Cheesecakes come in many different flavors but one thing necessary to make a good cheesecake is a great springform pan. This sturdy pan is fantastic at containing the batter without leaks. The non-stick surface is PTFE free.

We love that the metal bowls on this manual juicer extract so much juice from lemons, limes and oranges while leaving the seeds behind.

With 6 cup sizes and 6 spoon sizes, measuring is easy with this measuring set. This measuring set nests together and has loop holes to keep them together in the drawer.

This heavy duty pan is excellent for searing and cooking meat and vegetables, but we also love baking rolls and brownies in them for a lovely crust. It transfers effortlessly from stovetop to oven. This heavy duty pan can do it all.

The perfect bite sized sweet morsels come from the perfect mini cupcake pan and this large pan creates 48 sweet bites on one batch. While large, it fits into a standard oven and is non-stick for easy cupcake/muffin removal and cleaning.

Having a set of measuring spoons with both metric and U.S. measurement engraved markings is vital when using international recipes. This stainless steel measuring set has a rectangular design to fit into most spice jars.

We found it is vital to have both flexible and more rigid spatulas for different types of cooking. These spatulas are perfect for more rigid scraping, mixing and scooping while being heat resistant to 600 degrees.

Popcorn needs a finer, more flavorful salt and this Morton Popcorn Salt perfectly accompanies homemade popcorn.

Best thing about this pan: it is coated with a silicone coating which is PTFE, PFOA and BPA free so muffins and cupcakes come out clean without paper liners.

These USA made glass measuring cups allow the accurate measurement of liquids without staining. Liquids easily pour out and the cups are microwave, oven, refrigerator and dishwasher safe.

Have the ability to move around the kitchen while this mixer does the heavy lifting (or rather mixing). We have included two models. The Artisan is great for smaller families and single batches.

Movie night isn't complete without popcorn and these USA produced kernels have very few unpopped kernals each time. Great flavor!
