Blend anywhere with the Cuisinart Cordless Compact Blender. Compact, cordless, convenient—and rechargeable—this handy gadget makes blending a breeze without being tethered to a power outlet. A heavy-duty four-prong cutting blade can crush ice, so blend a smoothie on the go or even at a campsite! Great for all quick home-blending needs, too. Features a 16-ounce, BPA-free to-go cup with a travel lid. Runs for 20 minutes on one charge of the lithium-ion battery.
Make Your Own Nut Milk
A fresh glass of almond milk can be as simple as nuts and water. The Nutr is a low-maintenance gadget that makes creamy plant-based milk in minutes, without messy nut bag squeezing. With three unique settings (hot, warm, no heat), it can be used to make soy, rice, almond, walnut, hemp, flaxseed, oat milk and more. Simply add your favorite ingredients and water and press the button. Easy to clean, too. Feel-good fact: Nutr partners with One Tree Planted, which plants trees around the world while enlisting amazing reforestation partners.
MultiTasking Machine
The Multo by CookingPal is changing the entire kitchen experience. This autonomous multi-tasker does the job of multiple appliances to streamline cooking. It consists of two parts: the Smart Kitchen Hub, a custom-made tablet, that suggests meals and provides step-by-step guides for a vast range of chef-tested recipes, while the Smart Kitchen Appliance handles a variety of tasks, including chopping, mixing, steaming and cooking, so you don’t have to lift a finger. It even does the one task many cooks dread: cleaning itself up once your meals are made. $899
Stir-Fry Master
Woks may hail from ancient China, but it’s no secret that they’re the best tool for whipping up your favorite Asian foods. And the Kuhn Rikon Essential Wok provides everything you need to do just that. Its flat bottom keeps it steady on your stovetop and allows for more-even heating, and its size is ideal for families. It’s made of carbon-steel (the material of choice in most Asian households), which means it’s durable and gets hot enough for authentic Asian-style cooking. $80
Clever Colander
The Chef’n 3 in 1 Prep Colander makes prepping and cleaning multiple ingredients easy. It features three modular colanders so you can soak, rinse and strain veggies, beans and grains—separately and all at the same time. Each colander stands upright for easy prep, and the main bowl can be used for storage or serving. It’s a handy gadget to keep things tidy and organized on the counter when you’re cooking. When you’re ready to clean up, all parts are dishwasher safe. $21.99
