If you’ve been resisting the air fryer hype, now’s the time to give in.
If you’re not familiar with this product, all you need to know is that it can bake, grill, fry and roast meals up to 30% faster than using the oven, ordering DoorDash or going to your in-laws who can cook. From crispy air-fried snacks to perfectly roasted meats, why make dinner harder than it needs to be?

Nothing says “I’m getting married” more than a KitchenAid. This may be the number one most-asked-for item on every wedding registry.
While it does cost a pretty penny, it’s worth it. This machine can mix, whip, knead and make noodles whenever you want. Midnight chocolate chip cookies? This is the machine behind the magic. Not to mention it comes in so many colors, you can decorate your whole kitchen around it.
Le Creuset Signature Braiser, 2.25 Qt
A Le Creuset is a home chef’s best friend.
Perfect for braising short ribs, making paella, sautéing vegetables, deep-frying chicken, roasting pork chops, baking casseroles and so much more. Its iconic design is something you can take from oven to table as a beautiful serving dish.
Staub Round Dutch Oven, 5.5 Qt
Debatably the most essential kitchen tool: a Dutch oven.
