1. A 15-piece set of silicone kitchen utensils that'll basically cover your every need while whipping up delicious meals. They won't scratch up your cookware, and they won't melt if you accidentally leave them in your soup pot.
2. A kitchen scale that'll help you measure out the exact amount of flour you need for your mom's famous banana bread recipe. It has over 42,000 five-star reviews (!!!) and people love that you can easily toggle between the metric and imperial systems.
3. A 14-piece block of stainless steel knives, so you'll always have the right blade for the occasion. No more using that old, dull blade (dangerous!) when you should clearly be using a proper chef’s knife instead.
4. Or a food processor that'll help you chop up veggies in seconds if your knife skills aren't the ~sharpest~. Reviewers say that it's strong enough to whip up nut butter and oat flour, and that its compact size makes it perfect for smaller kitchens.
5. A 12-jar revolving spice rack that'll hopefully encourage you to try adding different herbs to your creations. Throw in a dash of cumin the next time you're making a stew!
6. A salad spinner that'll help you to quickly rinse and dry fruits and vegetables. It has a drain built right into the lid, so you won't need to remove it when you're dumping the excess water out.
7. An Instant Pot Duo that works as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, food warmer, and yogurt maker. Just think of how many pots and pans you would need to do all of those things separately!
8. A digital kitchen thermometer that'll ensure all your roasted meats are cooked to perfection, because nobody wants to eat undercooked chicken. It has over 26,000 five-star reviews and people love that you can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
9. A potato ricer that'll give you the smoothest mashed potatoes you've ever seen outside of a restaurant. It uses twisting technology to make it easier to extrude the potatoes, so you won’t have to strain your hands.
10. A six-sided grater that'll help you prepare your cheeses and vegetables at your desired thickness. Use the finer sides to grate hard cheeses, use the bigger sides to shred veggies, or use the wide side to create strips of zucchini or cucumber.
11. A pair of multifunctional kitchen shears that you can use to butterfly chicken, cut through poultry bones, pop open a bottle cap, or crush open a walnut shell. It's made of durable stainless steel and has an ambidextrous handle, so everyone can use this handy tool.
12. A rice cooker that'll give you perfectly cooked and fluffy rice, because standing over the stove to stir it is boring and can lead to soggy results. It'll also keep your rice warm after it's done cooking and can double as a steamer for veggies.
13. An air fryer that'll help you fry up your favourite foods, but with drastically less oil. It uses a convection fan system that'll give your food a crispy texture without actually deep frying them.
14. A pasta-measuring tool that'll tell you exactly how many noods you need, so you never make too much or too little. Just slide pasta into one of the four gauges and it'll give you the serving size you're looking for.
15. A pair of heat resistant gloves with a Neoprene coating that'll protect your hands from scalding trays and foods that have just come out of the oven. They can withstand temperatures up to 932°F, so even boiling water won't be a hazard to your precious fingers.
16. An ergonomic marinade syringe that you can use to inject your meat with seasoning when you don’t have time to let it soak up all the juices. It’ll leave your meat tender, juicy, and packed with flavour when it's cooked.
17. A smokeless electric grill that'll let you make grilled food inside when it's too cold to use the barbeque. Burgers hot off the grill in winter? Yes, please!
18. A pre-seasoned cast iron skillet that you'll find yourself reaching for again and again, because you can use it to cook almost anything. Reviewers say it's super durable and adds a perfect sear to your food.
19. A silicone skillet handle that can easily slip over most cookware handles and will protect your fingers from getting burned. It has over 7,000 five-star reviews and people love that it’s a less-bulky alternative to potholders.
20. And lastly, a Dutch oven that'll help you cook up the most delicious sauces and stews. It's made of heavy-duty cast iron that'll ensure everything is cooked evenly. Now you can bake, broil, and roast, but without the worry.
