This egg cooker comes in handy, especially when you need breakfast on the table fast or want to make eggs for salad and stuff them for appetizers.
IMUSA USA Heavy Duty Cajun Oval Cast Aluminum Roaster 18", Silver
Buy Now → This roaster is the perfect size for cooking a roast, gumbo, or batch of Jambalaya. They are a good investment because they last a long time and can be passed down to the next generation. The proof is that they hold their value when you look for a used one. Very rare and pricey!
Large Magnalite Pot
Buy Now → This was a wedding present from my grandparents. I'll pass it down to my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, or until Jesus returns. My favorite recipe to cook in this pot is Chicken Gumbo With Sausage, Classic Cajun Recipe. It's very large and in charge!
My Prized Le Creuset Pot
Buy Now → The classic Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven, 7.25 qt., in this pretty hombre Sea Salt color is my go-to pot. I fry, stew, and cook just about anything in it. This is my dream pot! I've wanted one for years, and my children gave it to me for Christmas. It lives on my stove because it's beautiful, easy to access, and I use it all the time. Plus, it's a heavy dude!
Powerful NutriBullet Blender
Buy Now → With 1200 watts, this NutriBullet Blender crushes the ice in my protein shakes quickly and smoothly. It's easy to clean, and it sits plugged in and ready on my pantry shelf for easy access. This little powerhouse machine is priced right and comes with a 64-ounce pitcher and a smaller cup for blending single-serve smoothies and protein drinks. The cup includes a lid, so you can take it on the go.
USA Pan Bakeware Nonstick
Buy Now → This 8" square baking pan is made of American-made aluminumized steel that cooks evenly. It has a silicone coating that allows easy release and quick cleanup. This company makes pans in all sizes, and they are always a good buy. I like to give them to new brides because they last a long time and are dependable.
Perfect for baking bacon and wings!
Nordic Ware Oven Crisp Baking Tray
Buy Now →Amazingly, there are no splatters or spills like there are when cooking in a skillet on the stove with this pan. I like using this Nordic Ware Oven Crisp Baking Tray. It holds a 1-pound package of bacon, the heat circulates around the meat for even cooking, and cleanup is easy. I have used this rimmed baking sheet pan several times, and it still looks new.
Emile Henry 9" Pie Dish
Buy Now → Red, or rouge as the French say, is my favorite color in this durable, scratch-resistant Emile Henry Pie Dish made in France. It bakes evenly, cleans up easily, and goes from the freezer or refrigerator to the oven to the table. You don't need to fold and crimp the pie crust, the pan's ruffled edges do the job for me.
GoWISE USA Ming's Mark Electric Air Fryer
Buy Now → Where would I be without this Air Fryer? It is so handy for cooking meats and veggies and warming up leftovers. It refreshes leftovers, such as fries and onion rings, back into hot, crispy treats. Amazing!
Oster Electric Roaster
Buy Now → This is the perfect electric roaster, especially for cooking a turkey. It works like an oven, freeing up space in your oven while you make a feast. When I cook a turkey, I brine it overnight, then put it in the preheated roaster the next day. I don't have to do anything but maybe a bit of basting until it's cooked. This roaster feeds a crowd thanks to its warm setting and extra-large, easy-to-clean inner pot.
Instant Pot
The Instant Pot is the safe, modern-day pressure cooker. No need to fear the pot blowing up and splattering food all over the kitchen here! It seals and doesn't release the lid until the pressure lowers after cooking. High pressure and temperature cook foods faster, resulting in more intense flavor and tenderness. It also has a slow-cook mode, so I can get meals on the table and focus on other things while my food cooks. Click here for Instant Pot Recipes on the blog.
Buy Now → The Immersion Blender is Mississippi Man's - my husband's - kitchen gadget for making chocolate shakes. Since he bought one himself, I have discovered it makes homemade mayonnaise, whipped cream, and blended soups quickly and easily.
Aroma Rice Cooker
Buy Now → Oh, this Rice Cooker is a must-have in my kitchen! Rice is often served at my table because I like it, as most Cajuns do, and my family does too. The electric cooker makes rice perfectly every time. All you do is measure the rice with the included plastic cup and fill the pot with water to the pre-measured line inside. Then season the rice with salt (I always add a little oil and vinegar), press the start button, and that's it. Perfect rice every time. Hint: After it's cooked, add a couple of ice cubes to the pot to keep the rice's surface from drying out while the pot keeps it warm before serving. I always make extra to store in the freezer.
KitchenAid Stand Mixer
Buy Now → My KitchenAid Stand Mixer is over 25 years old and still going strong! I use it often. It's a workhorse, comes in many colors, and comes with or without extra attachments. Spending a little more on this kitchen appliance is a wise investment. I suggest getting the model with the plastic collar to help keep ingredients in the bowl.
Kitchen-Aid 3.5-cup food chopper
Buy Now →This small appliance is a powerful Food Chopper. It's better than a full-size food processor because it chops smaller amounts of food more effectively. I use it often for things like chopping the Cajun trinity and making sauces.
Deep Fryer
T-Fal Ultimate EZ Clean Deep Fryer
Buy Now →This Deep Fryer strains and stores the used oil after frying. The lid has a glass window, the thermostat maintains a consistent heat level, and the basket cooks large batches. The appliance's parts come apart for easy cleaning.
Mandolin Slicer
Buy Now → Slicing has never been easier with this Mandolin. We use it to make homemade crispy potato chips. But beware, it's very dangerous if you don't use the guard. So use it religiously. Take it from me, you can quickly get too close to the blade.
Vegetable Chopper
Slicer Vegetable Chopper with Container
Buy Now →This super-sharp manual vegetable chopper has a bottom drawer to catch the sliced food. It is easy to clean and keeps all components stored together. Depending on the vegetable you are chopping, it may take a little muscle to press it into the blade. It grates, cuts, and shreds, making perfect matchstick potatoes for frying. The blades are so sharp, you don't dare let your flesh get in the way. It has a mandoline blade and other options.
Shrimp Peeling Tool
Buy Now → This Shrimp Tool is a time saver! With one swoop, you can remove the shell and the black vein when peeling shrimp. I keep more than one in my kitchen drawer.
Knife Set
ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Gourmet Knife Set
