Philips Pasta Maker
I have the Philips Pasta Maker and did a video and review on it, but you can get the manual kinds as well. I’d recommend making sure to get ones that are stainless steel if you go the manual route. I have to say however, I love my Philips and it is quick and easy to use, and easy to clean as well.
Bread Machines
These are huge time savers. We all love homemade bread but who has time to do all the work? With a bread maker machine all you do is pour in the ingredients and the machine handles everything from there! They range from under $100 to much higher depending on quality and various features.
Stovetop Espresso Maker
For high end ones that last forever, check out the Alessi 9090 review I wrote here. Please do not get the aluminum ones. They are cheap and won’t last. They pit and will have to be replaced. There are various stainless steel ones, Alessi being a major top of the line one that has been around for decades. But there are other more budget-friendly ones out there too. Check them out – here’s a Cuisinox:
Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl Set
Stainless steel bowls are very lightweight and easy to clean. We have a set, and just purchased some new ones that have silicone bottoms so they don’t slide on the counter – we love them! These are great for anyone who does any cooking!
