Krups Coffee Maker
A good coffee maker is a must-have kitchen staple. You’ll love this Krups 12-Cup Coffee Maker ($120) not only for its dependable performance, but also for its sleek and contemporary look. It comes with plenty of bells and whistles, too, like the dual program settings for weekdays and weekends, and the “bold” button for an extra kick of flavor.
Cuisinart Food Processor
Make meal prep a breeze with the Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor ($230). This handy machine does it all: chops up whole fruits, dices vegetables, shreds cheese, kneads dough. The extra-large bowl means it can make quick work of serving crowds. See why our Test Kitchen loves this food processor above all others.
OXO Salad Spinner
A salad spinner is one of those kitchen accessories you didn’t know you needed until you have one. Prepping for nutritious salads is super easy, and honestly, fun, with the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner ($55). Rinse the greens in the removable basket, then dry spin with the one-handed pump. Plus, we love the handy brake button that stops the spinning on a dime.
Silicone Spatula
This silicone spatula ($10) is strong enough for tough cooking jobs, but conveniently flexible for scraping bowls clean. Washing it is the best part—the food and liquid literally slide right off whether you hand wash or throw it in the dishwasher.
Cuisinart Slow Cooker
From flavorful pot roast to creamy macaroni and cheese, the Cuisinart Programmable Slow Cooker ($185) will get the job done. The large capacity 6-1/2 quart crock is nice for a family feast, and we’re also impressed with the 24-hour timer that lets you start a meal the night before. Here’s why this slow cooker was one of our Test Kitchen’s favorites.
OXO Cookie Scoop
A cookie scoop ensures your cookies are uniform in size for beautiful presentation and even baking. The OXO Good Grips Medium Cookie Scoop ($19) has soft grip handles for scooping large batches of everyone’s favorite chocolate chip cookies. This is only one of the gadgets our Test Kitchen uses every day. See all the others!
Philips Air Fryer
When it comes to trending kitchen appliances, air fryers seem to be this year’s Instant Pots—and we must admit they are similarly convenient. The Philips Viva TurboStar Air Fryer ($230) fries with constant, circulating heat for evenly cooked food, no turning required. Use it for delicious french fries, breaded fish or tender yet crispy Brussels sprouts.
KitchenAid Stand Mixer
Ask almost anyone to recommend a stand mixer, and most people will tell you to buy a KitchenAid. For good reason! The KitchenAid Artisan 5-qt. Stand Mixer ($380) is a workhorse with a powerful motor, 10 speed options, numerous attachments—and did we mention it comes in over 30 different colors?
Cutting Board
Decor meets function with this acacia wood cutting board ($30). Use it for slicing and dicing, and then display it on your counter for a chic decorative accessory. We love the rustic live edge and the round handle, both add beautiful character to what could be just another boring cooking necessity.
Decorative Serving Bowl
For instant kitchen style, try displaying a bowl of lemons or other beautiful citrus on your counter. Of course, for this kitchen decoration tip, you’ll need the perfect serving bowl. This salad bowl ($50) looks handmade with its gorgeous curved lines and rippled surface, plus its crisp white color ensures it will look great in any kitchen.
