The holidays are going to be here quicker than a kangaroo! A season of familial warmth, aggressive pie consumption, and the inevitable moment when you realize your kitchen looks like it hosted a flour-dusted cage match. Prepping for the feast is less about culinary finesse and more about survival, and I’ve learned (through many a smoke-alarm serenade) that the right tools can make or break your peace.
I’m ALL about efficiency and convenience!
I have armed my kitchen with a squad of heavy-hitters, including the internet’s darling, the Always Pan, alongside some Priority Chef gems and a few other MVPs. I always have an arsenal of reading glasses on hand for reading pesky labels, measuring, and recipes. These oversized reading glasses come in a 5 pack so you can spread them all over the place.
These aren’t just gadgets; they’re your ticket to holiday cooking that’s less “hostage crisis” and more “I meant to do that.” Let’s meet the lineup that’ll have you slinging stuffing like a pro.
1. Priority Chef Wooden Serving Spoons: The Stirring Genius
Ever try stirring a pot of gravy with a metal spoon that sounds like it’s auditioning for a Metallica cover band? Priority Chef’s wooden serving spoons are here to save the day—smooth, sturdy, and quieter than your cousin’s conspiracy theories at the table. They won’t scratch your pans, they’re eco-friendly for that smug green vibe, and they scoop like nobody’s business. Holiday hack: Keep one handy for sneaking tastes of mashed potatoes. You earned it.
2. Priority Chef Mixing Bowls: The Stackable Superstars
If your mixing bowls are a chaotic thrift-store collection, it’s time for an upgrade. Priority Chef’s mixing bowls nest like they’re practicing for the Olympics of organization—non-slip bases, lids that actually seal, and sizes for everything from cookie dough to “oops, I invited 12 extra people” salad. They’re so practical, they practically whisper, “You’ve got this.” Bonus: Use the big one as a punch bowl when the eggnog runs dry. Crisis averted, hero status achieved.
3. Priority Chef Potato Ricer: The Spud-Slaying Sorcerer
Mashed potatoes are the backbone of any holiday spread, but one lump can spark a family feud faster than you can say “pass the gravy.” Priority Chef’s potato ricer turns spuds into fluffy perfection with a press so satisfying, you’ll feel like a culinary god. No gluey messes, just creamy clouds that make your in-laws whisper, “How does she do it?” Spoiler: It’s this ricer. Pair it with a boatload of butter, and you’re basically a Michelin star chef.
4. Dash Mini Egg Cooker: The Breakfast Bandit
Deviled egg will be heavenly!!! Enter the Dash Mini Egg Cooker, a pint-sized powerhouse that boils, poaches, or scrambles up to seven eggs with zero drama. It’s so adorably compact, it’s practically mocking your coffee maker’s ego, but when you’re feeding a horde of hangry relatives, it’s a lifesaver.
Pro move: Pre-make deviled eggs for the big day. You’ll thank me when you’re sipping mimosas instead of cracking shells. AND EVERY EGG is perfect EVERYTIME!
5. Priority Chef Butter Dish: The Spread’s Stylish Sidekick
Butter is the unsung hero of holiday baking, but left on the counter, it’s a magnet for chaos (looking at you, cat). Priority Chef’s ceramic butter dish is a game-changer—keeps your butter ultea soft, contained, and safe from furry bandits. The lid doubles as a mini serving plate, because why not? It’s sleek, practical, and says, “I care about my spreads” without screaming it. Gift this to your baker friend; they’ll love you more than their sourdough starter.
6. Priority Chef Wood Utensil Set: The Spoon Squad Supreme
Why settle for one wooden utensil when you can have a whole posse? Priority Chef’s acacia wood set—spatula, spoon, tongs, and more—laughs in the face of scorching pans and sticky doughs. Ergonomic handles, hanging loops, and dishwasher-safe swagger make these the Avengers of your drawer. Stirring soup? Flipping pancakes? These utensils have your back, turning kitchen chaos into a symphony of competence.
7. Kitchen Scissor Chopper: The Snip-Snap Sensation
Herbs, pizza, that infuriating plastic packaging on your new gadgets—this kitchen scissor chopper handles it all like a boss. Sharp, versatile, and dishwasher-safe (bless), its separable blades make cleaning a breeze. Not a Priority Chef product, but it earns its spot in the lineup by dicing onions tear-free and making you feel like a culinary ninja. Challenge accepted, holiday prep.
8. Always Pan: The Instagram-Worthy Overachiever
Oh, the Always Pan—cookware’s equivalent of that friend who’s good at everything. This sleek, non-stick wonder braises, sears, sautés, steams, fries, and probably writes poetry in its spare time. It’s my go to wedding gift that keeps on giving!
With a modular lid, a nesting steamer basket, and a pour spout that’s basically showing off, it’s the pan that says, “I can handle your holiday roast and look good doing it.” Available in colors that scream “I’m Pinterest-ready,” it’s the multitasker your kitchen didn’t know it needed. Warning: You might start calling it “bae.”
9. ARTEMIS – LED light Therapy Mask
And why not get a infrared – red light – blue light therapy session while you cook or unload the dishwasher? Introducing ARTEMIS – Renpho’s latest LED light therapy mask! It’s deep penetrating collagen rejuvenating abilities and antibacterial are primo. 3 light modes, 5 light intensities and three timer settings 10, 20 or 30 min sessions. I love the auto shut off option!
I use this mini rice cooker on a weekly basis. Who doesn’t love fluffy cilantro rice, white rice, brown rice, mexican rice, asian rice in minuties. My faaavvv part is you can put the rice on, click the button and walk away. It’s auto off button makes it easy to cook with a busy schedule.
There’s your holiday kitchen arsenal, folks—a lineup that’ll have you cooking, serving, looking refreshed and maybe even enjoying the chaos. Wave goodbye to turkey neck because the ARTEMIS LED therapy mask has a lights in the chin strap that targert, tighten and tone under the chin!!
Gift these to yourself (self-love is a holiday vibe) or wrap them up for the foodie in your life. With these tools, you’ll be less “kitchen meltdown” and more “I totally meant to char the edges of that pie.” What’s your go-to holiday kitchen hack? Drop it in the comments—I need all the help I can get for next year’s feast. Happy cooking, and may your turkey be juicy and your family drama minimal!
Cheers to happy holidays, looking good and enjoying your favorite foods!
Love, cook or just look good!
