1. A seven-piece knife set, each made with matrix powder steel and a fused design (the handle and blade are one solid piece). The first time you cook with these you're gonna know splurge-worthy knives are truly a ~cut~ above the rest.
2. A genius tofu press so you can efficiently drain tofu to get the perfect texture and taste, mess not included.
3. A bottle of ultra-fancy olive oil with smooth tasting notes of nut, green tomato, and green pear that's sure to turn a simple plate of pasta into sheer perfection.
4. A partyclette for cold nights when a hearty, warm meal sounds sensational. Remind me, who is the ~cheesiest~ chef in your home? That's right, YOU are!
5. A mandolin slicer with a precision grip handle and safety cap that'll help you chop 'til you drop, with no worries of a single cut or nick. You're about to become a prep cook professional.
6. And a rotary peeler with the choice of three different blade types, for perfectly peeling all your favorite fruits and vegetables — helping you ~produce~ some seriously impressive slices.

8. A bestselling pair of kitchen shears for anyone who realized they've been doing their prep work all wrong after watching Always Be My Maybe.
9. A professional cream whipper that'll fill your dessert-loving heart to the brim (much like the bowl of whipped cream you eat after getting this).

11. A craft wok – it's gonna keep you from feeling ~fried~ while making stir fry. Tiny pans just don't cut it!
12. A pizza stone so you can improve on your delivery pizza life. Get ready to become a true crust-texture snob, because the results from this pizza stone ~rock~.
13. A DIY kimchee kit for making probiotic-rich kimchee at home. This step-by-step kit is a great way to give you confidence in the kitchen and, after your first batch, the tools are there for you every time you get a hankering for some delectable sour cabbage.

18. A cake slicer so you can easily serve up perfect portions of your famous cake, because we all know that smushing a wine glass into a cake (trend-setting as it may be) doesn't exactly leave a cake looking lovely.
19. A fancy kitchen scale to make your kitchen look VERY professional — your parents will constantly ~weigh in~ on who got you to be so grown-up.
20. A bread maker that'll help you bake perfect loaves of bread using only one container. The partially closed design allows steam to circulate to keep your bread from drying out, while the openings on the side help heat disperse evenly, creating a golden crust. This lil' tool will help you ~rise~ to the occasion any time an occasion calls for baked bread.
21. A compact air fryer, because if roaming around on TikTok has taught you anything, it's that air fryers are gonna be the new ovens. Ovens are out, people. Sooo old school.

23. And an herb stripper so you can easily separate each herb from its stem, cutting your prep-time in half.
24. An Always Pan designed with a slippery nonstick surface, a vented top, a steaming basket, and a wooden spoon that hooks onto the handle for folks who want a pan that truly does it all.

30. A hot chocolate kit with a handmade ceramic mug and molinillo and Oaxacan chocolate tablets — with these tools, even your desserts can be handcrafted.
31. And finally, a smoking cloche — a suuuper snazzy way to infuse unique flavors into food and drinks. This is gonna prove your cooking skills are ~smokin'~ hot.
