1. A Nespresso Vertuo coffee and espresso maker if plain ol' instant coffee just doesn't do it for ya anymore. It'll brew both coffee or espresso depending on which pod you put in for an oh-so-delicious morning pick me up.
It comes with a 40-oz. removable water tank!
I have a Nespresso Vertuo and it has probably been the greatest investment I have ever made. Granted it may be a tad bit expensive, but in the long run you may just be saving money (if you NEED an iced latte every day). Plus it definitely beats having to leaving my apartment way too early to get my morning fix when all I have to do is put in a new pod, press the brew button, and wait around a minute for it to brew!
Personally, I'm a latte girlie so I usually use espresso pods (these are my faves btw), but you can put also put in a coffee pod. Based on the size of the pod, it'll know how much to brew automatically. P.S. there are three different sizes for coffee and four different sizes for espresso.
Promising review: "I like iced coffee with high caffeine. This fits the bill perfectly and is a joy to use and drink. My Starbucks monthly bill has come down considerably after buying this unit, and I'm ready to hit the ground running that much sooner in the morning. I especially enjoy the self cleaning feature and the ability to run it for smaller or larger cup sizes. Truly a premium product." —David T.
Get it from Amazon for $194.99+ (available in three colors, plus in bundle options with the Aeroccino milk frother).
2. And a rapid cold brew maker for the "iced coffee only" drinker who needs *a lot* of it. It makes 40 ounces of joe in under NINE minutes and you'll be able to choose from three different strength settings depending on how late you stayed up the night before bingeing your fave TV show.
Check out a TikTok of the rapid cold brew maker in action.
Promising review: "I like cold brew year-round and this may be my favorite method/machine yet! It’s so easy to assemble, use, and clean. In about 15 minutes I was impressed with how rich and bold the brew was, with no grounds like others I’ve tried. It looks great on my kitchen counter. It’s lightweight and stable with the base suction cups. It makes a little noise but much less than I expected (and less than my Nespresso machine)." —Liz
Get it from Amazon for $147.15.
3. A slim magnetic stove shelf if you have very limited counter space for your spices and seasonings. Just place it on top of your stove so you have direct access to all the necessities.
StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in shelves for various sizes of stoves.
Check out a Tiktok of the StoveShelf in action!
Promising review: "This is perfect and I’m obsessed. Where has this contraption been all my life? We basically freed up the cabinet above the stove where we messily stored our spices/oils and such. Now, the things we use the most are right in front of us. And more things fit than expected! Like our olive oil dispenser, nonstick cooking spray, a whole canister of sea salt. Also it’s magnetic so you literally just snap it on to your oven. This was the biggest bang for your buck sort of organization product I’ve gotten for my kitchen!" —Katie M.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in three finishes).
4. An investment-worthy KitchenAid stand mixer that your poor forearms are begging you to get. You can mix quite literally anything in this baby — from cookie dough to burger patties! Plus it'll look absolutely ~gorgeous~ on your counter.
The 10-speed mixer comes with a flat beater, a coated dough hook, a six-wire whip, a bowl and bowl lid, and a pouring shield. The 5-quart stainless-steel bowl can mix dough for nine dozen cookies or four loaves of bread in a single batch!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has to say about it: "I have this particular mixer in the Ice color and honestly can't imagine living without it now — it takes all the manual effort out of whisking ingredients and saves you a bit of time as you can work on other things while it's blending. If you've been on the fence about getting a KitchenAid, let this be the final nudge you needed to pull the trigger."
Promising review: "I have owned a KitchenAid mixer for well over 20 years and just upgraded to this one. We redid the kitchen and my accent color is aqua so this looks spectacular sitting on my counter. I wanted a little more power and this is perfect for me. I do a lot of baking so I couldn't live without a KitchenAid mixer. I also have the spiralizer and pasta making attachments. This is a work horse! I will never use anything but a KitchenAid." —T Jaye Brand
Get it from Amazon for $379.95 (available in 23 colors).
