a full charge. Now you can enjoy soup season without leaving your home.

9. A stylish polka-dot Kate Spade tea kettle to make your afternoon cup of tea feel like a sophisticated affair. This stainless-steel and enamelware piece is so cute, you won't mind leaving it out on your stovetop.
10. A kitchen scale so you can measure your ingredients to the exact ounce to craft any baked treats. And it will save you from having to eyeball amounts when you don't have the right measuring spoons or cups handy.
11. A 42-piece kitchen utensil set so you never have to use random things you find in your drawer to whisk, grate, flip, spoon, and more. Pretty much any tool you need (or thought you didn't need) in the kitchen is here. Plus, everything is dishwasher safe, so your cleanup is a breeze.
12. A salad spinner that's not only fun to use, but also effectively dries your lettuce so you can enjoy crisp, fresh salads instead of sad, soggy ones.
13. A 17-piece set of nonstick cookware with different sized pots and pans to let you cook the right amount of food for one or a family. And it comes with lids that fit each piece, so you're not trying to balance too-big or too-small lids while cooking.
14. A toaster oven so you can heat up leftovers or bake and broil without having to wait for your entire oven to pre-heat. And it has extra wide bread slots so it doubles as a toaster than can handle bagels or bread from your favorite local bakery.
15. A Calphalon 10-piece nonstick bakeware set to give you all tools you need to make professional looking muffins, cakes, and cookies. Everything is designed to heat evenly so you won't have edges that are overly crispy (AKA burned).
16. An electric can opener that opens both regular and pop-top cans so you don't have to struggle with wrestling a manual opener or worry about cutting your fingers.
17. A countertop pasta maker that will let you impress others (and yourself) when they ask where you got that al dente pappardelle and you can say, "Actually, I handmade it from scratch."

19. An espresso machine to let you enjoy barista-quality coffee drinks without ever having to step outside (or change out of your pajamas).
20. And an electric burr coffee grinder so you can finally enjoy the single-origin coffee beans you bought from your local roaster the way they were meant to be enjoyed.
21. A cast-iron skillet that will become your go-to kitchen tool for decades with the right care. You can use it on the stove, in the oven, or on a grill, and it heats evenly like a dream.
22. An egg poacher to help take the guesswork out of making perfectly runny eggs for your eggs Benedict, or you know, just a casual brunch at home.
23. A Rachael Ray wok that will let you stir fry to your heart's delight. It comes with a lid so you don't have to worry about splatter, and it's also oven safe up to 400 degrees.
24. A ceramic pizza stone to upgrade your pizza nights. It will give your crusts that ideal crisp that's so satisfying to crunch. You'll also get a pizza cutter so you can decide how much of your pizza you're willing to share.
25. A Silpat half-size nonstick baking mat that may change the way you bake (it's also microwave- and freezer-safe). Your food will slide right off the surface after it's cooked, and the mat washes with no effort. Once you're done, you can roll it up and fit it even in the smallest of kitchens.
26. A butane torch to let you craft creme brulees with a gorgeous caramelized top. (By the way, you can also use it to melt marshmallows and cheese, or sear savory dishes).
27. A mini food processor because chopping and grinding is often required in any recipe and it takes valuable time. This convenient machine will save you the hassle (and complain less than any human kitchen helper you enlist).
28. A stainless steel steamer pot that can steam, cook, and strain in one stackable set. It has cool touch handles to protect your hands when you're moving it around the kitchen.
29. A set of rectangular baking dishes you can use to bake casseroles, desserts, meats, and vegetable dishes. And they're so pretty that you can just move your entrees straight from the oven to the table.
30. And a 5-in-1 indoor grill because you may not have a backyard or patio that can fit a BBQ, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying grilled food. Bonus: no smoke smells lingering in your hair or clothes. It's also multitalented and air crisps, bakes, roasts, and dehydrates, too.
