As a food blogger, we get a lot of questions regarding what we use to cook with in the kitchen. Honestly, we keep it simple. We're a big believer in good mixing bowls, sharp knives, sturdy cutting boards and non-stick skillets. From there it’s just a matter of diving in!

So, below are 25 memorable kitchen gifts that we use on a regular basis. We thought this would a great place to continue to refer back to because we can’t live without some of these products. These are great for the home cook, but also for the chef who thinks he/she has everything! Take a peek and get slicing!

1.) Up your charcuterie game with these fancy AF Agate Cheese Boards.

2.) we are obsessed with this Smeg Toaster. Besides the different color options, it has six browning options, a defroster and the dividers are extra large. Feeling toasty?

3.) Onion goggles. Our most treasured kitchen item.

4.) Modern Comfort Cooking Cookbook because we'll toot our own horn and say this is definitely a must!

5.) These are the only knives we use! Global Knives have a smaller handle which are great for women! They are extremely light and cut like butter.

6.) our aunt gave us this All-Clad Three Piece Fry Set as a wedding gift. We use these bad boys everyday!

7.) We’ve had our Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer for over a decade now. It’s the workhorse in our kitchen and we would probably fall a part if this wasn’t at our side!

8.) True story. This Boos Cutting Board was the first Christmas present we ever gave to Mr. B. Now that we've taken over the kitchen we chop everything on the flawless cutting board.

9.) Avocado huggers. Save the other half of your avocado for later with these huggers.

10.) If you’re going to cook you’ve got to be clean. Meyer Lemon Hand Soaps will keep you on top of your germ game.

11.) Air Fryer. Jump on the bandwagon.

12.) Never understand the power of a Microplane. Grate garlic, lemon zest, fresh nutmeg, etc. It will become your right hand.

13.) Have a sense of humor while cooking in the kitchen with these funny Oven Mitts!

14.) we use our All-Clad Slow Cooker every day. For reals. It cooks everything beautifully but what we love about this particular brand is after it’s done cooking it switches automatically to a warm setting!!

15.) Tabasco Family Reserve. This is not your ordinary hot sauce. Aged for over eight years and is a favorite sauce for any palate!

16.) Everyone loves Le Creuset. Not I. Staub Dutch Oven is where it’s at and will blow your mind!

17.) Silpat Baking Mats. Scouts honor: nothing will ever stick to your baking sheets again with these mats.

18.) Would you believe us if we told you had two Mini Food Processors? They are much more versatile than the big food processors. Simple to store, handle and chops like a dream.

19.) Glass Juicer. Love the vintage feel and the pourable bottom!

20.) Staub Fry Pan will change your cooking game. We have one and use it for pasta bakes, pizza, roasting chicken, etc.

21.) Culinary Torch. Flames are must when you need to add a little somethin’, somethin’ to your steak, dessert or fruit!

22.) Up your herb game with this sexy Mortar and Pestle. We've had ours for a few years and don’t know what we would do without it.

23.) You can’t put a price on good mixing bowls. We have a stack of these Kitchen Aid Mixing Bowls and they make prepping food a breeze!

24.) Trio Lasagna Pan. Why the EFF not?
