Small Whisk

I actually think I use this whisk more than any other. It’s the perfect size for small bowls…but also for larger batches!

Instant Read Thermometer

An instant-read thermometer will totally change your meat cooking game, and when it’s this inexpensive, there’s no reason not to have one.

Candy/Deep Fry Thermometer

This is the only candy thermometer I’ve used for years – it isn’t perfect (no such kind on the market), but it’s definitely the best out there, in my opinion, especially if it’s calibrated correctly.

Perfect Can Opener

I tell everyone I know about this can opener (nerd alert). I swear, it’s not JUST a can opener. It’s something special. I’ve been using mine for years and love it so much.

Bench Scraper/Knife

I know I talk about this nifty bench scraper/cutter all the time, but I’m in love. I use it constantly – cutting dough into portions, scraping flour-crusted countertops, and my kids use it for safe chopping.

Fine Mesh Strainer

These fine mesh strainers are indispensable in my kitchen – I use them for washing fruit, draining pasta, straining pudding/custard, sifting dry ingredients.

Garlic Press

No need to peel the garlic cloves first with this baby; it’s my favorite garlic press (and I’ve owned several).