5. A 10-piece utensil set so you can finally have a spatula that matches your ladle. Each utensil has a silicone head to prevent scratches on your pots and pans and they just look so darn sleek!
Karibe is a Black-owned small business that sells durable cookware from New Jersey. This set of utensils should be hand-washed!
Promising review: "I’ve used these beautiful utensils daily for nearly a year and am back to order a second set for our lake cabin. The wood and silicone are of exceptionally high quality, easily withstanding frequent use, and they’re an absolute delight to use. They’d also be the perfect gift for someone setting up a new home." —Keryn
Get the 10-piece set from Karibe for $45.99.
6. An absolutely beautiful set of handblown colored wineglasses that'll add a pop of color to your next dinner party!
Estelle Colored Glass is a Black woman–owned small business offering luxury glassware that's vintage-inspired.
Promising review: "I had heard about these and was happy to see them at Anthro. Beautiful. Yes, they are pricey, but they are stunning and unique. Can’t wait to entertain with them." —Jenniferinsd1
Get the set of six from Anthropologie (available in three styles) or Estelle for $185.
7. And a wine decanter to truly give your at-home bar a classy upgrade. It'll aerate your vino and have it tasting even better than before!
After being kept in an airtight bottle, your wine needs to breathe. Pouring into a wine carafe releases its natural aromas and flavors for better taste!
Promising review: "My family loves this decanter. It improves the taste of all kinds of wines and looks very nice when displayed. It is much cheaper than many $100 or $200 decanters while looking and working just as nicely. While these can be a bit tricky to clean, I've been using a quick trick to make it look like new! 1) Rinse with warm water (if you have time, let it soak for an hour). 2) Fill about 1 centimeter with salt and add 2 centimeters of white wine vinegar. 3) Swirl the solution and CAREFULLY shake if stains are higher up. 4) Rinse with warm water. That should get your decanter ready for the next bottle! Hope this helps!" —Jackson L.
Get it from Amazon for $57.49.
8. The famous nonstick ceramic Always Pan (the 2.0 version!) that's made with nontoxic ceramic materials. You'll be able to replace up to 10 pieces of boring ol' cookware because this bad boy can do it all! The best part? The ~eye-catching~ colors they come in.
It comes with a steamer basket, pouring spout, and a nesting spatula with a rest. You can even put it in the oven — talk about versatility! What makes the 2.0 version different? They've upgraded the nonstick to last 50% longer and it's oven-safe to 450 degrees!
Our Place is a POC-owned business based in Los Angeles. All of their boxes are packaged with biodegradable and recyclable materials, and the Always Pan is made in a woman-owned factory in China.
Promising review: "My always pan is going to be my new favorite cooking ware. Super versatile and absolutely beautiful. Love the functionality that it possesses and the versatility range, someone really thought about all the best way to cook with this! Safe, easy to clean, and beautiful to look at! Makes you want to cook more delicious meals all day long! Shipping took a while because I preordered, but I was happy to wait!" —Celyn V.
Get it from Our Place for $150 (available in 11 colors and also in mini and large).

9. A set of stunning vintage-looking glass coffee mugs so you can sip on your latte or tea while feeling oh-so-fancy — pinkies up! They're embossed with such beautiful patterns and even come with matching gold spoons.
Promising review: "These are so cute and look like an Anthropologie [version] for a fraction of the price!" —corriescott
Get the set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors).
10. A Le Creuset enameled cast-iron braiser that comes with a hefty price tag but is *totally* worth the splurge. This gorgeous piece of cookware will be your go-to when cooking or even baking, especially because it prevents sticking or stains. It can make casseroles, fried chicken, stew, cake — the list is endless!
Promising review: "If you're looking for Le Creuset quality, this delivers. The enamel is an excellent cooking surface and very easy to clean. The braiser is thick and the lid fits well. The color is nice and looks like the pictures. I use this every day. I've purchased cheap Dutch ovens before, and this definitely stands well above the competition. Worth the money." —JasonC
Get it from Amazon for $289.95+ (available in 14 colors and three sizes).
