Kyrié’s Cooking Staples

I own this pot/pan set from **Caraway** and it is too good. I love that the lids are flat for easy storage! On top of their current sale, use KYRIETHEFOODIE10 for 10% off.

This affordable **cutting board** is a staple in my kitchen and is also gorgeous. It doubles as a serving board because it’s so pretty!

Whether you want to gift a **Kitchen Aid stand mixer** or you’ve been eyeing it for yourself, they’re best purchased during the holiday season because they go on major sale!

**Nordic Ware baking sheets** are superior.

**STAUB Dutch ovens** will last you a lifetime (not an exaggeration). And they come in so many colors!

**Earlywood spatulas** are not only gorgeous in the kitchen, but take care of them well, and they may even outlive *you*! Love their minimalistic look.

**Oxenforge** creates stunning **woks**, and they have both round- and flat-bottomed woks depending on if you have a gas or electric stove.

Although I love my Caraway pots/pans, I also love **Our Place’s pan** because they are incredibly lightweight.

Tiger Rice Cooker — This is my beloved **rice cooker** I use almost every single day. It can make so many types of meals!

My **knife block from Zwilling** is affordable and makes for great everyday knives.

**Air fryers** are magical. You need one.

I was gifted this **Magic Bullet blender** at my wedding, and even though it wasn’t on my registry, I now use it everyday. You can remove the cup and bring it with you on the go to work, school, etc.

This **toaster oven** from BALMUDA has a *steaming* feature. That’s all you need to know.

One of my favorite parts about this **Ninja blender** are the cups it comes with.

**Caraway** makes the most beautiful kitchenware, and their **nontoxic containers** are also so stunning! On top of their sale, code KYRIETHEFOODIE10 gets you 10% off.

Kyrie’s Cooking Nice-to-Haves

Jeff and I break out this **Gozney pizza oven** frequently for guests, and it’s so fun for entertaining. Nothing beats homemade pizza!

This **pan** is specifically for making tamagoyaki, a Japanese rolled omelette. Gift this to your Japanese food lover.

We recently got this **freeze dryer** for preserving Jeff’s garden harvest, and it’s been so fun. The possibilities are endless!

Love using my **food dehydrator** to make all sorts of foods: sun-dried tomatoes, apple chips, fruit leather, vegetable chips, granola, etc.

**Homemade soda** but healthier?! Say less. So fun especially when you’re hosting!

For the **ice cream** lover in your life. It’s ridiculously easy and customizing flavors is so fun!

I use this **fermentation crock** to make homemade kimchi, hot sauce, pickles, and more.

**Portable stoves** are so convenient for on-the-go cooking (especially for camping!), but I mainly use it for hot pot nights (or other communal dinners.

A **donabe** is a traditional Japanese clay pot used for cooking hot pot dishes, stews, and rice. They have been used in Japan for hundreds of years, prized for their ability to retain and evenly distribute heat. This one is stunning; I reserve it for special occasions.

I recently got this **knife** and it is a hefty beast. So sharp!

Jeff and I use our **Reencle Indoor Composter** all the time. Helps us reduce food waste, and all the compost goes right back into our garden!

**Baking Steels** are a great alternative for those that want homemade pizzas without the hassle of pizza oven setup (especially if you don’t have the space). Just stick this in your oven, bake for 6-8 minutes, and you have restaurant quality pizza just like that!
Code KYRIETHEFOODIE for additional 10% off.

Taiyaki, a **Japanese fish-shaped waffle**, is a fun dessert to make and customize! You can fill it with Nutella, custard, sweet potato, red bean paste, etc.

Truth be told, it took me a long time to hop on the **Ninja Creami** train… but it’s so worth it! Healthy ice cream for the win.
