Edge of Belgravia’s Precision 6 Piece Knife Set
Promising Review: “what?!!! i am in love! the knifes are so sturdy, pretty to look at and they ALL get the job done! I am a food connoisseur and everyone on my cooking show fell in love with them at first sight! they also fit so well into my knife roll bag!” — Bee
Editor’s Thoughts: Edge of Belgravia has managed to beautifully mesh the worlds of functionality and art, creating a knife set that is not only one of the sharpest out of the box I’ve used, but sits gorgeously as almost a modern art sculpture. This set includes a paring knife, 2 sizes of chef’s knives, bread knife, filleting knife, and a slicing knife, stored in a beautiful Black Diamond Knife Block.

2. The Stingray, By Edge of Belgravia
Just launched!
Editor’s Thoughts: This phenomenal new pan by Edge of Belgravia changes the game. It is a non-stick frying pan that is also PFOA-free. It's designed in a way that makes me say, I've never seen a pan so sexy. When you go further into the details, the Stingray boasts aircraft grade aluminum, which allows for even heat distribution while staying lightweight. It uses a newly developed Swiss ILAG non-stick coating that allows it to be more scratch resistant than other debatably-junky non-stick pans you see at the store. Would highly recommend.

3. JoyJolt’s Double-Insulated Tumbler
Promising Review: “Besides being a beautiful mug and doing a fabulous job of keeping coffee hot...it's fun to watch particular hot coffee drinks as different layers slowly drift downwards. My son-in-law is a coffee connessuier and his drink of choice is a Nespresso cappuccino, which he drinks from a traditional mug. He was recently visiting and and I served him his favorite in my Infinity double walled mug. He was fascinated "watching" the coffee and thought it was a beautiful sight. It added an extra dimension of enjoyment to a good cup of coffee. I have now started my Christmas shopping...he's getting a set of his own this year. I highly recommend these mugs!” — Robin B.
Editor’s Thoughts: I was super stoked to jump on the double-walled tumbler train. Not only do they look ridiculous suave, they are shatter-resistant and very easy to clean up. Even those 3-day-old forgotten coffee cleans up like nothing). They’re dishwasher-safe, a must in my home, and also comes with JoyJolt’s Limited 1 Year Manufactured Warranty.

4. Stove Shelf
Promising Review: “This is amazing and I have no idea I didn’t buy one of these years ago!!! My new stove wouldn’t get close enough to the wall to allow me to rest anything on top without it falling behind. This was absolutely PERFECT. I am very happy that the magnets provided were able to be moved. This allowed me to place them perfectly for maximum hold because my top was slightly curved.” — J. S.
Editor’s Thoughts: StoveShelf is such a unique yet simple concept that has moved mountains in my kitchen. This spice rack is magnetic, meaning no screws, no installation, just stack it on. Initially concerned that the StoveShelf wouldn’t work on my slightly curved top stove, StoveShelf’s durable construction magnetized to the stove perfectly, zero wobbles or tipsy balancing games.

5. The Aervana Original
Promising Review: “My granny loves her wine at night to help her sleep. She’s had a hard time lifting and pouring the bottles, until I found this gem. Absolutely worth every penny, the button is easy to push and it flows easily.” — Krystina H.
Editor’s Thoughts: Aervana is an electric wine aerator that lets you enjoy your wine, without the wait. We saw the difference most noticeably with reds, which softened the otherwise biting tannins, instantly. It did an amazing job of aerating the wine in a quick manner, and with it’s beautiful spout design, makes it the perfect gift for any wine connoisseur. Just be careful, as with all electronic devices, keep out of direct water contact!

6. FinaMill Electric Spice Grinder
Promising Review: “I have been wanting an electric salt and pepper shaker for a while but didn’t want to spend the money on it. Scrolling through Amazon I found Finamil and let me tell you this product is incredible! It is so easy to use and swap out the pods quickly. It grinds the spices efficiently and even has a little light!” — Sara W.
Editor’s Thoughts: FinaMill is one of the most innovative kitchen gadgets we've come across in 2020. This battery operated spice grinder uses quick-change interchangeable spice pods, that allows chefs to avoid cross-contamination of spices. The FinaMill grinds up spices very quick, meaning you won't waste any time in keeping your spices whole, and your flavors bolder. FinaMill is complete with a contemporary, countertop-worthy design, meaning long gone are the days of the eye-sore mix matched spice bottles laying around our countertops.

7. The Stagg EKG
Promising Review: “I love that it holds the set temp even when the kettle is lifted to pour several times. And so intuitive to reset the target temp. Just turn the knob - retro and perfect.” — Katherine H.
Editor’s Thoughts: The Stagg EKG is an electric kettle like no other. With an array of features including steady temperature control, 60 minute temp hold, and (for the true connoisseur) Bluetooth connectivity to the Acaia Brewbar Tablet app, the Stagg EKG is not for the lighthearted. The Stagg is built like a beast with its 304 stainless steel kettle body and seven options of beautiful colors. Perfect for your morning pour-over or evening tea, the Stagg, as Fellow states, is truly your countertop partner.

