If you love juicing, we highly recommend the Omega Masticating Juicer or the Vitamix Blender. The KitchenAid Artisan Mixer is very versatile for baking, but also has attachments for juicing.

Every great chef should have a great set of knives. We love the Global 8-piece set, ranked as one of the best quality brands. The Kauai Bambook cutting board is solid for cutting any vegetables, cheese, meat or poultry.

For cooking, All-Clad makes some of the best cookware sets money can buy. The copper-core evenly distributes heat for best results. However, you should also invest in a meat thermometer, which will help you cook beef, poultry and fish to the perfect temperature every time.

Finally, if cooking time in the kitchen is not a luxury, the Instant Pot Smart Pressure Cooker is the perfect item for you. Set the program to slow cook rice and beef, or pressure cook an entire chicken in about 10 minutes. Did we mention you can control it entirely through your smart phone?
