It will come to no surprise to you that spending time in the kitchen is one of my favorite things to do. As you may remember, I vowed to return to making more homemade weeknight meals at home in the new year… and more time around the table has been glorious. I’ve recently become obsessed with a few new tools and gadgets, and I knew it was due time to share my top kitchen essentials from Williams-Sonoma with all of you! Truly, MKR
P.S. I hope by now you’ve entered Williams-Sonoma & Fortessa‘s amazing giveaway to spend time in my happy place (wine country), right? If not, there’s still time! Enter here through March 15. xo
No. One. Philips Air Fryer. You heard me talk about the air fryer last week, but I really cannot stop singing its praises. As a quick reminder in case you missed our chicken wing story, this super high tech, but ultra user friendly air fryer calls for little to no oil and still fries up all of your favorites perfectly. I’ve made wings, fish, potato chips, and next up onion rings!
No. Two. Any and all Schott Zwiesel stemware. In my book, Schott Zwiesel is the creme de la creme when it comes to my preferred wine carrying vessel. I’m particularly fond of these pretties.
No. Three. Fortessa flatware. While I love all of Fortessa’s gorgeous flatware, my heart belongs to the Lucca and Royal Pacific setting. The bamboo is classic and gold flatware, always adds just the right touch of “special occasion” to any meal.
No. Four. Mini Classic Croissants. Ever since being introduced to these via an Oprah’s favorite things, I’ve never not had them in my freezer. Buttery, rich, and bite size…there really are no words.
No. Five. KitchenAid Pro Mixer. Probably my most used kitchen item, and worth every penny. I do not bake, mix, or make anything without my KitchenAid Pro. And p.s. you’ll have it FOREVER.
No. Six. Silpat Mats. Scratch the above statement; Silpat mats are hands down my most used kitchen item. They keep your pans and cookie sheets perfectly clean, eliminate the use of a non-stick spray, and they even come in mini toaster oven and microwave size. I have six, that’s how serious I am about Silpat.
No. Seven. Fortessa’s Restaurant Collection. Clean lines and bright white allowing the food to be the star, Fortessa’s restaurant collection can transition from every day to formal dining.
No. Eight. Chili Lime Rub. This pick is on behalf of the Mr.; no joke he stock piles this rub. If he’s grilling then this is his secret meat weapon.
No. Nine. PL8 Professional Chopper. I was so impressed by this little guy, I snapchatted it the other day (one more reason to follow on Snapchat so you don’t miss out on all my favorite finds…username WAITINGONMARTHA). Anyway, the PL8 professional chopper chops up anything and deposits the perfectly cut pieces into a dish below. I made tacos the other night and was able to using the PL8 was able to chop up 2 onions, 3 jalapenos, 1 tomato, 1 green pepper, and numerous garlic cloves in less then 5 minutes!
No. Ten. Rubber Spatulas. It may not be flashy, but rubber spatulas are my go-to kitchen utensil, and Williams-Sonoma’s are of the highest quality, so you won’t need to constantly replace them.
Once I renovated my kitchen I did a big clean out and I spent a ton of money at WS investing in great essentials. The rubber spatulas are seriously the best! I need a few more!!
