We recently tested stand mixers , and found a lot to love with this 7-quart model — in fact, it was our pick for the Best Large Capacity Stand Mixer.

The XL bowl capacity here means you can use it to make large batches of cookies, doughs, and just about anything else.

Its motor is a powerful Like all KitchenAid mixers, this comes with a standard set of attachments: the wire whip, flat beater, and dough hook.

The 3. During testing, we were overwhelmingly impressed by this large-capacity food processor from Cuisinart. The Cuisinart model proves that simpler is better, with only two buttons one for continuous run and off, and another for pulsing.

The bowl is large enough to batch-prep, making it truly useful and time-saving. The blade is what sets it apart, though.

Before stand mixers grace the countertops of most home kitchens, cooks relied on hand mixers for beating, mixing, and whisking. We love them for their ease of use, and ability to evenly mix a batter or whip egg whites and cream without having to stop and scrape the bowl. This model from Breville won top marks in our tests.

It has a powerful watt motor, but it's pleasantly lightweight, reducing arm fatigue during use. There are also 9 different speeds and a handy light that makes it easy to see the progress of your dough while mixing. During testing, we loved the different attachments, including the rubber-lined beaters which were whisper-quiet, and protected stoneware bowls.

It outshone the competition in terms of performance, beating cream to stiff peaks and mixing butter and sugar without any traces left behind in the bowl. Made from the brand behind the original multicooker, this air fryer is outfitted with all the technology you could want in an appliance.

During our tests , we found the intuitive display to be easy to use straight out of the box. There is a generous but not overwhelming number of presets which take the guesswork out of cooking time and temperature. We also praised this model for its nonstick read: easy to clean interior and quiet motor.

We highly recommend this model not just for air frying, but roasting, dehydrating, broiling, baking, and reheating. We tested a variety of different juicers and found that centrifugal models are ideal for replicating the silky-smooth texture found in our favorite juice shops.

The Nama Vitality is IT when it comes to serious juice that retains its vital nutrients. It uses masticating technology, which pulverizes produce without heating it: the final result is both raw, incredibly flavorful, and full of health benefits.

During our testing, we noted the large feeding chute that cut down on prep time no more chopping fruits and veggies into tiny pieces. No matter what type of juice we made, it was nearly pulp-free and tasted great.

This hard worker can also handle smoothies, nut milk, and sorbets, making it a smart investment if you want to cut down on the number of specialty appliances you have in your kitchen.

Manual citrus juicers are easy to use, but if you plan on doing a lot of juicing, or just want a high-powered, efficient juicer, electric is the way to go. During our citrus juicer tests , we were seriously impressed with the almost-silent motor that produced practically perfect scores across the board we test for design, performance, ease of use, and value.

Happily, this large-capacity juicer is just as adept at squeezing every last drop out of a half-lemon as it is a large batch of blood oranges, so you will find yourself reaching for it often during everyday cooking.

And yep, serious cooks should have at least a pan or two your scrambled eggs will thank you. When we tested nonstick pans , this deep-sided one from Zwilling was a standout, earning it the title of Best Overall Nonstick Pan. We simply cannot overstate the true nonstick qualities, either: salmon, pancakes, and melted marshmallows!!

all released easily from the surface of this pan. The case could be made that a Dutch oven is one of the only cooking vessels you truly need. So we were serious about finding the best one for roasting, searing, soup-making, and bread-baking.

The enamel glaze protects the cast iron cookware and makes it easy to clean you can soak it. The handles are generous and wide, and make it easy to move from the oven to the counter. Plus, it can handle temperatures up to ˚F, and it comes in a ton of perfect-for-your-kitchen colors.

Stainless steel cookware is a smart investment, no matter what type of heat source you use. This set is even compatible with induction.

This set comes with every cooking vessel you need for a functioning kitchen, making it highly giftable. You simply cannot do better than four pots and corresponding lids and two pans at this price.

The pieces are well-made, too, with 3-ply stainless steel construction, tight-fitting lids, and sturdy handles. They can handle hot ovens up to ˚F , and are easy to care for — they are dishwasher safe, although hand-washing is recommended for longevity.

A high-quality slow cooker should heat up quickly and be able to maintain a consistent temperature over an hours-long period.

When we tested slow cooker models , this one from Cuisinart hit the mark. It reached a low-and-slow ˚F within an hour and stayed right there for another six until beans were tender and strata were custardy.

This is also the easiest-to-use slow cooker we tested. The insert is lightweight and can be washed easily. Did we mention the pour spouts? The insert has those, which is — quite honestly — revelatory. The interface is intuitive, without too many complexities.

