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 hand mixer so you can more efficiently mix up cake batter, shred chicken, and whip cream. It even starts slower, to avoid that annoying splatter making clean up easier too!
2. A silicone basting brush to be sure that no bristles end up shedding onto your food. No one wants to eat ribs that are covered in bristles, no matter how delicious your homemade sauce is!
3. An air fryer-toaster oven because your boring old two-slicer could be doing so much more. Crisp up frozen food, roast veggies, reheat leftovers, and more — all while taking up practically the same amount of counter space.
4. An instant-read food thermometer to ensure your steaks are cooked perfectly to temperature without cutting them open and losing all that glorious juice.
5. A food processor for all your choppin' needs. This puppy will make quick work of basically anything you put into it, whether it's the toughest carrots or the smoothest hummus.
6. An Instant Pot duo cooker so you can harness not only the incredible speedy cooking power of a traditional Instant Pot but also the crisping ability of an air fryer all in one easy-to-use machine. It's the best of both worlds.
7. And a pressure cooker accessories kit that'll let you really make the most of your new toy. These handy bits and bobs will make everything from cooking eggs to making cheesecake so much easier.
8. A Blendjet portable blender because let me tell you, making a smoothie at your desk in this will automatically make you the coolest one in your office, no contest.
9. An egg cooker for making even the quickest weekend breakfasts seem like an indulgent brunch. Just pop them in, press the button, and voila!
10. A cookie scoop so you can ensure perfectly sized dough balls that'll bake up into delicious, even cookies. A regular spoon could never.
11. A hand blender because even if you only use it on soups, I promise it's worth it. Putting hot soup in a blender is messy, difficult, and TBH dangerous. Just jam this in your pot, and blend! No mess, fuss, or risk of explosion.
12. A programmable slow cooker that's truly the definition of "set it and forget it." You can even use it to take food to parties or potlucks, with no worries about spilling pot roast all over the backseat of your car.
13. A cushioned kitchen mat because tiled kitchen floors look nice and are easy to clean, but when it comes to hours cooking in the kitchen, they can be murder on your legs and lower back. With this mat, you'll be able to stand for longer and with less pain so you can finally make that five-course meal you've been dying to try.
14. A FoodSaver system for all those times when you've been swayed by the price of a bulk pack of chicken breasts and then gotten home and not known what to do with them. Worry no more! Just vacuum seal them and rest assured that your freezer will do the rest.
15. A countertop dehydrator so you can preserve fruits that are about to turn, while also saving money on banana chips and fruit leather. It's a win-win!
16. A kitchen tool and gadget set to help set up a new grad with their first kitchen tools or replace your old mismatched ones with a nicer, more coordinated version.
17. A tortilla warmer because there's nothing quite as disappointing as trying to wrap a cold, breakable tortilla shell around your beautiful, delicious burrito fillings. You can pop it right in the microwave, and it'll keep your tortillas warm and pliable for up to an hour, so you won't have to reheat them when you go back for seconds.
18. A hands-free can opener that just takes one turn around the lid and pops it off. No effort required (my three favorite words)!
19. A rice cooker with a smart "keep warm" function that'll allow you to have delicious fluffy rice at any time of the day (or night) and not overcook it when you accidentally forget about it.
20. A stainless-steel knife set because good knives are a cook's most important tool. These are sharp enough that you can be precise in your cuts, while also sturdy enough to chop through just about anything.
21. And a knife sharpener to go with it so you can make sure they stay in good shape! Dull knives are hard to cut with and far more likely to cause an injury, so be sure to refresh their edges regularly.
22. A pair of silicone tongs that, TBH, are more useful than a spatula. You can use them to flip, stir, sauté, and more, with way more precision and control.
23. A single serve coffee maker that allows you to grind your beans fresh, so you can ensure the most flavorful morning brew every time your in-laws come into town and you end up having to cook a gourmet brunch for them. Caffeine is calling.
24. A digital food scale because if there's one thing I've learned from watching many hours of The Great British Bake Off it's that all the really talented bakers weigh their ingredients for the ultimate precision.
25. A tiered spice rack so all your seasonings are visible and right at your fingertips — no more sorting through a bajillion tiny bottles just to find the cumin.
26. A set of magnetic measuring cups you can stack perfectly in order, so you'll never go searching fruitlessly through your drawer for the half cup ever again.
27. A KitchenAid stand mixer that's a classic for a reason: whether you're mixing, whipping, kneading, or shredding, it has the horsepower to make your job as easy as pie. Even if you're just making some cookies.
28. And a slicer and shredder attachment for the stand mixer, so you'll never again have to worry about accidentally including a little bit of your fingertips in the shredded cheese after you've done battle with a box grater.
29. A pair of kitchen shears because the crafters in your house will Come After You™ if you use their nice scissors to cut herbs again. Or so I've been told.
30. A silicone baking mat that will keep your pans clean, your food cooked, and the environment happy. Roast your veggies right on the mat, give it a rinse with soap and water after, and then toss it in the cupboard to wait until you need it next.
