These are the best kitchen and cooking products of 2025

A solid food processor can save you a lot of time in the kitchen, and the KitchenAid 13-cup model does just that. After testing some of the best options out there, this one stood out for being both powerful and easy to use. It handled everything we threw at it, from evenly chopping onions to grinding almonds into a fine powder. It also made smooth, creamy pesto and hummus without a hitch. Cleanup is easy, and the two speed settings give you a little more control depending on what you're making.

Stand mixers are the ultimate baking tool. You’re probably thinking of the KitchenAid mixer, a machine that’s owned the market for generations. However, we tested the sleek and intuitive GE Profile Smart stand mixer, and honestly, it outperforms the KitchenAid. Not only does it excel at mixing and whipping, but it also boasts smart features that streamline the baking process.

The integrated scale means no separate weighing is required. The connected app has its own guided recipes and works with the auto-sense function to detect changes in viscosity and stop the machine when, for instance, egg whites have been successfully whipped into meringue.

The Moccamaster might look like a retro showpiece, but it consistently delivers some of the best drip coffee we’ve tasted. It brews a full pot in under six minutes, maintains a steady temperature to avoid burning your brew, and features a smart auto-stop so you can sneak a cup mid-cycle. While it lacks high-tech features and requires a bit of setup, its speed, design, and flavor make it worth the effort and the counter space.

The Breville Bambino punches well above its weight. It’s fast, with a three-second start-up time, and consistently pulls delicious espresso shots without the bulk or fuss of a full-size machine. Its slim design makes it a great fit for smaller kitchens, and while the steam wand is manual, it gets the job done once you get the hang of it. Some parts are plastic and the wand isn't the strongest feature, but it nails the basics like temperature and pressure. If you’re looking for an easy way to make great espresso at home without overcomplicating things, the Bambino delivers.

Even after testing the latest ice cream makers to enter the market, the Creami remains at the top of our list because it’s easy to use and delivers reliably delicious homemade frozen treats.

Whether you’re using regular milk or dairy alternatives, the Creami can churn it into a creamy dessert, smoothie bowl, or milkshake.

Stainless steel and ceramic cookware are good for a lot of things, but when it’s time to fry an egg, non-stick is the way to go, and the All-Clad HA1 set is our favorite. During testing, eggs slid around the pan effortlessly, even without oil. The saucepan lids trapped steam so well that it cooked some of the best rice in the group, and the skillets pulled off crispy chicken skin, a rare win for nonstick. The pans are a little bulky and don’t nest easily, but the performance, durability, and ease of use more than make up for it.

GreenPan was the first brand to bring ceramic nonstick cookware to the market, and that kind of head start shows in the design. From the materials to the feel of the handles, it’s clear a lot of thought went into making these pans both easy to use and safe to cook with. The ceramic coating gives you a slick surface without relying on traditional nonstick chemicals, which makes it a good pick if you’re trying to use less oil or just want an easier cleanup. Whether you're simmering, searing, or scrambling, this line balances performance with practicality, and that makes it stand out.

From the company that also makes our favorite aprons comes a chef's knife that earned its spot at the top of our list of the best chef’s knives. Hedley & Bennett collaborated with many professional chefs to create this well-balanced and sturdy, lightweight knife.

The blade dimensions make it easy to use for a range of tasks, and we find that it can be used for an extended time without tiring the wrist. It’s also beautiful, with five different handle colors and gold rivets.

Investing in a knife set can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options out there and price tags that climb quickly. That’s why we take on the hard part, testing popular brands to see which ones really deliver on sharpness, comfort, and durability. The Misen Essentials 7-piece Knife Set came out on top across the (cutting) board. It includes all the core pieces you’ll actually use, with no filler tools taking up space. Each knife feels solid and well-balanced, with ergonomic handles that make prep work more comfortable. Whether you're just getting started in the kitchen or upgrading from an old set, this one’s a smart pick.

If you’re looking for a dependable air fryer-toaster oven combo, the Cuisinart Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven is hard to beat. It handled everything we tested with ease, from evenly toasted bread to crispy, batter-coated chicken.
