Instant Marinater

One thing that always kills me about marinating meats? It takes SO LONG. This magic little thing does it in just 20 minutes! Pretty snazzy and not too expensive!

Lodge 3.6 Quart Enamel Cast Iron Casserole Dish

I love a gorgeous dish like this. Recently I've fallen in love with all of Lodge's products. It's less expensive that the big name brands but it lasts just as long!

Gooseneck Electric Water Kettle

For tea and coffee lovers, an electric water kettle is a must! It also happens to be an amazing little appliance to have in the kitchen when you need a up to three cups of boiling water QUICK. Love using this for risotto and pasta dishes!

Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender

Of all the Vitamix blenders, this is my favorite! It's the smaller of the lines, it is a workhorse, and works in place of a food processor as well.

Heat Resistant Microwave Splatter Covers

Lids for pots and pans are heavy and awkward, so these silicone lids are serious space savers! They help prevent splatters so you don't have as big of a mess to clean up, but can also be used in regular cooking the way a lid would for covered cooking.

COSORI Air Fryer Max XL

Air fryers are still a big deal right now, so if you know someone without one, this is the best one to grab! It does everything you need it to, plus it has a big basket.

Instant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker with Air Fryer Lid

This is the two-in-one gift to spoil someone with this year! The Instant Pot (as you all know) is my favorite appliance in the kitchen and I use it almost every day. With the air fryer attachment, it turns into an air fryer and roaster so you can get even more cooking functions out of it!
