One of my dirty little secrets… I’m totally obsessed with kitchen tools and gadgets. Like an embarrassing amount of cookware and bakeware is hidden behind my kitchen cabinets.

Maybe I’m just a chip off the old block because my mom has a set of dishes for every occasion. Crab legs this weekend? Yeah, she has plates for that. St. Patrick’s Day party? Yep, got those too. And sometimes around this time of year she has trouble deciding what set of dishes to use when holidays overlap… Mardi Gras or Valentine’s Day? Tough decision. So yeah, now you can see where my obsession comes from, right?

Well if you share this little secret addiction with me, here’s 30 gadgets and tools that you’ll want to add to your kitchen.

Cuisinart 12-Piece Ceramic Coated Color Knife Set
Love that these have blade cards so they’re safe to keep in your drawers!

 


Insta Pot 7 in 1
Combines 7 kitchen appliances in 1… enough said.

Gotham Steel Nonstick Copper Crisper Tray
Watch the video on this and be amazed!!

 


Kate Spade Cutting Boards
Because everyone needs some fun colors in their kitchen!

Amco Rub-A-Way Bar, Stainless Steel
Removes any odor from your hands. A must need in your kitchen!

 


Star Wars Death Star Waffle Maker
Seriously the most adorable waffle maker… and I don’t even have a Star Wars fan!

Cupcake Decorating Kit
Yes, this can help you decorate beautiful cupcakes like a pro!

Silicone Baking Sheet Pastry Mat with Measurements 
I use one of these to bake pies. So easy to do the crust with the measurements right on the mat!

NutriBullet 12 Piece Blender
Blender that’s also great for smoothies or making baby food!

GoWISE Air Fryer
I was a little bit iffy about this until my mother in law purchased one.
Yes, it’s amazing!!

 


 

Mandoline Slicer Set
If you don’t own one of these, you’re totally missing out!

 


Nordic Ware Smiley Face Pancake Pan
Ok, this one I don’t actually own, but Ellie is now begging me for it!
Emoji breakfast party, anyone?

 


Silicone Wine Stoppers
I own these and recommend them all the time!
Easier to fit my wine bottles in the fridge, too. Bonus!!

 


Measuring Cups
I like the all-in-one for the measuring spoons.
And the measuring cylinder? Great for peanut butter, liquids, sticky stuff, etc.

 


Rachael Ray 10-Piece Bakeware
Great set of bakeware for a new homeowner or wedding gift!

 


8 in 1 Kitchen Tool
8 amazing tools that stack together in the shape of a wine bottle!

 


Cookie Press with Disks and Storage Case
Perfect for Christmas cookies… or any day 😉

 


Stoneware Bowl Set
Perfect for food prep or entertaining!

 


15 Piece Kitchen Tool Set
Another one that would be great for a new homeowner or wedding gift!

 


Flexible Cutting Mat with Food Icons, Set of 4
I have these and love them! No cross contamination, and easy to store & wash!

 


Cuisinart Handheld Mixer
If you’ve read my recipe posts, you’ll see this one often!
I actually prefer it to my big mixer, and love that it stores all in one!

 


Kitchen Towels Dish Cloth (12 Pack)
Love these, too! They’re a little stiff when you first buy them but wash & they’re perfect!
Super cheap too, but they last forever!

 


Crock-Pot 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker
At $36, this will become your new best friend.

 


Kate Spade Pantry Canister
I don’t own this one, but it’s on my wishlist!
Would be adorable as a utensil holder, too.

 


Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids Food Storage, 42-Piece Set
Yep, own these too. I like that there’s only 3 lid sizes so no searching for the right fit!

 


Ceramic Teapot
This one seriously has me swooning! Love the simple pattern and detailed handle.

 


10-Piece Set Prep Bowl Set
You might notice these in my recipe posts, too.
Great for food prep, condiments, or for use when entertaining!

 


Rachael Ray Cucina Nonstick Cookware
If you’re looking for a new cookware set, this is it! Plus it comes in different colors.

 


Adjustable Rolling Pin
Great for pizza crusts, pie, cookies, etc.

 


Rabbit Corkscrew
Ugh, probably my favorite kitchen gadget… and most used 😉

 


CorningWare 12 Piece Set
Great for cooking and baking, plus doubles as servingware.
Love the glass and plastic lids!

I’m totally crushing on those Star Wars waffle maker!

      When we lived in LSL there was one 5 minutes from our house. Now I just order their stuff online! They’re one of my favorite shops for drapes.

    We have one of those measuring cup things that has the rubbery inside that you slide up or down or whatever for the measurement you want. My Mister loves the thing. I can never get it to work. So I just use regular measuring cups, and keep the fancy thing…in the hopes that maybe one day the Mister will cook something for me and need the measuring cup 😉 Hasn’t happened yet, but one can dream! 😀

      Hah, keep dreaming!! 😉 I actually do love that measuring cup thing for things that are hard to scrape, like peanut butter or marshmallow fluff. You know… all the things that are bad for you and I probably shouldn’t be cooking with!
