The Nifty Kitchen Accessories That Will Change the Way You Cook
There are plenty of kitchen accessories you need, like can openers, but there are many kitchen accessories that you didn’t know you needed, like cheese stones. These items might be luxurious, but they’re functional, too. Whether you’re going down the checklist of essentials with our white-glove move-in service or just sprucing up your kitchen decor, these are the items that need to be moved from the want list, to the have to have list.
French Marble Fruit Bowl
When you return to your gorgeous kitchen after a visit to the market, armed with bags of seasonal produce and fresh fruit, you will realize the very deep need you have for this item. Your fruit deserves better than the crisper bin in your fridge. It deserves this fruit bowl from the Crate & Barrel Exclusive Marble Collection.
Cube Spice Rack
We’ve all heard of spice racks and spice carousels, but what about spice drawers? These efficient and stylish spice cubes were designed by Martha Stewart. Enjoy the bamboo rack, the sleek glass jars, and the simplicity of an uncluttered countertop.
Cabo Woven Placemats
Add a splash of color to your dining table with these gorgeous woven placemats. Made with dried banana leaf and accents of colorful cotton, these functional accessories have just the right amount of detail. Up the style ante with your next dinner party, or just dress up a casual night in.
Cheese Stones
Serena & Lily’s stunning stoneware creations are more functional than the phrase “cheese stone” suggests. Real foodies will find this to be an essential tool, great for keeping cheese cool (by freezing beforehand) or melting gooey cheese (by heating it in the oven). We guarantee you will never want to eat brie from a cheese board again.
Copper + Black Marble Cheese Knives
If you have a cheese stone, you’ll obviously need to invest in marble cheese knives. These beauties from West Elm are crafted specifically for slicing, serving, and curating the perfect cheese experience. If one of your guests falls in love with this set, they make a great housewarming gift (with a bottle of wine).
Joule
This sleek accessory from Chef Steps might provoke intimidation (What is sous vide cooking?) but the method is actually surprisingly simple. This sous vide tool is different than the rest because it syncs with your iPhone or Android and provides recipes, cooking tips, and more.
Circular Wall Flower Vase
This aesthetic from Japanese ceramist Keiichi Tanaka epitomizes the “kitchen accessory you didn’t know you needed." Reimagine your floral arrangement with this metallic-glazed vase. Keep it simple - or add a splash of drama.
Pineapple Glasses
Yes, you could probably just serve drinks in regular tumblers. But then what would dinner party guests talk about? If you’re throwing a Rooftop BBQ with the help of Life Simplified, these are an adorable addition to your seasonal feast. They’re the perfect opportunity to try out the Ginger-Pineapple Spritzers from Furthermore. Sip fresh pineapple from a pineapple glass, and enjoy the Related Life.
Pie’s the Limit Servers
Do these Anthropologie accessories serve the exact same function as normal pie servers do? Yes. Are they infinitely more stylish, adorable, and fun? Also yes. At the end of a delicious meal, pile extra-large slices of love onto your guests’ plates and remind them that if they dream big enough - the pie’s the limit. There is no sweeter way to end a lovely meal.