11. A set of food storage jars so you can organize all your pastas, grains, and cereal while making your pantry or countertop ~aesthetically pleasing~. Say goodbye to half-empty cardboard boxes and hello to these gorgeous airtight glass jars.
*Especially* if there are certain ingredients you like to leave out on the counter (like coffee and sugar), this keeps them close at hand while maintaining a nice aesthetic!
Promising review: "I recently upgraded my kitchen storage game with these fabulous glass containers with bamboo lids, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. These containers have not only elevated the aesthetics of my pantry, but also contributed to my sustainability efforts. I am pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the glass, as well as the tightly sealed lids." —Caroline
Get the seven-pack from Amazon for $26.99 (also available in other packs and sizes).
12. A digital smart toaster that comes with six preset bread types to toast your carb treat to delicious perfection, without drying it out. It has three toasting modes and seven shades so your bagel or english muffin can get the perfect ~crunch~.
Promising review: "Of course, TikTok made me buy it! LOL! But seriously, it looks great in my newly remodeled kitchen and really cooks/toasts/warms up my breads, waffles, and bagels perfectly and evenly! I've had some really cheap toasters in my time and have always been disappointed with the uneven toasting because one of the elements within the toaster burnt out, etc. This toaster is super smart, and you can clearly see when your food is about to be done. There's three settings (warm, fresh, frozen) for toasting so your food is always cooked to perfection! The animated circle around on display when cooking lets you know know how far along your food is to being done. An audible sound plays when it's done so you don't have to keep watching it. When you're not using the toaster, the time displays. Where I have it in my kitchen, it's nice to have the time on that side of the room without having to turn around and look at my oven. The aesthetics are very nice and complementary since all my appliances are stainless steel. It gives my kitchen this extra zhuzh in the place! I've been using it now for several months and have no complaints!" —ADR
Get it from Amazon for $325+ (available in two colors and with a panini press).
13. Or a space-saving, compact Ninja Foodi 2-in-1 Flip Toaster to use as a traditional toaster *AND* an oven — say whaaat!? You can toast your bagels and bread and then flip it over to make pizza rolls, nuggets, or grilled cheese. We love a product that can do it all.
Promising review: "This toaster has become a must-have in my kitchen. Want a grilled cheese? Throw it in at 350 degrees for eight minutes and come back when the timer is done! Want pizza rolls? 350 degrees for 10 minutes and then they’re done. This thing is so convenient and I love it when a device can do two or more things in one small package. Highly recommend!" —Ryan Chrum
Get it from Amazon for $119.99.
14. A compact pasta maker because nothing beats fresh pasta, especially when you make it yourself with this easy-to-use machine. All you have to do is put in the ingredients and it'll mix and shape it for you!
It comes with shaping discs for spaghetti, fettucini, and penne. Plus, there's an included recipe book for meal inspiration.
Promising review: "I was just as skeptical as you are. I, too, have been doing the old school — make the dough, roll it out, run it through a pasta machine, etc. — method. It's a production, all for AMAZING pasta. With this, you put the ingredients in, push a button, and watch for AMAZING pasta to be extruded. I had hoped I'd be able to multitask a bit more, but it extrudes so fast there isn't much time for other tasks between cutting it. But I think that seems reasonable. The other thing to consider is that you have to be VERY exact with the measurements of the ingredients. I've found weighing them works best. The recipes in the included book work great. Don't use other pasta recipes not developed for this machine unless you are up for some experimentation. The dough will be drier than the traditional method and has to be to feed through the auger and extrude properly. So it also does take a bit longer to cook than traditional fresh pasta, but when it's done it's that same amazing taste and texture!" —Conversio
Get it from Amazon for $177+ (available in two colors).
15. A Bartesian Premium Cocktail and Margarita Machine to make a drink — or a few — at home. Imagine having a marg on standby, without dealing with a crowded bar or having to flag down a bartender (ahh paradise). Just fill up the reservoirs with your fave liquors and pop in a cocktail capsule for a delicious bev!
