Available in festive prints—wintery snowflakes and a folksy, traditional Polish floral—these engraved rolling pins from Folkroll imprint a traditional Polish rosette on cookie dough or fondant. Made from solid beechwood and finished with food-safe oil, the pins engraved designs are deeper and more defined than other decorative rolling pins that leave only a faint or partial stamp. The imprint is clean and sharp, but the pin doesn’t stick to cookie dough if you dust it with a light sprinkle of sugar. While the pin’s most popular function is for cookies and baking, try it to emboss chocolate and marzipan, or even ceramics and clay..

This three-piece set of heavy-gauge stainless steel mixing bowls has a more durable construction than others. Each bowl has a black silicone lining on its bottom, which prevents the bowls from shifting and slipping during prep work. They are fairly tall-sided, rather than widening further from the base toward the rim; this means less food spilling out and a generous capacity to prepare large batches of food at a time. We also appreciate how the non-slip linings are tightly adhered to the bowls; on poorly made models, this rubberized base may detach and fall off over time.

Because of their robust construction and fine machining, Cuisipro’s award-winning precision tools are elevated kitchen essentials and a pleasure to use. These stainless steel measuring cups are our favorite brand because their perfectly flat rims make it easier for leveling off ingredients with a knife, while their elongated elliptical shape can fit into narrower containers. We found that the longer handles are useful for scooping ingredients—with these cups, you won’t need to stick your hand deep into a bag of flour each time you bake. These cups are also visually appealing; both the eyelet hole at the end of the cup and the handle shape have contours that echo the clever oval design.

For easy, spill-free pouring, these smartly designed silicone measuring cups are just the thing. The flexible material allows you to squeeze the cup and create a spout anywhere on its rim, adjusting as you pour. So whether you need precision pouring for runny liquids—like a thin stream of oil when emulsifying aioli—or a wider lip to quickly pour thick batters, the Flex-It Measuring Cups will work perfectly. Plus, the food-grade silicone can be used in the microwave and is heat-resistant up to 490 degrees Fahrenheit. It's also dishwasher-safe: We found that even after we left the cups sitting overnight with turmeric and chili, the silicone was easy to clean and didn't have any residual smells or stains. Choose between a three-piece set with 1-cup, 2-cup and 4-cup sizes, a set of 2-ounce measuring cups, or buy the largest cup on its own—it's large enough to mix up your favorite pancake batter without dirtying a bowl!

We know it’s easy to be skeptical of the infamous kitchen multitool, but believe us when we say the Flisk is not a gimmick. Our kitchen team was blown away by the quality. This nifty tool didn’t win a Red Dot design award for nothing. It seamlessly shifts between three different shapes with a simple click of the knob located at the end of the handle. The first setting is a classic balloon whisk, perfect for beating egg whites into stiff peaks or making a quick batch of homemade whipped cream, and another half-opened setting (it’s narrowly X shaped when looked at from above) is ideal for stirring sauces, as it can also sneak into the edges of pans to make sure everything’s evenly mixed. Lastly, it folds completely flat, which does wonders for deglazing a pan and also for easy, tangle-free storage. We found the durable plastic of the ergonomic handle to stand up to a good amount of wear and tear and so can the Flisk’s 10 wires. They’re made from high-vibration spring steel to give you maximum aeration efficiency with (this means fluffy frostings in a flash) and are hygienically sealed within the handle.

This cake pan is our top pick for brownies and birthday cakes, as the silicone prevents food from sticking and eliminates the need for greasing the pan. Each Trudeau pan is made from silicone with an internal steel frame around to top rim for added structure, so it won’t flop around like other silicone bakeware. And silicone is generally known for being easy to clean and for providing exceptionally even browning. We love how even delicate cakes slide out fairly easily with some slight flexing of the pan, though a light layer of butter might be welcome for especially delicate desserts. Note: Silicone does heat differently than glass or metal. Your bake time may be a few minutes longer than the recipe suggests.

This fluted cake pan is our top pick for bundt cakes and more, as the silicone prevents food from sticking and eliminates the need for greasing the pan. Each Trudeau pan is made from silicone with an internal steel frame around the top rim for added structure, so it won’t flop around like other silicone bakeware. And silicone is generally known for being easy to clean and for providing exceptionally even browning. While bundt cakes typically get stuck in the pan and tear due to their complex shape (causing some serious heartache), this pan cuts down on the chances of that 10-fold—though, you can use a light layer of butter still if you’d like. Note: Silicone does heat differently than glass or metal. Your bake time may be a few minutes longer than the recipe suggests.

A true deep-dish pie plate, this 9-inch dish from Jefferson Street Ceramics is a must-have for your largest pies. Shaped by hand from custom-mixed clay, each piece of elegant, durable stoneware accommodates a pie that’s 9 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, more substantial than shallower pie plates that only claim to be deep dish. Every plate is complete with a classic fluted edge, a guide for crimped edges, and can withstand temperatures up to 575F°. Available in sunny Yellowstone or a classic, creamy New England White.

Made of black clay, a typical medium for traditional Colombian pottery, this 2-quart casserole works beautifully for roasting vegetables, poultry or meat or for baked pastas like lasagna. La Chamba’s casserole dishes are still made the traditional way, by families in central Colombia who practice their craft on the banks of the Magdalena River. This striking black baker transitions easily from kitchen to table; the unglazed clay has a light, sophisticated sheen and the casserole will retain heat long after coming off of the heat, thanks to the naturally occurring mica in the clay. As each piece is handmade by Colombian artisans, slight imperfections in form or finish are to be expected. It is appropriate for the oven or microwave, but despite being incredibly sturdy and long-lasting, black clay pieces should be heated slowly, as they can’t withstand drastic changes in temperature.

Designed to upgrade desserts, this engraved round stamp from Folkroll imprints a traditional Polish flower on cookie dough or fondant. Made from solid beechwood and finished with food-safe oil, the stamp’s engraved design is deeper and more defined than shallower, blunter versions that leave only a faint or partial stamp. The imprint is clean and sharp, but the stamp doesn’t stick to cookie dough if you dust it with a light sprinkle of sugar. While the stamp’s most popular function is for cookies and baking, try it to emboss chocolate and marzipan, or even ceramics and clay.
