Yes you will reach for that chef’s knife morning, noon, and night.

I have been writing for the BuzzFeed Shopping team since 2020, with an emphasis on home goods, kitchen gadgets and must-have Amazon products, but when she's not writing, you'll find her eating cheese and watching reality television, though not necessarily at the same time.

Promising review: “What a gorgeous addition to my kitchen. Beautifully constructed and a favorite, much remarked upon, piece of gear that is always on prominent display on my counter!” —John R

Promising review: “Love it! It's so deep and has a cover for cooking and storing. Cooks evenly. Cleans easily. This deep dish is the right size for a chicken pot pie, a chicken-mushroom lasagna, and a breakfast casserole that wouldn't fit in any other dish. Love this item! Worth the price.” —BikenL

Promising review: “This has been my go-to olive oil for salads, cooking, and finishing for many years. It is flavorful yet does not overpower the delicate ingredients. I visit SLT stores just to purchase this product!” —Susan B

Price: $12.95+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: “These spatulas work great! They lift food from a skillet easily, and the non-stick surface is perfect. Turning food, such as pancakes or a grilled cheese sandwich, is easy. These are workhorses in my kitchen.” —Gwendolyn R

Promising review: “This oven is fantastic! We had the previous version of this oven without the air fryer and loved it for years! We used it for roasting, broiling, and baking. It did everything a full-size oven can do, without heating up the entire kitchen. But I was really interested in the air fryer. It did not disappoint! So far, I've only used it to crisp up a leftover dosa from lunch, but it did the job perfectly in less than two minutes! I am looking forward to all the things I will be using it for. I have not made (or reheated) pizza yet, but I'm looking forward to that, too. Great purchase!” —Nikki G

Price: $349.95 (available in five colors)

Promising review: “I have had these towels for over a year. They are very absorbent, and I love them. I use them for drying dishes, cleaning up spills, taking pans out of the oven — everything for the kitchen. They wash easily, hold their shape, and have held up quite well.” —Jennifer G

Price: $24.95 (available in four colors)

Promising review: “I love this blender! It is very solid and heavy-duty. The blades are sharp to blend up anything you send its way. I like the variety of speeds, and my favorite is the self-cleaning option. Appliances are always hard to clean, but this one is very easy. The instructions for a quick start are very helpful too!” —Yasmeen L

Promising review: “I received a Shun Santoku knife a few years ago and have loved it. I finally bought this chef's knife and cannot believe how sharp it is and how balanced and controllable it is. So happy to have this.” —John H

Price: $169.95+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "This is an awesome, very versatile favorite skillet. I use it for many things. It's spacious enough to handle many ingredients for a nice-sized meal. Love the enameled finish!" —Richard W

Price: $259.95 (available in seven colors)

Promising reviews: “The KitchenAid mixer is a delight to work with. It has a strong motor. Consistent at all speeds and folds in mixes beautifully. I can recommend this mixer to any home baker. It's an important kitchen utility that works on its own.” —R Jennings M

"Just bought it last month. We have two attachments so far — ice cream and shaved ice. We use the Kitchenaid for meatloaf (to knead) and chicken and dumplings. It also makes delicious ice cream (not low-calorie), and the shave ice attachments come with two different blades (fine and coarse). We are taking the ravioli class at Sur La Table this week, so I reckon the pasta attachment is next. If you like to cook and get your hands a little dirty, this is a worthwhile purchase." —Sean P

Promising review: “Works brilliantly on our induction stovetop! Wonderfully non-stick after recommended seasoning. Highly recommended.” —Robert W

Promising reviews: “The perfect bowl!! In addition to pasta, the bowls are perfect for salads, a smothered baked potato, and more. The bowls have become favorites and are used daily. Love the earthy colors!” —Stuart S

"These bowls are so pretty, sturdy, and I enjoy the array of colors. They're good for soups, pastas, rice bowls, salads, pretty much anything you like to eat. I personally haven't had any issues myself, stacking them neatly in my kitchen cupboard. Just be gentle with them as you would with any dish. These are honestly amazing and good quality, and you can't go wrong with a pop of color in your kitchen pantry." —Richard Z

Price: $19.95 (available in eight colors)

Promising review: “Great mills. Easy and fast grind, and they look great on the table.” —Nola H

Price: $109.95 (available in two colors)

This set includes measuring cups in the following sizes: ¼ cup, ⅓ cup, ½ cup, ⅔ cup, ¾ cup, and 1 cup.