Options include everything from margaritas, whiskey sours, and Old Fashioneds, and the machine even self-cleans at the end of each cocktail to prevent flavors from leaking into other drinks. You can even use the touchscreen at the top to choose your strength!
Promising review: "Finally made the purchase (TikTok did it...brilliant marketing!) as a gift to my wife. The packaging was great. Was delivered one day early and very quick. We are really enjoying the machine and sharing it with friends. Overall feels a bit pricey, but well worth it considering the fun, variety and novelty. The drinks are good!" —Pepstero
Get it from Amazon for $314.99.
16. A compact, low-noise ice maker that's perfect if you love to drink iced everything. This nifty lil machine makes nine ice cubes in just seven minutes so you no longer have to wait for hours for your ice cubes to solidify in the freezer! Plus it'll alert you whenever you need to refill the water or when it needs a cleaning.
Promising review: "We desperately needed a way to have more ice at our summer home, and this was the best purchase we’ve made to fix this! So easy to use and continually makes ice all day like we want it. We put the ice into the freezer as it continues to make it, so we never run out! So much better than constantly making trips to the gas station and spending money on bags of ice! So worth the purchase!" —Jackie
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
17. A quick-heating Fellow electric kettle so you can finally throw away your 10-year-old kettle and replace it with this sleek, gooseneck one. With this, you can set your exact temperature *and* leave it on for an hour, aka no! more! lukewarm! drinks! "Hey Alexa, cue 'Fancy' by Iggy."
Promising review: "We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and having to heat it up again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." —Emily A.
Get it from Fellow for $195 (available in 11 colors and styles) or from Amazon for $165+ (available in six styles).
18. Some ridiculously beautiful Porter Seal-Tight Glass Containers because you deserve to eat your leftovers from a pretty container. Since they're leakproof, you'll be able to tote around your favorite foods without the fear of spilling everywhere!
The jars are BPA-free, as well as microwave and dishwasher safe.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says: "Before working from home became the norm, I would use these handy jars to bring my lunch almost every day. They're perfect for things like fruit, salad, or something saucy — stuff you really don't want to get squished *and* want to ensure doesn't leak into your bag. *But* I have found that I use them just as much at home full-time! They are of course great for leftovers, but also for prepped ingredients for the week. Shredded cheese, prepped chicken, and chopped veggies usually live in these, ready to be utilized for a quick lunch or snack. They clean *super* well — I even have the cream color and it recovered from storing beets! 10/10 from me."
Get them from Amazon for $24.58+ each (available in three sizes and seven colors).
19. An automatic spice grinder so your poor forearms can take a break from the endless twisting and turning. Just press the button and it'll automatically grind salt, pepper, rosemary, or any other seasonings for you. The pods are interchangeable so you can switch 'em out for other spices, use them for storage, and prevent flavor cross contamination!
BTW — this grinder is battery-operated, so make sure to get a few AA batteries, too!
Promising reviews: "Nothing like freshly ground spices to add a little snap to your cooking. The pods snap on and off with ease and the grind size is very easy to adjust from barely ground to pulverized....The ability to group commonly used spices together in threes and carry them across the kitchen or outside to the grill just adds to the usability." —Todd Tittle
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in six colors; comes with grinder and two interchangeable pods).
20. A Ninja Creami to whip up a homemade frozen treat. If you're bored of regular flavors, you can make quite literally *any* concoction in this baby. It doesn't just have to be ice cream either — you can whip up some gelato, sorbet, and even milkshakes to fulfill that sweet tooth of yours.
Check out a TikTok of the Ninja Creami in action.
