The Versatile Air Fryer Toaster Oven That I Use More Than My $3,000 OvenTools
Earlier this year, my kitchen underwent a much anticipated renovation. I love to cook and entertain, so I splurged on higher-end appliances, including a Wi-Fi-connected range with dozens of features. But before we could enjoy the new space and appliances, we faced about three months without access to a kitchen. During that time, I relied heavily on Breville’s Compact Smart Oven Air Fryer.
I Tried the New $80 Dutch Oven That’s Almost Entirely Sold Out (and I Get Why)Tools
One of my favorite pieces of cookware is the Dutch oven. I like how you can transfer the hefty pot (and lid) between the stovetop and the oven and use a single piece of cookware to braise roasts or bake bread . I’ve tested 10 in the last two years, and I still use four of them because I love them so much. There’s one I use only for baking, another just for baking sourdough, and the two others are primarily for the stovetop unless a one-pan dinner calls for a Dutch oven.

I Just Moved into My First House and Immediately Got Caraway’s 40-Piece Kitchen Bundle — Here’s My Honest ReviewTools
My husband and I recently moved into our first house, and naturally the kitchen was the first room I wanted to get set up. That’s where Caraway’s Clean Start Bundle came in. Before we even moved into the house, I set up the whopping 40-piece set in the kitchen so I would be ready to cook, bake, chop, and store leftovers as soon as we were living there.
Every Mixing Bowl Type You Could Possibly Need (Each Has a Purpose)Tools
Mixing bowls are a major player in my kitchen. I have at least three full sets, and an individual bowl or two I like to use for primarily prepping and cooking veggies. They come in six main materials: plastic, glass, stainless steel, copper, ceramic, and silicone. The right choice depends on your cooking needs (mixing cake batter, melting chocolate over a double boiler, reheating pulled chicken before mixing it into a chicken salad) and how easy they are to clean.

The New $50 Appliance I’m Using to Make Fluffy Shaved Ice (It’s the Best I’ve Ever Used!)Tools
When I was a kid, my mom, sister, and I often went out for snow cones in the summer.

I’ve tested four as a shopping writer, and my new favorite is the Yonanas Portable Shaved Ice Maker. It’s such a fun way to enjoy a classic summertime treat without having to venture into the heat.
