KitchenAid Mini Stand Mixer

“You can never go wrong with a KitchenAid stand mixer. Ever since I started in the industry when I was young, I have always worked with a KitchenAid stand mixer. It quickly became a necessity in any kitchen I worked in due to its great design, reliability, and various attachments that make it so versatile.” — Ciro Fodera, Executive Chef, Capo Restaurant & Supper Club, Boston

Ninja Flip Air Fryer Toaster Oven

“I personally have one of these in my house and consistently use it every day. It’s easy to clean, the various modes are all effective, and there [are] seemingly endless uses you can get out of it. I would use one in a professional kitchen.” — Ciro Fodera

Lodge Cast Iron Skillet

“I use this [cast iron skillet] for everything — from crispy breakfast hash to perfectly seared steaks. It’s durable, retains heat like nothing else, and only gets better with time” — Kyle Taylor, Founder and Chef, He Cooks

Weston Burger Press

“I love a great burger, and with warmer weather coming, it’s almost time to fire up the grill! Whether I’m making delicious hamburgers, turkey burgers, stuffed burgers, crab cakes, vegan burgers, or sausage patties, this burger press helps me create the perfect patty every time. The innovative spring plunger compacts the patty and then pops it back up for easy removal from the nonstick press without tearing it. I can adjust the thickness and create uniform patties that cook evenly and don’t fall apart when cooking.” — Lynne Just, Chef and Consumer Test Kitchen Manager, Hamilton Beach

Cosori Air Fryer

\“Buying a cheap or sub-par air fryer can help you shave off some dollars to get this hot new appliance on a small budget. However, if you don’t buy a good one, you could end up with burnt or unevenly cooked food, ruined counters, or worse. I use the Cosori air fryer in my kitchen!” — Cathy Yoder, Author, Easy Air Fryer Recipes

Typhur Wireless Meat Thermometer

“As a chef passionate about precision, I always say that great cooking starts with control, and that’s exactly what this meat thermometer gives you. This gadget makes it so easy to keep tabs on your food from anywhere in the house, even if you’re entertaining guests or watching the game. I’m always juggling flavors and textures in my kitchen, so having that kind of mobility and confidence in your temps is a huge win. I’m planning to get another one for myself because this is the kind of tool that blends modern tech with culinary tradition. Whether you’re searing steaks or slow-cooking pork shoulder, this thermometer takes the guesswork out of the process and lets you focus on the soul of the dish.” — Jorge Mas, Partner & Corporate Chef, Kuba Cabana, Miami

Lavatools Javelin Pro Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer

“This probe is ideal for checking the temperature of anything, including meats, bread, and coffee. It is accurate, easy to read, water-resistant, and fairly durable.” – Janet Hoediono

Farberware Granite Molcajete

“As a chef, I’m always looking for tools that enhance efficiency and elevate flavors in the kitchen. Amazon’s Spring Sale is a great time to stock up on essentials, and I have a few favorites I always keep in rotation. A high-quality molcajete is a must — it’s the best way to grind spices, make salsas, and infuse depth into traditional Mexican dishes.” — Chef Richard Sandoval, Richard Sandoval Hospitality 

Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker

“With the ability to pressure cook, slow cook, sous vide, sauté, sterilize, make yogurt, warm food, bake cake, steam, and more, this [Instant Pot] is the ultimate kitchen multitasker. Whether in a professional kitchen or at home, it helps cut down cooking time while offering a range of functions.” — Eric LeVine, Chef and Partner, 42 Hotel, Brooklyn