All you have to do to create a delicious snack is put your favorite foods into the containers and freeze them. After 24 hours in the freezer, you hook it up, select the appropriate preset, and *boom* you have frozen deliciousness. Bonus, the containers, lids, and paddle are top-rack dishwasher safe.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jessica Hall has to say about it: "As a wannabe fitness girly, I have started paying a bit more attention to the foods I eat, specifically in terms of how much protein I eat. I find it to be somewhat difficult to consume my full day's worth of protein, and I am not a huge fan of protein bars or protein shakes. I decided to give this thing a try after seeing it literally all over TikTok and how people were making lower calorie protein ice cream in it. The TikTok influencers are *not* lying, you should absolutely get this thing. It comes with little pints, you mix up all your ingredients, pop it in the freezer for 24 hours and then put it in the machine. It legit makes a delicious treat with such a ~creamy~ texture. I have found my best recipe so far is a vanilla protein shake, a little bit of sugar free pudding mix (the fats in it help the texture…at least that's what the Internet told me, so obvi I believe it), and a dash of vanilla extract. Once that's all mixed, I'll throw in some Oreos or M&Ms to have myself a high protein version of a McFlurry. You can also make delicious smoothie bowls, sorbets, milkshakes, and more. I definitely imagine I'll be using it even more often in the summer when it's hot and I want something cold and refreshing."
Promising review: "Everyone needs a Ninja Creami. We love ours! I have made cherry, banana, raspberry, and blueberry sorbets plus churro and chocolate ice cream. The recipe book is full of easy-to-make recipes. Easy to clean and simple to use. Just push a button and then a minute later you have ice cream!" —julie krueger
Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in two versions and five colors).
21. And a Ninja Thirsti Drink System for anyone who refuses to drink unflavored, still water. This baby turns water into a bubbly, fruity-flavored drink with just a push of a few buttons.
I have one of these in my home and let me tell you, it is an absolute game changer. I used to buy sparkling water every day and it reaaally added up. With this I can choose how fizzy I want my drink, whatever flavors I want, and how intense I want it! IMHO, the best part is the variety of flavors it comes in and the benefits they have! The starter pack comes with caffeine, electrolyte, vitamin, and unsweetened flavor drops and they all taste DELICIOUS. You can even mix two flavors together! Plus, it's super easy to make and takes about a minute — just fill up the water reservoir, set your preferences, and press start. This is the BEST investment for carbonated drink fanatics out there! Sometimes when I run out of flavor drops, I'll use Mio after my water is carbonated and it tastes just as yummy!
Promising review: "Ninja Thirsti Drink System is such an awesome innovation!! First off, Ninja is an AMAZING brand. Quality is everything, let alone technology! The Thirsti Drink System is cute and does not take up space! Can convert any Drink to carbonation!! AMAZING!" —NN2109
22. A Levo II herbal oil and butter infusion machine because the best part about going to a restaurant is dipping free bread into that *delicious* oil blend (and always asking for seconds, thirds — just keep it coming). Now you can have endless amounts at home without having to ask for more dip!
P.S. you can even make soaps, bath bombs, and ~infused~ brownies or gummies with the Levo. All you have to do is fill the herb pod and set your dry or activation cycle, add oil or butter, set your infuse cycle, dispense, and enjoy.
Levo is a woman-owned small business founded in 2016 by Chrissy Bellman and based in Denver, Colorado.
Promising review: "We love our Levo II! Can't imagine a better way to spend time than learning how to make my own infused oils that help our whole family, whatever the need. Want to add zest to a recipe? Make a concoction to help your loved one sleep? Try a new salad dressing without the mess? Whatever the need, Levo II will help make an oil, a botanical, a new soap, tea or a lotion that is perfect. The app is abundant with recipes and ideas, so I feel supported with each and every step. East fast clean up. End to end customer experience is exceptional!" —Kendall E. Coleman
Get it from Amazon for $299 (available in five colors).
23. An electric matcha maker that'll grind, whisk, and mix tea leaves for you. You can customize the strength and have the option to drink your matcha straight or in latte form! Plus doesn't it just look so sleek?
Cuzen Matcha is an Asian-owned small business with the goal to make authentic, fresh matcha available in homes all over the world in a sustainable way.
I have one of these gizmos and I'm still amazed by it every single time I use it. The measuring cup on the bottom comes with a magnetized whisk that swirls around as the machine grinds the matcha leaves from the top. I used to go buy matcha lattes a few times a week and wow, did that really add up. This lil machine has saved me so much money, and not to mention time, because it makes my lattes in just five minutes!
