Air Bake Pans
These air bake pans are my secret to the perfectly baked cookie. I have shared my chemist secrets to the perfect cookie, but these really perfect it!
Non Stick Pans
Another chemist approved kitchen item is a non stick pan! Some people don’t like to use non stick surfaces, but honestly, the technology on this has been improved to perfection over the years. They are very safe to use and they make life way easier in the kitchen!
I live with this Rachel Ray set I got a few years ago!
Cookie Scoops
Another way to make life so easy is cookie scoops! I also talked a little about this in my secrets to the perfect cookie, but it really is the key to baking a cookie. Plus, it is so cheap! I have used this one for about eight years now, and love the size.
Another thing that makes life easier is my vintage ice cream scoop that I use for cupcakes! This is a similar one, but it makes cupcakes turn out perfect.
Donut Pan
Obviously, I love donuts! Since I love baking healthy treats, a donut pan is a must have around the kitchen! It is how I make these GF vanilla glazed donuts, these blueberry muffins donuts, and my all time favorite strawberry ones.
I bought this one three years ago and have used it countless times! It saves time, money, and calories 🙂
Ice cream maker
Another necessity in my kitchen is this ice cream maker! I have had for a few years now and I use it weekly in the summer! It is the perfect way to make healthy treats like this peanut butter froyo or my absolute favorite double chocolate frozen yogurt!
I am working on a new summer frozen recipe right now to share with you soon with this ice cream maker!
Spiralizer
I have had one of these for years, even before it was popular. I thought about getting one of those big ones I see online all the time. I decided to stick with this one because it takes up very little space and works great! I use it for all types of veggie noodles and just soak it in hot soapy water after use.
NutriBullet
I love this thing! You probably see all my smoothie recipes on instagram and this is what I use for all of them!
This is what I also use for all my coffee drinks like this frozen cold brew or caramel coffee! This month’s newsletter I shared my powerful, energizing green tea lemonade with whole lemon peel and I this NutriBullet does a great job of blending up that too!
[Tweet “Nifty kitchen items that make life easier! @chemistrycachet”]
These items are a definitely a must have for anyone who loves to bake or make healthy treats at home! Anything that makes my life easier or better, I am ALL about it! Especially when it is affordable too.
Most of these I have been using for at least eight years, like the cookie scoop and baking pans. When I first started experimenting around in the kitchen, I never knew baking a cookie could be so easy! I was forever trying to keep the bottoms from burning! If you don’t have any, I would totally recommend getting some of those over anything else!
Do you use any of these items? What are some of your favorite kitchen items?

Kate @ Green Fashionista says
I can’t tell you how excited I am that I finally picked up a donut pan last year, so much better to bake them instead of frying! And I love my cookie scoops, they’re so useful for so many different recipes <3

Cool kitchen tools make things easier and more fun! I’ve been eying the spiralizer but not sure if hubby would eat veggie “noodles”. The Bullet blender is a great idea instead of hauling out the big blender each time. Would an immersion blender work in lieu of – but prob not for ice? Drooling over a donut pan…. can you imagine making donut shaped dog treats?! I think it wouldn’t matter to the pups, though – it’s a treat in any form! (Knowing me, I’d get the dog treat mixed up with the human treat, lol)
Alexis says
My hubby still hasn’t gotten into the veggie noodle thing…but I sure love it 🙂 I love having that easy blender to whip out everyday. That is a great idea!!! I need to make Ruger some donut shaped dog treats ASAP! He would love that lol

I love my cookie scoops. The spiralizer is the newest gadget I see all around and my girlfriend loves it. She makes amazing recipes from it. What we do without these modern day things to help us in the kitchen!
Alexis says

Stacey says
One of these days I’m going to get an ice cream scoop like that. I see people use them for everything. At our house we love our Kitchen Aid mixer…it’s a little expensive but a workhorse!
So glad you joined Thoughts of Home on Thursday. We love having you. 🙂
