Le Creuset Heart Casserole, $69.96

Silicone Baking Mat - 11.75 x 16.5in., $19.95

Bake everything from cookies to grated cheese without burning. Malin gave us these for Christmas & they were a godsend for holiday cookies. Until I started using this baby, I never met a cookie I couldn't burn.

Set of 9 Graduated Glass Mixing/Prep Bowls., $23.95

A mainstay with Malin & Nikol, these babies will make your kitchen work like a cooking show. Sizes range from one ounce (egg-sized) to 12-cups.

Beautiful professional knife set includes:

A good knife is like a song. If you've only used crappy knives, this gem (or the Henkels chef's knife, in the set above) will change your life. And don't forget the...

Henckels Sharpening Steel, $24.95

Sharpening after every use will keep your gleaming razor edge and make easy work of anything you want to slice, cube, or chop.

Cuisinart Coffee Maker, Automatic Grind and Brew, Black, 10-cup, $99.95

The coffee lover (or addict)'s dream come true. This baby does it all. Set the timer and wake up to freshly ground, freshly brewed coffee. Like having a Rosie the Robot in your kitchen getting your day started right.

Rice Cooker, $49.95

Back in college, Suzanne gave me a rice cooker our first Christmas as roommates. I knew then that we were going to be very, very good friends. I use mine constantly, most often for rice, but also for dumplings, bao, artichokes, etc., etc. This one has a nonstick pan and a stainless steel steam tray, plus a measuring cup and a rice paddle.

Kitchen-Aid Professional Stand Mixer., $369.95

Forget diamonds. The Kitchen-Aid Mixer is the showpiece of any kitchen. I covet. I always seem to see them in the kitchens of rich people who don't really cook, which of course sends me into fits of rage. This is the macho 525-watt version & it comes with a 6 qt. stainless steel bowl with pouring shield, dough hook, flat beater, and wire whip. The Soft Start speed prevents ingredient ‘poufing’ at start up, part of the 10 speed control; electronic sensor monitors speed; ventilation system cools the entire mixer, prolonging its life. Sigh.

Kitchen-Aid Epicurean Stand Mixer., $349.95

All the great features of the Professional mixer, with a 475-watt motor. Comes in a slew of impressive colors (the red and yellow are especially dreamy) that make it hard to pick between the two. Style or power, style or power? Decisions, decisions....