Promising review: "This machine will change my life, not only health-wise but also saving money from buying so many matcha lattes from cafes. Obviously, for the price point, you want incredible matcha, and let me tell you, this product is worth every penny. ... The design is beautiful. It’s the most beautiful device I have in my apartment, but the most impressive thing is how quickly it creates a perfect and delicious shot of matcha. I like my matcha strong so the 2x strength is beyond perfect for me. I can drink the premium blend straight, and it tastes smooth and not bitter. Watching the machine do its thing is so much fun. Knowing that it’s grinding the leaves and then producing fresh matcha powder is so cool and fun, and when you drink it, you know you’re experiencing this tea the way it was meant to be experienced." —Lisa , Cuzen Matcha Customer
Get it from Cuzen Matcha or from Amazon for $299.
24. A stuffed waffle maker because the only thing better than a waffle is one filled with jam. Or PB. Or NUTELLA!!! P.S. you can make savory treats too if those are more your speed.
Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" —Adirondackdarling
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
25. An Instant Pot that can basically do it all — it's called a 7-in-1 for a reason. It can serve as a pressure cooker, rice cooker, and can even make yogurt. Did I mention that it also has 11 one-touch options for delicious ribs, soups, and more!? The world isn't your oyster, this Instant Pot is.
Psst...check out all of the reviewers' photos to see all the yummy meals you can make!
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —Stereoman
Get it from Amazon for $83.99+ (available in three sizes).
26. Brightland's Duo olive oil set because reviewers say these pack so much more flavor compared to what you find in your average grocery store. Whip up a romantic date night meal with this oil and treat your boo and your tastebuds!
The Awake olive oil is best used for roasting, sautéing, soups, stews, and bread, and the Alive olive oil is designed for salads, hummus, baked goods, fresh greens, and bread.
Brightland is a WOC-owned small business that sources olives for their oils from a family-run farm in California.
Promising review: "I have yet to find another olive oil with better flavor than Brightland. I find myself making meals specifically just to use this lovely olive oil. It is a total game changer. Say goodbye to that nasty bitter flavor that comes with most commercial oils, and hello to an explosion of flavors and spice. Ordering and shipping are always a breeze, you can also easily adjust the subscription to suit your needs. I’m so happy to have found this product, it honestly makes everything taste better." —Jen
Get it from Brightland or Amazon for $74.
27. A gorgeous, compact Beast blender so you can whip up your favorite concoctions in a jiffy with just a push of a button — it runs on a one-minute timer! This baby just looks so sleek and modern, you'll never want to store it away in a cabinet.
P.S. The blending bowl also doubles as a portable thermos and comes with a screw-on drinking lid and carry cap.
Here's what former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Brittany Ross has to say about it: "I got this blender over the summer, and wow, as someone who had firmly decided I was an 'I don't need a blender' person, I quickly changed my mind after the first use. For starters, it's not as large as those super industrial-strength blenders, and it's so aesthetically pleasing that I have it out on my counter at all times. Plus, it couldn't be easier to use — just fill the bowl with your ingredients, pulse, and in a matter of ~moments~ you'll have a perfectly uniform blend of whatever you're trying to blitz. I first tried it out on a smoothie made with frozen bananas and peaches (see it in action on TikTok here!) and it pulverized the icy fruit like a champ. Best of all? It's a total breeze to clean, which, if I'm being honest, was probably the biggest factor in my having waited so long to add a blender to my kitchen arsenal. I can't recommend it enough, 15/10, no notes."
Get it from Amazon for $165.75+ (available in three colors).
28. A Caraway cookware set because all your pans are scratched and all your pots are dented. These are ceramic coated, nontoxic, and nonstick — plus the set also comes with storage. Is this a splurge? Yes. But is it worth it? YES!!!
