Lodge 6-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Lodge 6-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Its squat design allows for superior searing, with a wide, slightly curved base that helps spoons and whisks reach every crevice. It also offers roomy handles for a comfortable grip.

ThermoWorks ThermoPop 2

The best instant-read thermometer

Other things to know: Offers a bigger screen, a thinner probe, improved IP67 water and dust resistance, and a rotating screen, in contrast to the previous-generation model. Switching from Fahrenheit to Celsius isn't intuitive. Use code WCPOP24 to get the deal; price includes shipping.

OXO Good Grips 4-Cup Fat Separator

Our one-time pick for the best fat separator

Whynter ICM-128BPS ice cream maker

Whynter ICM-128BPS

An ice cream maker we like if you prefer a fluffy texture

Many of our testers found the ice cream from this self-cooling compressor-style model to be just the right texture: light, creamy, and stretchy. There’s no pre-freezing required, so you can make batch after batch of frozen confections with no need for extra freezer space or patience.

Buying Options

$195 $165 from Amazon

With clipped on-page coupon (limited colors)

$206 from Wayfair
