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 toaster oven broiler with a built-in air fryer to bake, broil, toast, and fry with less oil and all in one place — so less mess.
2. A powerful Ninja blender sturdy and stable enough for you to walk away from it without it spraying your kitchen with blueberry purée.
3. A KitchenAid stand mixer to keep all your mixing and kneading to a single bowl.
4. An Instant Pot to make just about anything — stew, pasta, rice, steamed veggies, yogurt, etc. — in one go.
5. A set of kitchen tools and gadgets that, you guessed it, are dishwasher-safe.
6. A digital kitchen scale with a glass plate for easy wipe-down after use.
7. A nonskid box grater to avoid slips that result in cheese shreds all over the counter, on the floor, and, inexplicably, in our hair.
8. A set of stackable colanders to replace the motley crew of colanders cluttering your cupboards — so you have more space for your commemorative Mötley Crüe coffee mugs.
9. A pre-seasoned cast-iron skillet that will convince you, once and for all, that cast iron is not that hard to clean. Seriously, soap and water, people.
10. A cast-iron Dutch oven for making pot roasts, stews, and certain breads (we're looking at you, sourdough) without the typical residue left on less sturdy pots and pans.
11. A nonstick cake pan for birthday parties at which at least one thing isn't a mess. Sorry we can't say the same about the carpet.
12. A set of color-coded knives with blade guards to better ensure you avoid cross-contamination — unless you want to use the same knife you sliced onions with for cutting the pineapple.
13. An electric carving knife for demonstrative holiday turkey chop-ups that don't result in disgruntled guests — at least insofar as food bits landing on them is concerned.
14. A dishwasher-safe roaster pan for meals and, when not in use, hiding your stash (of cookies).
15. A nonstick grill pan for grilling meats, vegetables, and seafood, as well as hot sandwiches and paninis — just not all at once, necessarily.
16. A motion sensor trashcan to anticipate and accommodate your hurried disposal of the yuck from the kitchen sink strainer — without your needing to touch the lid.
17. A 40-piece set of food storage containers to tidily put away all your leftovers — and no, it does not make sense that any of your four-alarm chili would be left over after book club.
18. A set of canisters to securely and attractively house your baking ingredients like sugar, flour, more flour, raisins, jelly beans — you get the idea.
19. A vacuum sealer system to safely store your foodstuffs for future consumption — like, three-years-hence future consumption.
20. A spice rack with jars of spices included to centralize and organize what would otherwise be a drawer full of mismatched, random, and likely expired spice containers — including the misleading "allspice."
21. A raised cake stand with a glass cover to both show off and keep fresh your baked goods, freeing up a bit of counter space for more culinary adventures.
22. A 20-piece set of kitchen towels and pot holders so you're not pulling hot pans out of the oven using a kitchen towel or wiping down counters with an oven mitt because that's all you have on hand.
23. An electric tea kettle so you're not devoting a burner on the stove to heating up water. Use that spot to cook something already!
24. A set of three cutting boards to, again, avoid cross-contamination — you don't want to cut up vegetables you're serving fresh on the same cutting board you just quartered a chicken on.
25. A bread maker because doing it the old-timey way involves way too much work — not to mention mess. Oh, wait — we mentioned the mess. So anyway, bread makers are way tidier.
26. A countertop pizza oven that does way more than just pizza, providing you more flexibility in terms of what (if anything) goes in the oven — which is always a PITA to clean.
27. A nonstick broiler pan to catch drippings from the stuff you're baking much more effectively than that gross sheet of aluminum foil you installed in 2017.
28. A nonstick Bundt pan for smooth extractions of your cakes and limited post-slide cleanup.
29. A splatter screen with odor-absorbing powers to keep the sights and smells of your exuberant cooking from permeating the walls.
30. A spoon rest to save you the 20 to 30 seconds you invariably spend scrubbing the stove top where you left your cooking spoon for all that time you were supposed to be stirring. Risotto doesn't make itself!
31. Silicone oven mitts for when you need intense heat protection and maybe even liquid resistance. No judgments — it's not always easy to pull a skillet full of boiling stuff out of the oven without giving yourself third-degree burns.
32. A silicone pastry mat to keep all your intricate patisserie work tidy — and that applies to the pastries as well as your workspace!
