This model has a window so you can see how much water is left in it, four keep warm settings so you always have water ready at just the right temperature, and three quick mode temperatures, so that even after the machine has been off awhile hot water is only a minute or so away.
My darling partner bought me one for Valentine's day last year and I am ~obsessed~. I had no idea I could drink so much tea, but since I don't have to wait ten minutes for the kettle to boil anymore, there's nothing left to stop me.
Promising review "This is our third Zorjirushi water heater over 17 years. The first one lasted seven years and the second one is 16 years old and still works. We fell in love with them when we lived in Taiwan and brought two back with us. It is great to have lettering that we can read. The old ones were in Chinese!" —Axaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxa

This 10-cup rice cooker makes up to 20 cups of cooked rice and includes special functions for three different consistencies of white rice (regular/sushi, softer, and harder), mixed rice, porridge, sweet, semi-brown, rinse-free and quick-cooking. It also comes with a spherical pan for better cooking, with stay-cool handles so you don't burn taking your rice from the countertop to the dining table.
Yes, I have one of these too, and I absolutely love it. It really does make perfect rice, every time.
Promising review: "It's easy to use and makes perfect rice every time! Large and well-made." —Terry

The sandwich maker takes about five minutes from start to finish. The top and bottom layers toast your bread, and the removable center plate bakes your egg to delicious perfection. Slide the plate out and, boom, sandwich time!
Bodega cat not included.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this little sandwich maker! As a matter of fact, I'm eating one as I write this review. Makes a delicious breakfast sandwich in under five minutes! Clean up is a breeze due to the nonstick cooking surfaces. Great value!" —Charles
Price: $24.99 (originally $30)
Isn't silicone amazing?! The pan is BPA-free, reusable, microwave and oven safe, and safe to put in the dishwasher. Some reviewers use it as a liner for a metal muffin pan, but it can also be used on its own.
Promising review: "These work well and the price was better than others. They are a *little* awkward getting out of a hot oven as they lack the rigidity of metal, but we would definitely buy these again for the great price. Everything pops out of them so easily! Washes fine in dishwasher. Just need to use caution removing items from oven." —Jane
Price: $9.02
Your friends will think you're some kind of kitchen witch, which is fine, just don't tell Dwight's Aunt Shirley.
This food processor has 350 watts of power for quick and efficient chopping and slicing, and reversible shredding/slicing discs. All of the removable parts are dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "I love this food processor! I've made several batches of peanut butter and recently I made almond and cashew too! Made hummus for the first time too! I know this was a great purchase and look forward to trying new recipes." —Sonia

Promising review: "I am so happy I purchased The Lady in Red, as I have affectionately named my new Dutch oven. I love everything about it: the quality, the color, and the price. I am an artisan baker and use The Lady in Red to bake super-delicious fancy bread. You will NOT, I repeat NOT find a better price for a good quality Dutch oven. This is perfect for my oven when I bake up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're in the market for a good quality, inexpensive Dutch oven, don't delay. This is the one for you."—AngelFromTheBay
Price: $39.94 (available in two colors) (originally $49.99)

The advantage of flexible cutting boards is that you can roll them up to funnel your chopped ingredients into a bowl or pan, but usually they're pretty flimsy and very slippery. These will definitely stay up while you're using them.
Promising review: "Was replacing an older set of cutting board mats that were getting worn out and these are way better. The old ones were slicker and wouldn't stay put on the counter. These have a special texture and maybe material on the backs that grips really nice. They seem like they will be durable but we don't have much time on them to say how they hold up under routine use. The grip feature alone is worth getting these. When you are cutting things, you want to have a stable work surface." —Robert

You definitely ~knead~ to buy this. Incidentally, it makes kneading bread dough way less work, and the same thing goes for mixing and whipping. And with ten attachments from food grinders to pasta makers, the possibilities for this thing are almost endless.
Promising review: "I have always dreamed of owning one, and it has lived up to every expectation! Very happy with my purchase. I have had it for about five months now and use it very often. It makes baking a DREAM. Also, crazy but it also shreds chicken, which I always dreaded. Such a great product!" —Amanda
Price: $399.99+ (available in twenty six colors)
I was surprised to learn that Paul Hollywood is actually a big fan of bread makers. The key to great bread is the preparation, and kneading is both really time-consuming and physically difficult, meaning it's not always accessible to everyone. Having a machine do the work is just fine by him.
This bread maker has a viewing window and twelve preprogrammed cycles including jam, cake, French, and gluten-free. Scrummy!
Promising review: "I have another bread machine at twice the cost and this is every bit as good. Its very quiet, easy to use and easy to clean up. The paddle rarely stays in the loaf, but if it does, it comes right out. The loaf is very easy to drop out of the pan when its done. I run this at least two times a week using it on several recipes, all without a hiccup. I haven't had a bad loaf yet. For this price, its a no-brainer! Get it, you'll be glad you did!" —Stardog55

Promising review: "This is a really good mixing bowl. The nonslip bottom is such a great idea! I've always had issues in the past with my bowls slipping or moving when I would mix things but this bowl doesn't do that since it has the blue rubber coating on the bottom. It also has measurement lines inside the bowl as well which is a great added feature. The little handle on the side also is perfect to help hold the bowl as you mix. This is by far my favorite and go-to mixing bowl!" —Onyx2016

