This list of kitchen essentials features my favorite and most used kitchen tools and equipment. These are items I recommend as "must-haves" for your kitchen. Perfect for your own kitchen or for gifting to the foodies in your life!
A high-powered blender is a must for vegan cooking...especially for making sauces like this vegan cheese sauce. My favorite is this Nutri Ninja which also comes with cups for taking drinks like this strawberry-banana peanut butter smoothie on-the-go!
This KitchenAid food processor is perfect for making dips like this white bean avocado hummus or pureeing tofu like in this vegan broccoli quiche.
This KitchenAid food chopper works great for smaller chopping jobs like making this vegan Parmesan.
This BREVO electric kettle makes boiling water a breeze! I love using it to boil water to soak nuts and seeds like in this cashew ricotta.
This EZ tofu press has proven to be one of the best presents I've ever received! No more wrapping tofu blocks in towels and stacking books or pots on them! It's a must for tofu lovers. Perfect for pressing tofu for this vegan breakfast sandwich or these baked tofu bites.
My Ninja air fryer has to be one of my favorite tools. It's great for making these air fryer home fries and mashed potato balls with less oil than would be needed for deep frying.
Using an Immersion blender like this Cuisinart Smart Stick is perfect for blending soups like this creamy white bean soup and making homemade vegan mayo.
This Aroma rice cooker is not only perfect for making rice, but it's great for steaming veggies as well as tempeh like in this easy marinated tempeh recipe.
I love using a Crockpot slow cooker to make my chickpea noodle soup and my favorite quinoa chili.
A kitchen scale is great when you need to weigh items such as potatoes for these vegan cream cheese mashed potatoes.
This lemon and lime squeezer is perfect for when you need freshly squeezed lemon juice or lime juice like in this easy guacamole.
I love using different sized scoops like this #40 disher which is great for scooping cookie dough for these 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies or this #60 disher which works well for these no-bake chocolate chip cookie dough bites.
