OXO Good Grips Food Scale
Weighing your ingredients is easier than using measuring cups with less cream up, and far more precise. A true kitchen win-win.
OXO Good Grips Food Scale, $33 on Amazon.com
Tovolo Pro-Grade Silicone Pastry Mat
Pastry mats prevent anything from sticking to the counter and make transferring and rolling things a breeze.
Tovolo Pro-Grade Silicone Pastry Mat, $25 on Amazon.com
Lavatools Javelin Pro Professional Digital Instant Meat Thermometer
This thermometer is fantastic for temping. It reads temp instantly and clearly, which I love for everything from meats, to caramels, and oil.
Lavatools Javelin Pro Professional Digital Instant Meat Thermometer, $55 on Amazon.com
Staub 5 1/2-Qt. Round Dutch Oven
This is great for making sourdough, soups, and everything in between. The dark iron finish inside is easy to maintain, especially for high temp cooking.
Staub 5 1/2-Qt. Round Dutch Oven, $223 on Amazon.com
Silpat Premium Non-Stick Baking Mat
These mats are great for cookies; reusable, nothing sticks and the cookies take on just a bit less color on the bottom.
Silpat Premium Non-Stick Baking Mat, $21 on Amazon.com
Ateco Reusable Piping Bag
Simply put, these NEVER break.
Ateco Reusable Piping Bag, $6 on Amazon.com
Celebrational Sale 11-Piece Round Stainless Steel Cookie Cutter Set
I love these for cookies (both cutting out and rounding after baking), biscuits, and donuts.

Danish Dough Whisk
So much better than a balloon whisk for mixing doughs.