The power of this small personal blender is nothing short of astonishing. Frankly, any blender that pulverizes kale leaves and blueberries with nearly no pulp or skin deserves a medal. The ounce size is a welcome upgrade, too.

This model was designed for folks on the go, with flip-top lids included for your smoothies and shakes. There are personal blenders with more and less powerful motors, but we found the watt capacity of this one to be the ideal mix of speed and value. Toaster ovens can do a heck of a lot more than just make toast.

But we still think that an evenly-toasted slice of bread is the true test of a quality toaster oven. This toaster oven can do a lot including bake cookies, cook pizza, keep your food warm, and reheat leftovers , but the presets and interface are refreshingly simple and low-tech.

We also like that this model solves a common annoyance with toaster ovens: its interior is nonstick, so it is a snap to wipe clean. The best immersion blenders are highly powerful while still being slim enough to store in a drawer. We reviewed a lot of immersion blenders and were pleasantly surprised that this budget buy from NutriBullet performed as well or better than the pricier models.

We were serious about testing its capabilities, and could hardly believe how cooked broccoli, onions, and celery became velvety-smooth after just one minute of blending.

The rubberized buttons include options for blending and pulsing, which gives you greater control over the consistency. Hot coffee tip: if you want to save space on your countertop, go for a coffee maker that has a built-in grinder.

The smart tamp feature makes it accessible for coffee drinkers hoping to up their skill level. Picture it: an electric kettle that works smarter, not just hotter. This one from Zwilling is a marvel of German engineering, thanks to its six different temperature settings for coffee, teas, and other toasty beverages.

Our testing revealed it reached a rolling boil in an impressive six minutes. We also liked its keep-warm feature, which retained a set temperature for 30 minutes. We were surprised, too. The interface is straightforward and has the truly genius feature of telling you how long is left in the cook cycle.

The rice-type presets white or brown eliminate guesswork and mushy grains. But wait! There are more features! This rice cooker is also a multicooker because it can sauté, steam, and slow-cook.

Silicone spatulas are a marvel. But our tests revealed that some are higher-quality buys. Each spatula has a handy hanging hold on the handle, and you can choose from a few fun colors. The comfy, ergonomic handle is a must, and the rubber base keeps it from slipping around when in use.

But ultimately, what we liked best about this box grater was its razor-sharp edges, which will last a long time before needing to be replaced. Take the guesswork out of cooking to temperature with an instant-read thermometer that gives you quick, accurate results.

Pro cooks appreciate that it turns on just by folding out the probe, and its waterproof capability is a nice touch.

The tip of the probe is very sharp, which means it inserts into meat or bread loaves smoothly, without ripping or tearing. And yep, it comes in a bunch of fun colors. A half-baking sheet is a size most familiar to home cooks because it fits nicely into most home ovens.

In our cookie sheet tests , we loved that the Nordic Ware half sheet was warp-resistant — we even put it in a ˚F oven for 20 minutes with no visible alterations.

We found that this pan was a cinch to wash by hand, and even retained its shine after multiple uses. Roasting pans should be roomy, without any awkwardness in handling. This pan is special because of its materials: it is made from high-quality carbon steel, which must be seasoned before use — Made In provides helpful instructions.

We loved the streamlined design, which was easy to move around a kitchen, and surprisingly easy to hold, despite its hefty size. At its heart, this is just a beautifully designed and beautiful piece of cookware. We valued the fact that it fits both vertically and horizontally in a standard-size oven, and the looped handles were comfortable to hold even with oven mitts.

The sweet, vintage-inspired design seals the deal. The value of a handheld vacuum is in its ability to get into all corners, nooks, and crannies. When we tested handheld vacs , we prioritized models with multiple attachments, and the Iris USA Handheld Vacuum was a clear standout.

During our tests, this handheld expertly navigated all surfaces and cleaned up messes without additional help from a traditional vac.

The battery life is 13 minutes — not bad at all for such a powerful appliance that could handle large debris with no issues. We tested a variety of storage vessels to find the best combination of value, design, and aesthetics they matter! for pantry and dry goods. This set from Rubbermaid was the clear winner in our tests.

The snap-in-place lids create a truly tight seal, so your food will stay fresh for longer. It was a surprise to learn that every component, even the lids, was able to be run through the dishwasher. We also liked that they were freezer-safe. We tested 15 upright vacuums to find the best one for value and ease of use.

The Shark Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vac has enviable suction power over any surface, including tile, wood, and carpeting. We liked that you can separate the canister from the main attachment, and use it like a canister vac for tricky spots.

In order to keep your knives in top shape, you need a knife sharpener! You only need to use a whetstone like this a few times per year, and this one by Nakano is super easy to master. You can also hone your knives using the long steel rod weekly, or even daily if you prefer that method.

