My Favorite Kitchen Accessories From Amazon’s Spring Sale

Posted on by

Stocking your kitchen with the right tools and appliances doesn’t happen overnight. There’s always one or two things on my “I’ll get it later” list, and by the time “later” comes, I need to replace something else. If you’ve ever wanted to stock up your kitchen with a few tools and appliances, Amazon’s ongoing spring sale is a good chance to snag a few essentials at a lower price.

Meat thermometer with probe ThermoPro

This is one of those gadgets that will completely change your cooking. Put an end to those days of cooking a steak and poking your thumb into your palm or cutting up your chicken to see if it’s pink or not.

ThermoPro is a trusted brand in the food industry, and this instant-read thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking—from candy making to grilling.

Cuisinart Waffle Maker

Waffle irons are not just for making waffles. I like to think of “waffle” as a verb. You can use a waffle iron to bake a whole universe of foods that have never been inside one before. Instant waffle puree , croissants , cheese , an entire sandwich or even birthday cake batter . Lifehacker’s food writers have long loved this humble machine, so when you buy this affordable machine from Cuisinart, you can rest assured that we’ll always have creative recipes for you to try.

Dishers

Dishwashers, sometimes called ice cream scoops, are one of my favorite simple kitchen tools. I differentiate dishwashers from classic ice cream scoops because they have a small trigger that helps scoop out the material inside. Like the waffle iron, these rounded spatulas are much more than they seem. Dishwashers are great portioning tools, they’re easy to use, and most importantly, they help keep your food prep organized. I have a set of three sizes similar to this one on sale, and I use them for things like scooping cookie dough, ice cream, meatballs, or spooning ricotta into a baking dish before leveling it.

KitchenAid Digital Scales

You don’t have to bake bread every week to use a kitchen scale (but it definitely helps). A simple digital kitchen scale will help you accurately reproduce recipes every time and can be a valuable tool when following strict diets. This may also give you an idea if you’ve never weighed ingredients before (two ounces of dry pasta is unfortunately a little skimpy). Plus, using the tare function on the scale makes it easy to measure multiple ingredients in one bowl. This scale from KitchenAid offers two platforms: one for larger measurements and one for precise measurements (think: grams of salt).

Nested mixing bowls

I don’t need to talk about what mixing bowls do, they’re self-explanatory, but I will focus on the importance of having multiple mixing bowls of different sizes. Sometimes you’ll need a large container to hold all the large chunks of vegetables in your stew, and sometimes you’ll need two small ones to measure out the chopped nuts and chocolate chips. I love these Wildone bowls because they are made of stainless steel with a non-slip bottom, but most of all because each size comes with a tight-fitting lid.

Cuisinart Air Fryer

Every kitchen, from a dorm to a palace, can use an air fryer. (I haven’t been to the palace kitchen, but I bet they have deep fryers.) These countertop electronic convection ovens are safe, easy to use, and let you quickly cook countless dishes, from cheesecake to roasted peppers . This highly rated air fryer from Cuisinart allows you to cook on multiple racks and is large enough to bake a 12-inch pizza.

Philips automatic espresso coffee machine.

Technically it’s more of a waste of money, but it’s also important because that’s how I feel about coffee. Consider finally taking the plunge and purchasing this fully automatic espresso machine from Philips . It grinds, brews, foams, apparently prepares “the perfect coffee to suit your mood” (at least someone understands me). Thanks to its extensive capabilities, this machine will prepare cappuccino doppio without any problems and quickly turn around to prepare iced coffee for your partner.
