The holidays are finally here, and that means dusting off your holiday decorations and your credit cards. Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping are some of the hallmarks of the holiday season, for better or worse. Whether you’re pampering yourself or shopping for gifts, now is the time to snag rare deals on kitchen essentials. Here are my top picks for the tools you’ll need to bake, decorate, decorate holiday cookies and spread joy (through full bellies).
Reliable kitchen scales.
I reach for a kitchen scale every day and every well-equipped kitchen should have one. Weigh out Christmas morning cinnamon rolls, oatmeal for cookies, or butter for pie crust to get consistent results every time. I keep mine in a drawer and this one has an extremely low profile, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice counter space.
Food processor
I get a lot of use out of my food processor. It can take care of everything from kneading pie dough to chopping nuts or grinding oatmeal into flour. Food processors are a more expensive item and therefore harder to sell, but it’s a pretty easy solution now. Here’s an offer on kitchen appliances that will make cooking easy and enjoyable.
Set of measuring cups for liquid.
It’s not a glamorous gift, but I was beyond grateful when I received my first set of measuring cups. They’re not only useful for making cake batter; I end up using them for so much more. Heat the risotto broth directly in the microwave or use it to batch pancake batter directly into the pan. The shape and handle make them great as a mixing bowl or a makeshift stand for dry spaghetti. Here is a microwave safe set for small and large measurements.
Durable stand mixer.
For mixing cookie dough, batter, and whipped cream for your famous gingerbread cake, a stand mixer makes a lot of work easy. I should mention that they are also invaluable for making savory dishes, like making hands-free mashed potatoes and shredding slow-cooked pork for sliders. KitchenAid faucets only go on sale a couple of times a year, which means this is a great time for you.
Set of pots and pans
You won’t get anywhere in the kitchen without a set of pots and pans—or, more likely, you already have one but it’s time to upgrade. Here’s the complete set, including lids that will work for turkey gravy or braised short ribs.
Reliable knives
A 12-piece knife set in a block may look attractive, but you’ll only need three to five knives to complete most culinary tasks. This set includes just your first string, plus a honing steel to keep it in good shape between sharpening sessions. Most often I take a chef’s knife, a bread knife or a utility knife – they are all included in this set. (Remember to use the $25 coupon on the page.)
Best rice cooker
I had my last rice cooker for about 18 years. This is a great value, but every device must be retired at some point. I traded the “old faithful man” for Toshiba and our relationship is still going smoothly. This rice cooker looks sleek and has several presets for other grains.