Here is a video with tips on how to use a whetstone! Keyword: FEW. A 3-quart pot will be great for things like oatmeal, boiling eggs, quick sauces and small batches of rice.

The larger pot will come in handy for cooking pasta, larger portions of grains, chilis, soups, stews and for popping popcorn! On the other hand, definitely invest in a stainless steel pan because those can last decades. I made the mistake of picking up my first set of pans from Ikea.

Since I cook a lot, they only lasted six months. Make sure to get three of each in different sizes for your different needs—think, small, medium, and large. Product links for my favorite pots and pans for your kitchen equipment list:.

Food processors are very versatile. Forget the ice cream maker, seriously. I have an adorable one like this that holds three cups. The Magic Bullet worked for me for a few years, until I started blending soups. Then it was useless, which is why I recommend getting one that allows steam to escape without any mess.

At the end of the day, you just need something that will let you make everything from soup to sauce to pancake batter, and beyond, like the Ninja blender I have pictured below! Personally, I only use measuring cups and spoons when following a recipe—a rare occurrence in my kitchen.

I made the mistake of buying two plastic cutting boards at Ikea that only lasted a year. No joke—they broke in half. For your kitchen, I recommend plastic and bamboo cutting boards of different sizes! This kitchen equipment list would be incomplete without food storage containers. Whatever your preference, whether glass or plastic, there are plenty of high-quality options out there to choose from.

Sheet pan meals are essential to basic home cooking and a baking dish is necessary for all your pasta bakes, mac and cheese and favorite casseroles. This is where Ikea did actually come through!

One baking sheet and one baking dish are enough for a minimalist kitchen. Large and medium-sized mixing bowls are the best tools for these jobs if you want to avoid unnecessary splatter and spills.

What you choose comes down to your preference. If your salad greens are still wet even a little bit when you try to dress them, the dressing will never fully stick. Some love to use a slow cooker to prep meals in bulk because they can just turn it on and let it do its thing. But a lot of people have told me that, though they love the promise of a slow-cooker, they never actually use the ones they have.

While a microwave may make the process of reheating leftovers super fast and simple, you can also totally do it with a pan and a stovetop, or a baking sheet and your oven. And you can toast bread in a pan or in your oven, too!

When I asked some of my blogging buddies about what kitchen tools they never use, bread makers were at the top of the list. Yes, making zucchini pasta is cool. But after talking to a few people, many told me that their spiralizer sits unused collecting dust.

With your quality chefs knife, you can easily cut anything into long, thin strips. And anyone who owns a KitchenAid stand mixer can simply buy the spiralizing attachment for that instead.

My friend had a food dehydrator in college and it took up so much space she had to leave it on the floor. And there are plenty of great no-churn ice cream recipes that rely on food processors and blenders to get the job done instead.

Instead, I keep a small hand mixer at my place for all of my baking needs. These are totally useless.

We can make popcorn in a pot on the stove super easily! No fancy equipment needed. And maybe consider checking out our simple AF recipes! True story: my grandpa got my grandma a juicer and it was the biggest waste of time.

We all concluded it was better to just buy juices from the store! When it comes to novelty kitchen equipment, do your best to resist the temptation. As I said before, you can just use a knife to chop garlic! No need to spring for another tool that will just take up space.

Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Sign me up for the newsletter! Too squeaky-styrofoamy-y. I like stovetop. All you need is popcorn, a little oil, and a saucepan with a good cover.

Glass cover if you like watching them dart across the pan as they pop. Haha, good to know! Obviously, I have yet to use a popcorn maker.

Stovetop seems a little intimidating, but since I have all of those tools already I might as well try it. Stovetop is pretty easy, not much to be intimidated about except standing at the stove for a few minutes and avoiding late poppers that go off after you remove the lid.

Ice cream makers may prepare the mixture by employing the hand-cranking method or by employing an electric motor. The resulting preparation is often chilled through either pre-cooling the machine or by employing a machine that freezes the mixture.

Mortar and pestle are time-consuming and can easily be replaced by Blender, Spice Grinder, and Rolling Pin in most of the cases.

The bread maker is my favorite too. It is great to know about this equipments but I would like to request to write something about frier or burner.

Plus, a glass jar is great for making vinaigrette. When on a budget, no food should be left to spoil as wasted food is wasted money. Pouring ,rather than ladeling, liquids make you a tidier cook. You often need more than a cup of liquid measured.

Or, undercook that roast chicken. No one likes pink poultry. Great investment. I agree wholeheartedly. I love my pressure cooker, and wish I had gotten it when the family was younger. Very quick way to cook favor-filled meals. The cookers they make now are much safer than those made decades ago.

