Cuisipro Measuring Spoons
Every element of these stainless steel measuring spoons was thoughtfully designed to conveniently reach the bottoms of your most narrow spice containers, from the oval bowl to the long, slender handle. Their durable stainless steel feels sturdy and balanced in the hand, and the contours of the handle are comfortable to grip. We especially like that the spoons feature a gentle curve at the end that keeps them upright on countertops—no more spilled salt—and helps the spoons neatly nest into each other for compact storage.
Genicook 10-Piece Set
Never go rummaging around for a matching lid again with 10-piece set of nesting glass bowls and snap-on lids. Genicook’s bowls are made of sturdy borosilicate glass, the same material as science beakers, which makes them less likely to crack, chip or scratch. They are safe for the oven, microwave and dishwasher, and when not in use, simply stack the bowls with the lids on and cover with the largest lid. It’s equipped with a carry handle for easy transferring from cabinet to counter.
Dreamfarm Flisk 3-in-1 Whisk
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.
Cuisipro Measuring Cups
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.

Ankarsrum Assistent Original Stand Mixer — Glossy Finish
Stand mixers are one of the most versatile tools in the kitchen, yet most are clunky, inefficient and can’t handle larger portions of dough without rocking on the counter or speeding down substantially. But thanks to a bit of Swedish ingenuity, Ankarsrum has come up with a one-of-a-kind design that maximizes capability and stands up to hefty quantities of dough. Normal mixers have a bowl that doesn’t move and beaters that do move. The Ankarsrum has a stainless steel bowl that spins, while the blade, beaters and other attachments stay in place. No more stopping and starting your mixer to scrape the sides of the bowl your beater can’t reach. The spinning bowl results in more mixing power without overexerting the quiet, spiral gear shaft motor. That’s why it can easily accommodate heavier doughs (up to 11 pounds) and even has motor feedback to help regulate speed on its own.
Not making dough? Simply swap the stainless bowl for the included BPA-free 4-quart beater bowl (does not spin, comes with attached drive shaft) to mix, whisk and combine batters, cream butter and sugar, whip cream and frosting and more.
The Ankarsrum’s unique design offers a stable, low weight distribution, tremendous torque, infinitely variable speed and a timer for automatic shutoff. Plus, because there’s nothing blocking the top of the bowl, adding in ingredients while the mixer is on has never been easier. Even better? This mixer is several pounds lighter than your run-of-the-mill stand mixer and more low profile, making it easier to take in and out of storage for use. The entire set comes complete with the mixer motor base, a 7.4-quart stainless steel bowl, a 4-quart BPA-free whipping bowl, a dough roller, dough scraper, dough hook, proofing lid, spatula, double beater/whisks and cake beater whisks, as well as a starter guide and recipe book. Available in a variety of colors with a glossy finish.
