Baking mats not only save time in cleaning off stuck on messes, they save money from the damage food can cause to baking sheets or with the purchase of oil, cooking sprays or parchment paper. We always make sure we have several of these mats available while cooking our favorite meals.

This Crock-pot slow cooker is our favorite for being large enough to feed a crowd and portable with its locking lid. Meat and vegetables cook evenly. The internal cooking pot can be microwaved, placed in the oven and is dishwasher safe.

This heavy duty square pan has a hard anodized exterior and is non-stick (no PFOA). We love that is evenly grills on the stovetop but easily can transfer to the oven. Perfect for searing meats!

Sometimes a quick hand blender is all you need for soups, shakes, smoothies, baby food, desserts, or hummus. This blender doesn't scratch pans/bowls and is perfect for medium thickness food blending.

Have the ability to move around the kitchen while this mixer does the heavy lifting (or rather mixing). We have included two models. We recommend the professional for large families or people who like to double batches or make bread.
