This versatile machine features 10 speed settings, a tilting head, a removable pouring shield and three different mixing tools, including a whisk, a paddle and a dough hook.

KitchenAid 6-Blade Spiralizer Attachment

Once you’ve gotten your KitchenAid mixer, it’s time to outfit it with one of the myriad attachments that are available, from pasta rollers to food shredders to sifter-slash-scale combo tools. One attachment that we’re especially excited about is this spiralizer, which can turn practically any vegetable into nutrient-packed “noodles.” Made of stainless steel, this spiralizer includes a corer and multiple slicing blades that can shave your veggie of choice into various shapes, ranging from thin, spaghetti-like strands to flat, pappardelle-esque ribbons. If your New Year’s resolution includes incorporating more vegetables into your daily diet, this spiralizer is a great thing to have on hand.

After the whirlwind of holiday cooking that’s taken place over the past couple of months, it’s safe to say that your knives have gone through it. So, consider giving your cutlery collection a boost with this Western-style Shun chef’s knife, available at a $60 discount. Boasting a razor-sharp 8-inch stainless steel blade with a hammered finish, this knife is ideal for slicing through hardy winter veggies like butternut squash and heads of cabbage.

Since it’s officially winter, it’s time to lean into recipes that will warm you from head to toe. Thanks to Staub’s “Everything Braiser”—which is a whopping $130 off right now—you can whip up the coziest stews and slow-cooked meats and veggies. It’s made of enameled cast iron, and it’s available in 11 colors, from a vibrant cherry red to a muted sage green.

“New year, new me” also applies to your cookware—and if you’re looking to treat yourself to an all-new cookware set, you can score this 13-piecer from All-Clad for $600. (That’s literally $300 off the original price of $900.) Constructed of hard-anodized aluminum with a three-layer nonstick coating, this durable set allows your foods to glide from pan to plate with ease. Included in the set are three skillets, two saucepans, a sauté pan, a soup pot and a stockpot, and everything comes with lids except for the skillets. The pans are also induction-friendly, and they can withstand temperatures of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (although we’ll note that the lids are only safe up to 300 degrees). 

Le Creuset Toughened Nonstick PRO Fry Pan

If you already have a cookware set you love and are more interested in sprucing up your collection with one truly durable product, this Nonstick PRO Fry Pan is a great investment. Another quality offering from Le Creuset, this pan is dishwasher safe and stands up to metal utensils—which, by the way, are a big no-no with most nonstick cookware. Similar to the aforementioned All-Clad set, this pan is also made of hard-anodized aluminum swathed in a triple-reinforced nonstick coating, and it’s oven-safe to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, as well. 

Le Creuset Classic Enameled Cast Iron Skillet Fry Pan, 9-Inch

If cast iron is more your thing, Le Creuset has a pan for that, too—in the form of this enameled cast iron skillet, which is $75 off right now. It features a not-too-big, not-too-small diameter of 9 inches, and it comes pre-seasoned, meaning you don’t have to spend an entire afternoon baking oil or grease into it before you can cook with it. This pan is also induction-compatible and oven-safe, and it comes in nine colors, including a bold red, nectar yellow and agave teal. And, while this may make some cast-iron aficionados gasp, you can actually put this pan into the dishwasher when you’re finished cooking.

Lodge Cast Iron 5-Piece Set

Lodge is another key player in the cast iron cookware game, and you can grab this sturdy, pre-seasoned 5-piece Lodge set for $20 off the original price. In this set, you’ll find two skillets, one 8-inch and one 10.25-inch, along with a 10.5-inch griddle and a 5-quart Dutch oven with a lid—all of which are compatible with induction cooktops. Whether you’re whipping up a batch of pancakes for breakfast or cooking a pot of stew over the campfire, you can do it all with this set.

Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender

Smoothies are another excellent way to up your intake of fruits and vegetables, and thanks to this Vitamix Professional Series blender, you can “smoothify” virtually any type of produce in seconds. Vitamix is well-known for its incredibly powerful blenders, and this one is no different, featuring a 2.2-peak-horsepower motor that pulverizes foods with ease and finesse. This blender includes a 64-ounce pitcher and preset modes for smoothies, soups, purees and frozen desserts. It also comes with a tamper, aka the swordlike plastic device that allows you to push foods down into the blender without risking your fingers.

Vitamix Immersion Blender

Don’t have the countertop space for a full-sized blender? That’s where this Vitamix immersion blender comes in handy. This handheld device allows you to blend foods right in their respective pots or containers, and it includes five speed settings ranging from a delicate stir to a powerful blend. There’s also a scratch-resistant blade guard that prevents your pots and pans from accumulating any dings during the blending process.

Holiday baking may have come to an end, but there are still plenty of potlucks, picnics and gatherings to be had in the new year. With this in mind, consider investing in this rectangular Le Creuset baking dish, which is $25 off the original price. Made of high-fired stoneware in a range of nine colors, this baker is designed for durability and even heating. The rectangle shape is perfect for brownies, casseroles, lasagnas and more, and the lid also doubles as a serving platter, adding even more versatility to this stylish baking dish. 

Anova Precision Cooker 3.0 with Wi-Fi

Sous vide cooking is kind of having a moment right now, and if you’re ready to take the plunge into this virtually foolproof cooking method, you’ll need a quality sous vide cooker. Enter the Anova Precision Cooker, which scored high marks from our test kitchen and is on sale for $55 off. This cooker features an adjustable sliding clamp that fits onto nearly any water bucket, container or pot.

This powerhouse of a machine features both Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, along with a downloadable app that allows you to monitor and control your cooking process remotely. 

Anova Precision Sous Vide Vacuum Sealer Pro

If you’re treating yourself to the Anova Precision Cooker, you may as well throw in a vacuum sealer to “seal” the deal (pun definitely intended). This Anova Vacuum Sealer Pro, also available at a hefty discount, is the perfect pairing to the Precision Cooker. It’s equipped with six different vacuum sealing modes—Moist, Dry, Seal, Vacuum & Seal, Pulse Vacuum and External Pulse Vacuum—plus an external hose that you can use to seal containers. You’ll also get an entire roll of vacuum bags with this machine, so there’s no need to make a whole trip to the store to grab some.

KitchenAid 7-Cup Food Processor

Another workhorse from the KitchenAid line, this food processor is crucial for numerous prepping tasks, from chopping to shredding to slicing. This machine features a 7-cup bowl and a leak-resistant lid, along with three speed settings and LED-illuminated buttons for optimal visibility. Additionally, the compact size of this processor means it won’t take up too much valuable countertop real estate. When you’re finished using it, simply whirl some warm water and a few drops of dish soap in the bowl for fuss-free cleanup.
