Best Bakeware for the Well-Equipped Kitchen

I love my KitchenAid stand mixer. It's such a workhorse. It's powerful and does such a beautiful job at mixing. There is also a slightly smaller 4.5 Qt. Ultra Power Stand Mixer. There are so many colors to choose from! 

This hand mixer is perfect for smaller jobs. I have had it for several years and it's a high quality hand mixer. Plus, there are so many beautiful colors to choose from!

These silicone bowl covers are great for when you have left over batter, or for when you make your batter ahead of time and need to keep it covered. These fit the 5 qt. bowls.

I have a set of these and use them almost daily! They are perfect for scraping things out of cans. I also use mine to hand mix sauces, like my Sriracha Mayo. They are cuties and they are a must-have.

This edge beater blade is a fantastic addition to your tilt head stand mixer. It scrapes the sides of the bowl as it mixes. Love it!

I have a couple of these spatulas and they are by far the best ones I've used. They clean the bowl spotless! Highly recommend these.

If you love to bake you need a great cake pan! Fat Daddio pans are great! They come in different sizes. My only complaint is they are not dishwasher safe. Other than that, I absolutely love them. 

I have so many sheet pans!! I use them for so much. We bake cookies on them, chicken, sheet cake, croissants, and the list goes on! I also have some sheet pans with a non-stick grid on them and I love them for cooking chicken. I also use the racks for cooling cookies. 

These prep bowls from Le Creuset are so great. I love measuring out all my ingredients before starting to bake. These are perfect for that. Keep in mind these are not mixing bowls, they are small prep bowls. 

These little ramekins are great for baking desserts such as creme brûlée and flan. They are also perfect for serving sauces and salsas. I also use mine to serve the au jus when we make my Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches. 

Everyone needs a great bundt pan and this one literally takes the cake! See what I did there? These Nordic Ware pans are awesome and my bundt cakes always come out beautiful!

I've had this Rachel Ray baking pan for years and it's my favorite for making cakes, blondies, and my delicious brownies. They always bake perfectly and evenly in this pan. I love it. 

These are some great mixing bowls. They are from OXO, which never disappoints. They are slip proof and come 3 to a set (1.5, 3, and 5 Qt). There are 3 color choices. Definitely a must-have for your kitchen.

I absolutely love my OXO clear containers. I keep everything in them. Sugar, flour, pasta, beans, rice, you name it! They keep everything fresh and I love that I can see exactly how much I have left of an item. Check out how my pantry looks with them!

These stainless steel measuring cups are beautiful and functional. They nest nicely for storing and are easy to handle. You'll also need a good set of glass measuring cups for measuring liquids. 

I am in love with these measuring spoons. They are magnetic and stackable. They are double sided with one side fitting into most spice jars. They contain any measurement you'll need and they come with a leveler. LOVE them!

If you're looking for a great kitchen scale that doesn't break the bank, this is it right here. It works beautifully and it comes in several fun colors. Or you can go with classic silver. 

I have one of these and love it. It's wonderful for baking things like cookies and macaroons! It's super easy to clean, which makes it a winner in my book. 

I love my icing spatula and if you like to frost cakes it will make your life easier. I'm not very good at frosting, but this spatula makes it easier to at least make my cakes look presentable! I also use it to spread out batter before baking.

A good whisk is essential in any kitchen. This OXO whisk is such good quality and it gets the job done. Perfect for whisking eggs, icing, batter and more!

If you bake a lot of cakes and decorate them, then this revolving cake stand is a must-have. It makes icing cakes a breeze. It comes with all the accessories you need to frost a cake perfectly. 

If you're tired of the mess when you sift flour with a mesh strainer, then you need one of these in your life. It definitely makes sifting flour easier and much faster. 

This multipurpose tool is awesome. It chops, it scrapes, it cuts dough, and more. I love that it's dishwasher safe! 

This pie server and cake cutter is great! Cuts a perfect piece of cake or pie and does double duty as a spatula. Only one thing to clean! Love it!
