Well, I used to work with these tools as a professional baker, so I know a thing or two about quality. If you could use some new gear and you're willing to trust me (I hope so!), these are, in my opinion, the best kitchen deals of the moment. From a $149 Ninja Creami for whipping up homemade frozen treats to a $26 Henckels knife duo, here's what I'm eyeing.

With this No. 1 bestselling knife sharpener, you'll never have a dull moment in the kitchen again. Equipped with three slots for sharpening, repairing, straightening and polishing, it'll take your old blades from obsolete to like-new in just a few swipes. Plus, it comes with a handy cut-resistant glove to spare you from painful nicks.

"This is an incredible tool," raved a happy home cook. "Five-year-old expensive knives that I knew were dull feel like new — I didn’t realize how bad they were until I cut an onion right after sharpening them with this tool. Amazing."

'Tis the season for enjoying tasty frozen treats, and this wildly popular appliance will satiate your sweet tooth in between trips to the ice cream truck. It churns out everything from ice cream and sorbet to milkshakes and more — just add your ingredients, freeze overnight, press a button and ta-da! Plus, you'll be able to customize your creation with your favorite mix-ins. This is just about as low as I've seen it on sale for.

"I am dairy-free, and finding a delicious dairy-free ice cream has been extremely difficult for me," explained a (now) satisfied scooper. "Now I'm able to make my favorite flavors at home dairy-free! It's super easy to use [and] cleans easily ... my only complaint is it sounds like an airplane, it's so loud."

Le Creuset who? I cook with Lodge Dutch ovens at home, and this one is just the right size for a smaller household. The slick enameled interior cleans like a dream, while the sturdy cast iron offers excellent heat distribution and retention. Plus, it's so pretty you won't mind leaving it on the stove for everyone to admire. 

"Don't tell my KitchenAid mixer, but I think I love this more," joked a reviewer. "I'm Greek and cook a lot. I've used this for everything from pasta dishes like manestra to frying keftedes (meatballs) — [I've] even used [it] to bake bread! It's a great item for one-pot meals. While it gets plenty hot because it's cast iron, the enamel makes deglazing and cleaning a breeze. I use mostly silicone and wooden tools, but even with metal utensils, I haven't had any chips. ... Lodge is a great brand for those of us who can't quite afford Le Creuset."

This No. 1 bestselling fridge lazy Susan was designed to maximize space (while minimizing food waste). It's rectangular to make the best use of your fridge shelves, and it rotates 360 degrees so you can easily see — and remember — everything you have before it spoils. 

"Gone are the days of old sauces, jars and containers getting stuck in the back of the fridge to turn into a forgotten fuzzy science experiment," shared an impressed shopper. "This amazing turntable makes everything on the tray really easy to grab and find, we are a lot less wasteful because we have access to it all on the turntable. We love it!"

Yes, this top-seller might technically be called a meat thermometer, but don't underestimate its value when it comes to liquids and baked goods. The most accurate way to tell whether food is done cooking is by taking its temperature, and this gizmo presents a reading in seconds.

"You remember sticking a fork/toothpick in a pan of brownies to see if they are finished yet? Think of this as a more advanced fork!" wrote a home cook. "I've found the readings to be very accurate for cooking quiche, baking cakes, as well as cooking steak and chicken. This is a good tool to have in the kitchen for food safety, as well as making better food, since you'll be less likely to overcook when ensuring food safety temperatures are met. Recommended temperatures are printed on the back as well for quick reference."

Not only does this Keurig make brewing hot coffee a cinch, it also has an iced function that'll really come in handy this season. You'll be able to make up to eight cups before needing to refill the 75-ounce water reservoir, and the removable drip tray allows you to fit a 7.2-inch travel mug. Elite, indeed!

"Easy setup out of the box and very simple to use," shared a five-star fan. "Absolutely love the larger volume in the water tank! Before, I seemed to have to fill my old Keurig much more frequently. My wife loves the iced coffee function, and I have to agree with her; somehow it manages to make smooth coffee without melting any ice. The snap-in filters are easy to use and change out."

These No. 1 bestsellers are heat-resistant up to 500°F, thanks to their silicone coatings — and not only that, their ribbed design offers better grip than cloth mitts, plus they're water-resistant to protect your hands from hot splatters. They come in over 20 colors, though prices vary. 

"These oven mitts are a game-changer in my kitchen," declared a shopper. "The ribbed silicone design provides a secure grip on hot pots and pans, giving me confidence when handling them. The soft inner lining is comfortable to wear and provides excellent heat protection. I appreciate that they are flexible and allow for easy movement of my hands, unlike some other oven mitts that can feel stiff and bulky. Plus, the set comes with two mitts, so I always have a backup when one is in the wash."

It's time to chuck all of your mismatched food storage containers and replace them with this heavily marked-down set. It comes with 12 round and rectangular containers, which are clear so you can easily see their contents. Since they're made of borosilicate glass, the containers are dishwasher-, oven- and microwave-safe (just not the lids), and their airtight silicone seals help prevent leaks.

"Absolutely love how versatile these containers are," gushed a buyer. "The glass is sturdy and [the] lids are easy to clean and do not stain. Both containers and lids did well in my top rack dishwasher without any warping. I put soup in the container and flipped it upside down on my counter just to test if it would leak, and not one drop escaped through the seal."

Multi-use appliances are a godsend for small kitchens, and this double-duty machine is no exception. It's roomy enough to fit six slices of bread, a 4-pound chicken or 12-inch pizza and can also be used for baking cakes and brownies. The sleek stainless steel design is just a bonus.

"Instead of heating up the oven, we can easily make dinner or lunch by using this," wrote a reviewer. "Makes great fried chicken and crunchy vegetables ... Great for warming up pizza versus the microwave, as it isn't mushy (same with French fries!)."

Every home cook needs a good knife or two, and this affordable set will have you slicing and dicing with ease. Made by Henckels, a brand with over 100 years of knife-crafting experience, this duo includes 5.5-inch and 7-inch santoku knives. Their shorter, fine-edged blades are suitable for precision chopping and thinly slicing while their lightweight construction makes for effortless movement. 

"Bought these to replace some of my older knives," shared a content customer. "They work great and come sharp out of the box. I like the two sizes and they both fit in my hand well. Easy to grip and control while cutting."
