I'm at a loss this year. I usually buy my kids and step kids some cool, useful gadget for a couple of hundred bucks (they all got good vacuum sealers last year), then give them some cash. What neat stuff is out there this year?

Amazon has a Vitamix blender on sale for $189. This would be a great buy.

I use my Le Creuset Dutch oven more than anything else in my kitchen, at least three times a week. As far as gadgets go, the toaster oven style air fryer is really versatile and especially gets a lot of use in the summer when I want to avoid using the oven. Same with the instant pot.

Amazon Echo show. It's not a couple hundred dollars but it's useful in the kitchen when you're working: for watching shows, reading recipes, listening to music, seeing who's at the door (ring doorbell).

Because the fridge ice makers are usually broken within the first couple of years of a new refrigerator now.

Yep, also, at least for me…I like my iced tea and my rum/coke glasses filled to the top with ice.

A second ice maker prevents my family/guests from being impacted by my prodigious ice consumption.

I bought a Ninja Creami recently and have had lots of fun with it.

It allows you to experiment with things that sound good in the form of a sorbet, ice cream, gelato, etc.

I had to pay extra for that at the Asian massage place.

what makes you think that counter top ice maker is going to last any longer?

We bought a new fridge in our new house 10 years ago, ice maker still works fine.

However, the dishwasher and washing machine both crapped out within 6-7 years.

I love having my Echo Dot in the kitchen, for timers and to add things to the OurGroceries app right when I'm thinking about it, or to remind me to do stuff.

Your kids probably already have them, though.

Things I use often:

Digital instant read thermometer
Programmable digital thermometer for meats in oven, grill, etc. like this: https://altonbrown.com/altons-favorite-things/thermoworks-square-dot-kit/
Digital scale
Immersion blender
Good chef's knife
Cast iron skillet
Electric kettle
Aeropress

Avoid anything that only has a single use, like the cherry pitter my mom gave me a few years ago.

Sous vide machines are the new hotness, but make sure you check out the equipment reviews before you buy one:


America's Test Kitchen will have reviews on a lot of kitchen stuff, and you can trust their recommendations.