The scale can handle up to 11 pounds, and converts between pounds, grams, ounces, and milliliters. It comes with two AAA batteries and automatically powers off after two minutes.
Promising review: "This is scale is very accurate. I bought family-size ground beef and I used it to portion one-pound packages. It was spot-on. I've used the ounces feature when measuring food for my diabetic husband — again very accurate. I love how lightweight it is. I'm very happy with this purchase." —Julie
Price: $10.26+ (originally $19.79; available in seven colors)
I am so excited this is a thing now.
Promising review: "Microwave, air fryer, convection oven, or combo, this machine does it all. It is fast in any of the options you choose, and you can cook anything and everything with it. The inside is stainless steel, it has a top burner, turntable, and it circulates hot air to cook everything properly with great results. This is truly an ultimate three-in-one machine with many options and features, and is very unique. Fits in same space as my other microwave and is as easy to operate. Love it." —Whitt

Promising review: "This colander is perfect. It replaces an older one I've had for many years that just wore out. I like that it has a hanging area on one end so you can hang it up if you'd like. This is the right size for my sink because it telescopes out to fit most any sink, and I have a large farmhouse-type sink." —Leisure2

My grandmother bought one of these for herself 25 years ago, it's been mine for 15 years and through four cross-country moves, and after all that it still works great. I mostly use it for when I'm making curry and need to grind whole spices. It's way easier than using a mortar and pestle!
Promising review: "This is a wonderful, well-made product. Scoop in the beans and turn it on and you have coffee to use for your electric coffee maker. Choose the grind size you want, and use machine. Keep it clean for optimum life." —Muthamouth

I have the the Pyrex measuring cups that my parents got at their wedding... which was in 1984. They're older than I am and the markings are still crystal-clear.
Promising review: "I have had a two-cup Pyrex measuring cup for forty years, and decide it was time to purchase a one-cup. It will probably las at least forty years as well." —Julia
Price: $12.12
Promising review: "I have to admit, I didn't expect to be so thoroughly impressed by some fancy trash cans! These are really great, with removable, easily cleaned, heavy plastic liners which have a small circular clip at the front to anchor the bag in place. Each can opens via a footswitch, and they close slowly without any noise whatsoever. Even though the larger of the two is actually smaller than a standard kitchen trash bin, I prefer this one, just for how much easier and sanitary it is to use. I am going to buy another set for my master bedroom and bath." —Danielle420
Price: $54.99 (available in three colors)
Also, this model lifts your toasty delights extra high when they're done, so you don't have to reach inside or try to get your bread out by lifting handle up really fast and then sending it flying across the room.
Promising review: "The toaster was everything I was looking for. The quality is outstanding and it performs much better than I'd expect for the price I paid for it." —William
Price: $50.62
The pans are dishwasher-safe and come in the standard sizes of 9x13", 10x15", and 11x17". As an added bonus, a portion of every purchase benefits Yum-O, Rachel Ray's nonprofit that helps kids and parents develop healthy relationships with food and eating.
Promising review: "I've used these without any sprays or oils with cooking meats and nothing ever sticks. It wipes clean with paper towel. I always wash, dry and put away immediately after dinner. The rubber handles easy on the hot touch." —BGirl
Price: $29.99 (available in three colors)
Promising review: "The Food Saver brand is top-of-the-line in my opinion. We have the smaller version which we bought at least fifteen years ago and still works very good. This model is easier to use because of the cutter that is incorporated in the machine. The pulse vacuum control is also a fantastic design, I found it very helpful while sealing the softer meats and food. If you're in the market for a vacuum food saver this is the only one to buy." —AL Thurl

How many times have you dropped your deliciously prepared food because you're just too darn clumsy in an oven mitt?
Promising review: "I bought these for myself. They are by far the best oven mitts I have ever used. Being able to have fingers instead of a mitten make the use so much easier and I can lift a cast-iron Dutch oven without the worry of being burned. Knowing how much I and my husband love them, we bought a pair for our daughter." —LovtwoslOck
Price: $19.50 (originally $29.44)

It's got leather straps, leather pockets, brass clasps, and is made from super-durable canvas. I heartily approve.
Promising review: "This is an extremely well-made thick apron with leather pockets and straps. The straps are attached with rivets instead of sewed on. I was debating on buying a full leather apron and so glad I didn't because of the summer heat. This is much lighter than leather but still extremely thick and treated nylon fabric. It looks and feels like a high end product." —Steve
Price: $39.99
Promising review: "I am a big fan of cast iron and this is one of the best. When it is used and treated correctly it rivals the best nonstick out there. The pan came well-seasoned and ready to use. This is another great product from Lodge!" —GentleHarleyMan
Price: $14.88 (originally $25.50)
Price: "This is powerful! The extract button pulses the frozen smoothie contents to get the ingredients into place, then it goes into auto mode and shuts off when smoothie is ready. It's breeze to clean and the larger blender size works double time when we need more room. It was a great gift I ended up keeping for myself this holiday. I have no regrets!" —Gloria
Price: $89 (originally $139.99)
The set includes a bamboo board with a drawer in it, four stainless steel serving utensils, three labels, and two markers.
Promising review: "I loved using this board! It is a big size and holds a lot of food. I love the side spaces for the crackers. It is a deal for the price, that I highly recommend!" —Alyssa
