Meghan Markle’s Cooking Show Has Split the Internet, but Her Taste in Kitchen Gear Is Undeniable
Whenever a new celebrity cooking show drops it splits the internet. Regardless of how excited you are for these series there’s no denying that the visuals are stunning and usually, their kitchen gear collection is incredibly well-rounded. Meghan Markle’s new show With Love, Meghan, is no exception.
While watching each episode, I couldn’t help but geek over everything she was using, whether it was the enameled cast iron braiser we think she grabbed for the crusty herby focaccia or the sharp knife she used to slice a gorgeous layer cake. Everything she uses makes cooking and hosting so much easier, so they’re excellent choices for your spring and summer kitchen. I went through to find all of my favorite kitchen products I spotted throughout the show, starting at just $15, for you and me to shop.

Nordic Ware Half Sheet with Oven-Safe Nonstick Grid
Amazon
Markle uses a sheet pan with a wire rack, like this one from Nordic Ware, to glaze some seriously stunning donuts with one of her guests, Los Angeles chef Roy Choi. We love Nordic Ware’s baking sheets for their thick and sturdy aluminum material, which conducts heat evenly. Use it daily for baking, and because of the added rack, you can use it when you’re glazing donuts, roasting crispy tofu or keeping pancakes warm.
Bodum 34-Ounce Chambord French Press Coffee Maker
Amazon
I’d love to be served coffee by Markle from this Bodum French press—not just because it’s Meghan Markle, but because this French press makes seriously tasty coffee. I love using mine on days when I want something simple. It’s even great for traveling—I have packed it on trips with some ground beans to make my own coffee.
Zulay Kitchen Metal 2-in-1 Lemon Squeezer
Amazon
Markle is often seen using citrus, and this $15 lemon squeezer looks incredibly similar to the one she uses to get all of the juice out. It has a larger yellow section on the bottom for lemons and a smaller green section above for limes. Just pop in your fruit halves, press and squeeze. The juicer has built-in seed catchers, so you can squeeze freely without worrying.
Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser
Amazon
We see her making delicious focaccia with a braiser that looks similar to this model from Le Creuset. However, she uses it for more than that, showing how versatile this cookware can be. Its wide diameter gives you plenty of surface area for searing, sauteing, braising and baking. Because it has higher walls, it can be used for high-volume recipes. The domed lid helps you bake and keeps your food warm.
Shun Classic 5-Piece Knife Block Set
Amazon
Markle uses Shun’s Classic knives throughout her show. These high-quality Japanese knives are made of slim, lightweight stainless steel with a sleek pakkawood handle. The knife set includes a chef’s knife, a paring knife, a utility knife and honing steel, which are stored neatly in a slim bamboo knife block.
Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven
Amazon
This Dutch oven is another versatile piece of cookware that pops up throughout the show. Markle uses it to make jam, but it’s also perfect for soups, stews, broths, homemade bread, sauces and more. After rigorous testing, we ranked the Le Creuset Dutch ovens as our favorite splurge-worthy pick, and it seems Markle herself approves.
Y Yhy 30-Ounce Pasta Bowl Set, 6-Pack
Amazon
I spotted Markle serving some of her dishes in pasta bowls, and it only further proved my opinion that everyone should own a set. I own this Y Yhy set and find that it makes for an excellent option if you’re looking to add a set to your collection for the first time. They’re $5 apiece and have the perfect weight and feel for everyday use. I love that they’re dishwasher- and microwave-safe for ease of use.
Fat Daddio’s 9-Inch Anodized Aluminum Round Cake Pan Set, 2-Pack
Amazon
As a baker, I couldn’t help but love the layer cake she made. While I don’t know exactly what cake pans she used, they immediately reminded me of Fat Daddio’s pans, which are some of my favorites. They conduct heat beautifully and are highly durable. After years of use, they haven’t warped or dented. Not only that, but they clean up easily because of their smooth finish.
OXO Good Grips Large Cookie Scoop
Amazon
Markle is seen scooping some ice cream into very chic glasses with a scoop that looks similar to my favorite one from OXO. I couldn’t live without this scoop in my kitchen. I use it for ice cream, cookie dough, meatballs and more. This is the large scoop, which measures 3 inches in diameter. My favorite feature is the built-in wiper that glides along the inside of the scooper to release whatever’s inside.
Vitamix Propel 510 Blender
Amazon
Unsurprisingly, Markle’s kitchen is fitted with a Vitamix blender. These upright blenders live up to their hype—I absolutely love mine. This Propel 510 is a great place to start because it has every function you need. The front dial has speeds from one to 10, along with three presets for smoothies, hot soups and frozen desserts. The pulsing switch allows for some added control. This blender comes with a 48-ounce pitcher with a tapered base to help get that signature Vitamix vortex as you blend.
Anchor Hocking 10-Piece Mixing Bowl Set
Amazon
No kitchen is complete without mixing bowls, and Markle uses glass ones like the Anchor Hocking ones a lot. This set is excellent because it includes 10 different pieces that nest together for streamlined storage. They’re also microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