There are some very good cookbooks out there for pressure cooking too—check them out! Hey Kat — Great list! Yes, a digital thermometer really takes the guess work out of cooking meats.

Dutch oven for braising. The best part? Our recommended cast iron skillet is made of high-quality materials in the USA and is very reasonably priced!

Grill pans have gained popularity in recent years. And why not? For summer dishes like burgers, roasted salmon, meatballs, and marinated vegetables, a grill pan is a must.

It creates tantalizing grill lines in your food, just like a barbecue does. We used to recommend Lodge's cast iron grill pan, but we found ourselves not using it because of its weight and how difficult it was to clean.

We now recommend this non-stick inch grill pan from Calphalon and we couldn't be happier. It's easy to use, affordable, and a snap to clean.

A baking sheet pan or sheet pan, baking tray, baking sheet is a flat, rectangular metal pan that is used for roasting and baking food in the oven.

We use two of these sheets in our kitchen while testing new recipes. After plenty of use, they still look great and perform perfectly. A muffin pan is a baking pan with 6 or 12 built-in cups. Besides making muffins, they are great for individual quiches and on-the-go breakfast cups.

The heavy-gauge aluminized steel promotes even heat distribution. A casserole dish is a large, deep dish with high edges that is used for baking or serving.

For those lazy times you want to throw a one-dish meal into the oven like lasagna or a casserole , a quality casserole dish is a must. This casserole dish from HIC is made of fine white porcelain and is broiler, microwave, and dishwasher safe.

That means that a lazy one-dish meal also is simple to clean. What could be better? A broiler pan is a rectangular metal pan for use under the high-heat broiler in the oven. Broiling is great when you want your food to get a nice brown crusty top. Our experience with this broiler pan from Range Kleen is that it is sturdy and easy to clean you can even throw it in the dishwasher.

Plus, this pan is super inexpensive. A stockpot is a very large pot usually 12 quarts that is ideal for homemade broth or large portions of soups.

Anytime you want to make an extra large meal is also a great reason to use a stock pot. this is not an essential item for a minimalist kitchen. Our recommendation is this quart stockpot from Cuisineart's Multiclad Pro line. Our premium pick is this quart stockpot from All Clad. It is made in the USA and comes with the high quality guarantee that covers all All Clad purchases.

Once again, this is an optional option, but if you often make stock, broth, and soups, this is a great premium pick. A spatula is a small cooking implement with a wide, flat, flexible blade that is used for mixing, spreading, and turning.

Tovolo has done a wonderful job with their line of stainless steel and silicon cooking implements. This small kitchen item is a joy to use and is very reasonably priced for the quality. Going back to the wonderful design of Tovolo products, their stirring spoon is just as good as their slotted spatula.

This stirring spoon from Tovolo one will do great! This large spoon, featuring slots or holes for draining liquid, helps to make cooking easier and safer. It is perfect to use when removing something from a pan while leaving the yummy juices behind.

We love that the Oxo Good Grips Silicone Slotted Spoon is safe to use on our non-stick cookware. For easily flipping meats and vegetables, a good pair of tongs that can handle all kinds of different sized foods is a must.

This pair of tongs from Zyliss is beautifully designed. You can operate them with only one hand, and everything is done ergonomically and with sturdy construction.

We have two of them for some reason, but one is all you need! A ladle is essentially a very large, long-handled spoon. It is used for serving liquid dishes like soups, stews, or sauces. Oven mitts are used in order to protect your hands from being burned when transferring hot food to and from the oven.

I have a juicer that I was really diligent about using for the first few months I had it, but it is a pain in the butt to clean and is basically now collecting dust.

Minimalist kitchen for the win! The Tupperware is a BIG NEED. And man, am I learning a lot about knives! Thanks so much for sharing. plastic stains and often retains smells which makes it harder to reuse. glass also just feels nicer.

Works same. Less mess. How about a pizza stone? An electric kettle! We need boiling water for so many things, from tea to instant coffee to pasta.

Sure, boiling water on the stove can work too but not in under a minute. As nice to have but not a must, I would say a pressure cooker steaming veggies, cooking beans and hard meat quickly, etc. Mine doubles up as pasta pot when we need a ton.

A normal pot does the job in the same time and does it better when it comes to chunky soups, you can sear and also add ingredients as needed. But if a blender in on your list, better make it a heating blender. That now and then usage is worth the price difference. I agree with you on the electric kettle.

I make a lot of tea but I use this kettle for so many things other than tea. Thanks for your comment. Sharing this information with us; I truly enjoyed it. My mom and I made one amazing trip to Ikea when I moved into my first apartment after college to get necessities.