Promising reviews: "Great heavy-duty measuring cups. Good weight, don't fall over, and no concerns about the handles bending. It was a splurge, but I should have these forever."  —Jennifer H

“Substantial build, sturdy, made to last. Measuring cup sizes are well marked and include corresponding metric measures. Bought these to replace an aging (40-plus years) plastic set. Nice to have a full set of six again.” —Magdalene V

This set includes a half-sheet pan, a quarter-sheet pan, and a jelly roll pan.

Promising review: “I love these sheet pans! They are the only ones I use! Easy to clean up and they always look brand-new!!” —Debbie B

Promising review: “This is a beautiful and highly functional spoon, and it makes me happy to use it. I really love the grain in the wood.” —Joanna K

Promising review: “Love these pinch mitts! The silicone palm keeps everything right where it's supposed to be, and I never have to worry about dropping anything. Very comfortable and easy to use.” —Nancy Y

Promising review: “Excellent! Worth having a very well-made colander, which I have not appreciated until now. Great shape, superior finish, good size, and the supports keep it well above the sink bottom and allows it to fit neatly in the dishwasher.” —Sharon F

Price: $44.95+ (available in three sizes)

This set includes four salad forks, four dinner forks, four knives, four soup spoons, and four teaspoons.

Promising review: “Beautiful, unique, quality. I love this set.” —Cheryl S

This set includes an 8-inch skillet, a 10-inch skillet, 2- and 3-quart saucepans with lids, a 3-quart sauté pan with a helper handle and lid, and an 8-quart stockpot with a lid.

Promising reviews: "Wonderful set of pots and pans — we love cooking with these; pans and food heat evenly, and they are beautiful as well."—Christina H

“I really enjoy cooking with the All-Clad D3 product set. My previous cookware was heavy, difficult to handle, and hard to clean. The D3 product heats well, is easy to handle and transfer, and is super easy to clean. It is a joy to cook again.” —Kenneth D

Promising review: “Great design. Well made. Lovely addition to my kitchen.” —Edythe S

This five-piece set comes with a ladle, a solid spoon, a slotted spoon, a turner, and a storage caddy. The utensils are also dishwasher safe!

Promising review: "My favorite kind of tools. Every kitchen needs this! Great wedding present." —Sarah H

Promising review: “Beautiful! Great for everyday family salads!” —Laurie L

Promising review: “Love this bowl! I make all of our bread due to food allergies, and I really needed a bowl that could hold a double batch of bread or rolls without rising over the top. It's hard to find a nice big mixing bowl that you can be confident is lead-free. This is perfect, and despite the large size, it's not too heavy. I also love that my kids can help me mix, and with the large bowl, I don't have to worry about them spilling.” —Jessica H

Promising reviews: "I've got five of these! When we have company over for hors d'oeuvres, there is one for each dish. All those picky eaters who won't eat the carrot sticks because someone took one with their bare hand can now eat to their heart's content. Not to mention getting toast out of the toaster, or muffins out of the microwave, or a self-serve salad, etc. I use them all the time!" —Serge Z

“These small tongs enable you to pick up very small pieces of food without disturbing everything around it. REALLY! Best ones that I have ever found! The tips are silicone-tipped, which enables you to use them on any type of pan. They are also dishwasher safe!” —Jean R

Price: $12.95 (available in five colors)

Promising reviews: “This strainer is excellent for use when straining large quantities. It cleans easily by hand and comes out of the dishwasher shining. I highly recommend this item and wish I had bought it sooner!” —Mary L

"I like this small screen mesh. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Comfortable handle. Easy to balance atop a large measuring cup or mixing bowl." —Linda P
