Cuisinart LCD-Screen Griddler Five
Why get a griddle when you have a grill? Because it’s a do-it-all workhorse.
Thanks to its interchangeable nonstick plates and hinge close (use it open or closed), you can whip up everything from pancakes to paninis. Not to mention its small footprint, if you’re in an apartment or home where a full-sized outdoor grill isn’t an option.
Cuisinart Pure Indulgence Ice Cream Maker
A debatably dangerous addition.
An ice cream maker is something you’ll use year-round. Perfect for date nights—or just because cookies and cream sounds so, so good. Whip up a healthier version at home (and make a few pints to keep on hand).
Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper
Say goodbye to microwave popcorn.
The Whirley Pop makes delicious, theater-quality popcorn in minutes—whether you’re craving caramel, kettle or butter. It’s a fun, nostalgic addition to your kitchen, and perfect for movie nights at home.
Zojirushi Nl-BAC05 Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer, 3 Cup
No need to test the relationship with burnt rice.
A Zojirushi can make sushi rice, long-grain, basmati, brown or jasmine perfectly. Try cooking other grains, like quinoa and farro, too. Courtesy of what the brand calls “fuzzy logic,” a built-in microcomputer that can sense how your rice is cooking and adjust the time and temperature to get a perfect result.

Breville Joule Turbo Sous Vide
If you’re getting a little more chefy, this is a must.
Using a sous vide is beloved by pros because it gives you a precise cook, every time. It might sound like a complicated process, but the Joule Turbo allows you to control the cook using an app—simply select what you’re making (like a steak or salmon), and the Joule app will suggest the proper cook time for your desired doneness. Set it and forget it—it’s that easy.
Chef’sChoice Trizor XV Knife Sharpener
This oft forgot essential will ensure your new knife set lasts that much longer.
You can opt for a sharpening stone, but we recommend starting with something like this that can sharpen fine-edge, serrated and double- or single-bevel traditional Asian-style knives.
GE Profile Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker & Side Tank
It’s come to our attention that y’all are very specific about your ice. This appliance is for the Chick-Fil-A girlies who need their pebble ice at home.
It’s also great for entertaining when your fridge can’t keep up, producing that soft, chewable nugget ice everyone loves. The side tank ensures you have a continuous supply of ice, making it a fantastic addition to your home bar or kitchen.
Cuisinart Compact Automatic Bread Maker
If you didn’t enter your sourdough era in 2020, now’s the time.
While these machines might remind you of the registries of ole, they’ve had quite the resurgence. Fully automatic and easy to use, this bread maker offers 12 preprogrammed menu options and three crust-shade options for light, medium or dark crust—try making white, whole wheat, sourdough, French or Italian.
