    Our Favorite Kitchen Tools

    Here is a behind the scenes peek into some of our favorite kitchen tools that we can't live without. Add a couple to your Christmas list or pick one or two to give to a Gr8 Friend, or Mom for Mother's Day, or Dad for Father's Day, or Christmas, or... well, you get the idea!

    Three KitchenAid Mixers, one of our favorite kitchen tools.

    Appliances

    • KitchenAid Mixer - we each love our KitchenAid stand mixers. But any electric mixer is Gr8 in a kitchen!
    • Immersion Blender - It's small to store and perfect for creaming soups. And you don't have to wash the big blender! (Just click on the photo to find it!)
    • Nespresso - If you love coffee or espresso, this is the machine to have. Easy to clean and makes a Gr8 cup!
    • Keurig - So perfect for so many things. Easy to use for a variety of beverages.
    • Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor - Chop nuts, grind herbs, these little guys have many uses!
    • A new favorite is the Instant Pot! We each now have one and we're loving creating new recipes.

    Cookware

    • Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven - These are Gr8 because they cook efficiently. We love our Le Creuset Dutch Ovens.
    • Cast-Iron Skillet - Every home needs one! And if you get one handed down to you, hold on to it!

    Small Gadgets

    • Digital Candy Thermometer - A must if you are making our Toffee or Caramels
    • Digital Meat Thermometer - We each use one when cooking any kind of meat.
    ThermoWorks Thermapen Mk4
    • Zyliss Cheese Grater - need we say more?
    • Mini–Mandolin - This Kyocera slicer is a brilliant addition to any kitchen. Small, easy to store and a breeze to use for small jobs, like slicing cucumbers for a salad!
    • Digital Scale
    • Citrus Squeezer
    • 1 ½" & 2" Cookie Scoopers - great for cookie dough, filling mini cupcake tins, making fruit balls...so many applications!
    • Salad Spinner - Use it for washing lettuce, herbs, fruit... anything!