This set comes with a 10.5-inch fry pan, a 3-quart sauce pan and lid, a 4.5-quart sauté pan and a lid, a 6.5-quart Dutch oven and a lid, and storage for the pans and lids. This cookware set is safe to use on induction, gas, and electric stovetops, is oven safe in temps of up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, made with non-toxic coating, and features non-stick ceramic an aluminum core, and stainless steel handles.
Here's what former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Suazo has to say about it: "These nonstick pans are unlike any cookware out there. Yeah yeah, I know, I am sure you've read something similar about some other pot — but when I say I think there was sorcery involved in creating these, I mean it! For starters, how dare they create a system with storage needs! in! mind! The set comes with a strong-as-heck lid organizer that sticks to the cabinet. There are three pockets for the accompanying lids that conveniently slide right in. Like, who knows what to do with lids?! They take up so much unnecessary space, but with the Caraway set, they can just hang out on the cabinet door. The set also includes four MAGNETIC pan racks that stick together and hold each pan up, keeping them safe from scratches. Amazing. These are the things that get my adult blood flowing.
Now...moving on to my favorite part of these bad boys. The ceramic coating is made with a nontoxic, mineral-based coating so your food doesn't soak up any toxins during cooking. Although, I am pretty sure it's actually made with magic, because literally nothing sticks to these pans. Really — I've cooked in these countless times, making a variety of different dishes, and no food has ever gotten stuck or burnt on.
I could go on and on about the wonders of this beautiful pan set, but I will just leave you with this: If you're in the market for a new set, consider Caraway. While it is on the pricier side, their high-quality, nontoxic pans and storage system make it worth every. single. penny."
Get it from Amazon or Caraway for $395 (available in eight colors).
29. A nonstick sectioned skillet so you can minimize cooking time and cleaning time — which I know can be your kryptonite if you're feeling lazy.
It features five compartments, only requires one burner, is stain-resistant. Plus, it features double-layer nonstick coating that is PFOA-free. It's both oven- and dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "Now that I have cooked a few meals with this pan, I can honestly say that I will no longer be needing all my other pans. It just does it all. Cooking several ingredients at the same time and then infusing them together to mix the flavors is something that I have never been able to do before. Keep the pan at a medium heat to always get the best cook, because foods cook differently, and you can take your time in preparing your meal. I recommend this to pretty much anyone that likes to cook and mostly to the ones that dread it!" —Dan S
Get it from Amazon for $59.32.
30. A smart meat thermometer because cooking meat to perfection is just. so. difficult. Well, this little thing connects to your phone through the Meater app, which tells you how long and at what temperature to cook your selected meat at for a specific doneness. It'll read you the temperature and deliver it right on your phone — and can withstand temps up to 527 degrees F!
It works for meats cooked in the smoker, grill, rotisserie, oven, pan, and air fryer!
Promising review: "The Meater works so well, you hardly have to do anything while you cook any sort of meat. Once it alerts you the meat is ready, you remove it from any heat and when the app says you’re ready to dig in, there’s no second guessing whether or not your meat is fully cooked. No under/overcooking with this, it’s perfect EVERY time. Couldn’t be more happy with this product and app." —Pam Walter

31. A nonslip clear cutting board that you can just leave on your counter so you don't have to keep bringing out your giant, bulky one every time you want to cut fruit.
Promising review: "This piece is beautiful. I love how it's clear and shows what is underneath. I can have it on my counter all the time and it looks to be part of the kitchen. I've chopped many things on it and I have no scratches. Very easy to clean." —Amazon Customer

32. A tortilla press kit because the only thing better than street tacos are 100% homemade tacos (especially if they're al pastor IMO). These are made in Mexico out of old Singer sewing machines, which are cast iron, so you just know they'll last long.

33. A cutting board prep station so you can chop and store ingredients all in one place. Who's up next on the chopping block? Def not you after using this 2-in-1!
Promising review: "I purchased this product because I do a lot of food prep and have challenges placing prepared cuttings into containers. This unique cutting board allows me to cut various foods and slide them through an opening directly into a sealable plastic container. the time savings and organization allows for faster prep time. The bamboo board works well for this purpose." —N Hara