8. Yamazaki Rolling Kitchen Storage Cart
Promising Review: “Perfect for what I needed - it just fits into a narrow space between the stove and a cupboard and serves as a little pantry that I can roll out. It's sturdy and fits my teas, my olive oil, vinegar and various cans. I couldn't have designed it better for what I need.” — JaneTree
Editor’s Thoughts: A new organizational piece for your kitchen comes out of Yamazaki Home. Their Rolling Kitchen Cart, a slim wheeled storage cart that is the perfect size for oils, spices and sauces. Built for those narrow spaces that seemingly can’t fit anything, Yamazaki has their design on point, with easier-than-Ikea assembly instructions and strong build quality. Each cart also comes with hooks, which make it very easy to hang a loose measuring spoon set or ladle.
Get it on Amazon for $59.99
9. Yamazaki’s Rolling Kitchen Storage Wagon Cart
New release by Yamazaki!
Editor’s Thoughts: For those with a little more space permitting in their kitchen, we highly recommend Yamazaki’s Rolling Wagon Cart. A new release, the rolling cart has a beautiful wooden tabletop alongside two bottom levels with a shelf and space for basket (sold separately, but a game-changer). A second possibly unintended but perfect use for this cart is as a photography cart. We found that it’s great to wheel out to wherever there is light, and the interior nooks are perfect for storing backdrops and props.

10. Dash TastiCrisp Air Fryer
Promising Review: “I purchased this product as a gift to myself before the holidays. I wanted to give myself some time before reviewing it so I can really see if this thing is as great as it seems. After using it a couple of times I am happy to report that it IS as great as it seems. I've fried tater tots, mini pizzas, sweet potato fries, and even some carrots! I am so glad I purchased this and next up I'm going to try apple slices and see if I can't make cinnamon apple slices for a snack at work!” — MacKenzie M.
Editor’s Thoughts: For anyone who still hasn't hopped on the air fryer train yet, we highly recommend the Dash TastiCrisp. A perfect countertop companion, you haven't seen foods this crisp until you try the Dash. The air fryer was easy to use and comes with a non-stick, removable basket for easy cleanup. And we're all for easy cleanup. Our first go with the Dash was a bag of onion rings and we couldn't be more pleased if we got it fresh out of fast food drive through, and then we thought about the oil-less cooking — we were over the moon. We loved this size for any singles or couples, but Dash also offers a wide variety of sizes fit for your dinner table size.

11. Zyliss Non-Stick Cookware
Promising Review: “I've tried many nonstick pans, cheap, expensive, very expensive. This one actually works. I've only had it for a few month, so don't know about long term durability, but so far the coating seems durable.” — Barmoley
Editor’s Thoughts: We're here for a good non-stick pan, and we found that Zyliss fits the bill and more. Their non-stick frying pans offer a 10 year nonstick guarnatee, with a 3-layer PFOA free non-stick layer. They're dishwasher and metal-utensil safe, which we've tested to be accurate, despite our initial wariness of metal on nonstick. It has a heat-safe and heat-resistant grip and the pan itself has a heft to it that makes it durable, but not heavy to the point of being difficult to lift when full of good food.

12. Monkey Business Kitchen Accessories
Promising Review: “These are so adorable! I bought them to use with my All Clad cookware lids. I just leave them on the lid while stuff is cooking. I also love to use them with my Instant Pot when I am sautéing and mixing...it keeps the inner pot from spinning and protects from the heat.” — PlasticJackie
Editor’s Thoughts: Monkey Business has a set of pasta-inspired kitchen accessories that are a must gift for your pasta lover friends. From the Farfalloni pot grips to the Mafaldine elastic banes, these accessories are perfect pieces that are not only beautifully designed, but highly functional. While we highly recommend the Pasta Grande from experience, it would behoove you to check out their entire collection for every whimsical tool to fit your fancy.

13. KitchenCube
Promising Review: “I LOVE this. I can’t seem to keep my measuring cups and spoons in my drawers. They are always getting lost or always dirty or in the wash. This is awesome, I love the cup/spoon measurement or the ml! It’s fantastic! The ONLY flaw is you don’t have the ease of scooping ingredients as you would with a regular measuring spoon or cup, so if you can’t pour the ingredient into the cube you will have to spoon it.” — TJCarr
Editor’s Thoughts: KitchenCube is the newest measuring device, all-in-one, that you will want for yourself and all of your friends. It features over 19 cooking measurements from Cups, TBSP, TSP, and ML. We've gone ahead and ridded our pantries of the mix-matched sets of measuring spoons and replaced it with one KitchenCube — and our minimalist brains are celebrating.
Get it on Amazon for $19.99
14. Fire & Flavor Hero Grill
Promising Review: “Great bbq! Love the charcoal pods and the ease of use and disposal. Quickly heats up to 500 degrees and maintains the heat for a couple of hours. Just did two full ears of corn and two steak filets all on one pod. Then heated up a large 8 cup coffee percolator for boiling to clean dishes while camping. It was boiling still nearly two hours after starting. Great, great purchase!” — Ralph M.
Editor’s Thoughts: The Hero Grill is a portable charcoal grill that is single-handedly leading the portable grill game in 2020. It's compact, weighing under 10 lbs, and is, wait for it, dishwasher friendly. Using Hero disposable charcoal pods, it's perfect for on the go grilling, or for those not ready to fully invest in a full grill. The cleanup is arguable the best part of the Hero, with a simple disposal process. Each pod provides 60 minutes of grill time, and is easily extinguishable with water.
