Okay I’m not gonna lie..
I am a little excited about this post. For one, I am ALL about some really great kitchen gear!!! Anything to help get the job done in the kitchen in half the time is worth it to me!
William Sonoma and Sur la table are amongst some of my favorite group of stores...I could spend endless hours just picking up and playing with all of their millions of kitchen gadgets!!! You know you could too!
I have compiled a list of some of my absolute favorites and also some that I am planning on using in the future. Everything will be linked below!!!!
1. The Slow Cooker-
I mean need I say anymore? Once that first cool front of the season hits and you are to busy watching football to concoct an hour long meal.. the crockpot is your best friend. There are so many wonderful and versatile recipes the slow cooker can make. From savory to sweet it really does it all.
This is the All Clad with Aluminum Insert
and its also 50 % off right now!!!!!
2. The Cast Iron Skillet-
This might be the southern coming out in me BUT rarely do I ever cook on ANYTHING other than a cast iron skillet. Cast iron skillets get seasoned with each meal you cook. The oils from the food seep into the iron and then once reheated the oils bring a ton of flavor to your dish. From eggs to filet mignon to sautéing veggies.. the cast iron is our main pan in this kitchen.

3. A Food Processor
I honestly cannot say enough things about the food processor!!! We make sauces, salsas, baby food, home made popsicles, marinaras, hummus... you name it we make it!!! This is a life savor! Especially if you have a baby and plan on making baby food.. I actually have the Baby Bullet, however you don’t really even need one if you have a food processor on hand. They are so easy to clean and save a ton of time when it comes to chopping and prepping.
4. The Nespresso
Okay, so I understand that this isn’t really a “gadget” per se however it belongs in the kitchen so to me, its necessary! This is the world’s BEST coffee maker. In my opinion it ranks up right there with Starbucks. Okay maybe not quiittee starbucks but it knocks the kurig right on its you know what :) the coffee is creamy and delicious, all imported flavors ..so think rich full flavored roasts, and its small sleek and comes in a few different versions. Oh and its ONE button to push to get your coffee. Mine is the Citiz version ( which comes with the frother) the other versions do not come with a frother they sell them separately. The frother is one of the best parts because it turns your regular coffee into a creamy latte’ at home in your OWN kitchen! Yes its a total win.
Buy the Citiz version
5. Wooden Spoon
This one is not as elaborate as the other items I have previously posted but I feel like a good wooden spoon is necessary to have in the kitchen. Everyone needs a spoon that is durable to stir a thick and hearty sauce with, a spoon to scrape out the last bit of batter from the bowl, and a spoon to stir yummy ground meats simmering in lots of fragrant spices. I love a good spoon and own a wooden spoon in a few different sizes! This one is my favorite and it comes monogrammed or not monogrammed in the store.
Mine is obviously monogrammed :)
I hope you find this list a bit helpful as these are my favorite items in the kitchen :)!
