As a Chef, Engineer, and creator, I have extremely high standards for the products I use let alone recommend. I have every one of these products and use them often, sometimes daily. These are some of my favorite kitchen must-have items. Add these to your wishlist for the holidays! Wish lists help folks buy you exactly what you want.
Wish Lists for Everything
Do you keep wish lists? If so, do you just add everything you want onto a single list or do you break it down into say categories, rooms, and so forth? I have my own and break them down. However, I’m a bit extreme, as, for example, when it comes to kitchen items, I’ll break them down into smaller lists.
For example kitchen equipment, utensils, baking (trays, racks, etc), cooking (pots, pans, dutch ovens), and pizza items.
Instant Products
I have been a die-hard Instant Pot fan since it first came out. I have several of them and love them all! When it came to an air fryer I did a ton of research and testing on many different brands. The Instant Vortex blew every other brand out of the water. It is by far superior to all others on the market!
Instant Pot® RIO™ Wide 7.5-quart Multicooker
I use this at least once a week. What I love about it is that it’s such a wide base. It can hold a 5 lb. chicken or 3 racks of ribs!
Instant™ Vortex® Plus Dual Black 8-quart Air Fryer with ClearCook
I have this and absolutely LOVE IT!!! I can cook 2 different things at once! Twin baskets for convenience, plus check on cooking without opening the basket with the ClearCook window
John Boos Cutting Boards / Butcher Blocks
I have been a die-hard John Boos fan for decades. They are THE BEST boards I have ever used in my personal and professional career. Just like cast iron, when these boards are given proper tlc, they can be passed from generation to generation.
Maple Chopping Block, Reversible, End Grain, 2-1/4″ Thick
I have this in 2 sizes and they are my workhorses! I use mine daily for everything. Plus, they look amazing as the setting for a grazing board!
Maple Square Cutting Board With Juice Groove 1-3/4″ Thick
What I love about this specific board is that it has a juice groove in it which prevents liquids from spilling out when you slice into meats.
Emile Henry Products
There are not enough adjectives to describe just how much I LOVE their products! Their items are truly versatile! From the stovetop to the oven, pizza oven to table, fridge to freezer they do it all! I have so many of their products from over the years and honestly, I don’t think I could pick a favorite one as they are THAT GOOD!
Emile Henry 5.5qt Dutch Oven
It’s not only stunningly beautiful but it’s truly one of the best Dutch Ovens I’ve ever used. It can be used in the oven, on the stove, or on the grill! Plus it can go directly from the freezer to the oven to the table!
Emile Henry 14″ Round Pizza Stone
I LOVE their pizza stones. I’ve had mine for over a decade and have used it thousands of times and it still is amazing! You can re-create amazing brick-oven pizza with this stone. Plus you can use it in the oven or grill!
Bosch Mixer
Bosch Universal Plus Mixer
This is by far THE BEST home mixer I have ever EVER used! It’s lightweight but a beast in the kitchen. It can handle up to 22 cups of flour and produces almost 15 pounds of dough!

Wireless Thermometer
Never undercook or overcook again! These wireless thermometers are THE BEST I’ve ever used! I have a bunch of these and will often use several of them at the same time when I’m cooking multiple different items!
MEATER 2 Plus
As someone who cooks and grills (often live fire) I rely on my MEATER 2 Plus. What I love about it is that it can handle a longer range. And the best part, it’s dishwasher safe AND it also can handle direct flame grilling up to 1000F!
Brod & Taylor Products
It all started with a bread proofer from Brod & Taylor I got maybe 10+ years ago and I was immediately hooked. I have a fair amount of their products but these 2 I use most often. From homesteading with the dehydrator to sharp knives, these are a must-have!
Brod & Taylor Sahara Folding Dehydrator
Right now mine is being used almost daily thanks to my high-producing garden! I’m huge into homesteading and wasting as little as possible! From jerky to dried spices, and jarred soup mixes to dehydrated meals, this is a must-have!
Brod & Taylor Professional VG2 Knife Sharpener
A sharp knife is the single most important thing to have in a kitchen! This is the best knife sharpener I have ever used! It has a 3-Action – sharpens, hones, and handles serrated knives!
Arctic Zone Products
I have a few different Titan by Arctic Zone and Titan Pro coolers and seriously they are THE BEST in the industry! When I’m working in the BBQ pit one of these is always near me either full of supplies or lots of drinks. Plus these coolers are PERFECT for when you want to rest your long-smoked meats!
Titan by Arctic Zone 16 Can Cooler
This one here holds 16 cans, has an easy zipperless lid, hardbody outside, and can keep ice cold for up to 2 days! Click my link to automatically save 10% off your entire order!
DI ORO Spatulas
I bought my first set maybe 12 years ago and loved them 2 much that I bought 2 more sets (one for the outside kitchen and another set for the inside). These things are a beast and the best I’ve ever used!
DI ORO Heat-Resistant Spatula Set
These are incredible! They are safe up to 600F, dishwasher safe, and BPA free! And they have a forever warranty. As I said, my first set I’ve had for 12 years and it still looks brand new – even with it being used commercially!
