Cookbook Display Stand
COURTESY OF TARGET
"Collecting and displaying cookbooks is one of my favorite things about my kitchen, and this stand makes it so much easier. It also makes my plethora of cookbooks practical by holding open the recipe I need without pages flying back or laying flat on the countertop in the splatter-zone."
— Halee Miller, Editorial Assistant
OXO GreenSavers
COURTESY OF OXO
"I love cooking with fresh herbs but it was a struggle to prevent them from wilting after a few days. With the Herb Keeper, my cilantro and parsley stay crisp for weeks with minimal upkeep. I loved this design so much that I bought the OXO Produce Saver where I store washed berries for easy snacking and breakfast toppers."
— Casey Oto, Visuals Editor
Souper Cubes
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"Soup is my favorite thing to make any time of the year. In the event I make too much to eat before leftovers go bad or I decide to make a couple different soups for the week, these Souper Cubes help me portion out and freeze the soup for later. Simply popping out a cube and warming it up makes a super easy weeknight meal or quick lunch option."
— Katlyn Moncada, Food Editor
Aarke Water Carbonator
COURTESY OF AARKE
"Full disclosure: This is 100% a splurge item. But we love sparkling water in our house, and I'm aesthetically motivated, so when I found this gorgeous water-carbonator, I was sold. It's sturdy, works fantastically, and looks super sleek on the countertop."
— Oma Blaise Ford, Executive Editor
Blue Apron Meal Kits
COURTESY OF BLUE APRON
"I love to cook, but I often find myself making the same tried and true recipes over and over. We recently started ordering Blue Apron once a month, and it’s been such a fun way to try new recipes and experiment with ingredients I haven’t cooked with before. I love that everything comes pre-portioned, so I’m not buying a whole jar of a sauce I’ll only use a few tablespoons of. Their crab cakes with homemade tartar sauce is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, and it was so easy to make!"
— Emily VanSchmus, Home Editor
Hestan Chef's Pan
COURTESY OF HESTAN
"This chef's pan is definitely an investment but its one that will last a lifetime. I cook at home a lot and I find myself reaching for this pan almost every day. It cooks super evenly and is the perfect size for making pasta, mashing potatoes, or even making smaller quantities of soups. I've had it for years and it has held up beautifully. It's hands down the best pan I own."
— Sarah Martens, Senior Food Editor
Proctor-Silex 2-Slice Toaster
COURTESY OF PROCTOR SILEX
"Everything that can be annoying about a toaster has been eliminated with this one. Its wide slots fit a variety of breads, from hearty bagels to nearly flat toaster pastries. It also has a "Toast Boost" feature that lifts up smaller items so no more burned fingers. It has simple controls for 7 shades of toasting, and a slide out crumb tray makes for quick cleaning. And my favorite thing is that you can set it to just toast one slice instead of wasting energy on heating up an empty slot."
— Viveka Neveln, Senior Garden Editor
Silicone Ice Cube Trays
COURTESY OF WALMART
"I’ve been more conscious about food waste lately, and these easy ice trays make it easy to save leftover ingredients. Recently I made a tortilla soup that called for a few tablespoons of heavy cream. I wasn’t going to use the rest of the container right away, so I froze the leftovers and now have cubes ready toss in next time I make a creamy soup. I also use these to freeze almond and oat milk so they’re ready for smoothies!"
— Emily VanSchmus, Home Editor
Dorhors Mug Tree
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"Alright, I'll admit—I might have one too many mugs. With my cabinets overflowing, I will take any opportunity to display my favorites, and this mug tree does just that. It is compact enough to sit on my counter, but large enough to show off up to six of my most-prized mugs."
— Claire Hoppe, Editorial Apprentice
