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!
Combines 7 kitchen appliances in 1… enough said.
Because everyone needs some fun colors in their kitchen!
Star Wars Death Star Waffle MakerSeriously the most adorable waffle maker… and I don’t even have a Star Wars fan!
Cupcake Decorating KitYes, 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 BlenderBlender that’s also great for smoothies or making baby food!

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

Emoji breakfast party, anyone?
Silicone Wine StoppersI own these and recommend them all the time!
Easier to fit my wine bottles in the fridge, too. Bonus!!

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

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!
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!

February 17, 2016 at 1:20 pmWe 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! 😀

February 17, 2016 at 1:29 pmHah, 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!
