Best Overall Stand MixerKitchenAid Artisan Stand MixerThe KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer is a powerful tilt-head machine. It is strong enough to knead the dough efficiently and evenly. The Artisan has a great user interface and high mixing quality. The design of the attachment and bowl system keeps ingredients from gathering in a ring around the bowl. This means there is no need to help incorporate proper mixing with a rubber spatula.

Large enough for two catsIf you have two cats that are friendly with one another, the Long Rich Reversible Rectangle may be a good option. This larger than average bed is easily able to accommodate two snuggling kitties. The walls around the side allowed our cats to burrow and get comfy with ease, whether sleeping alone or with a buddy. It also features some plush fuzz that is lofty enough to be cozy, but not so much so that it can get matted down.

Insulation Duration (500º F): 22 seconds | Fit (hand size): Small - MediumThe All-Clad Textiles Silicone Oven mitt is one of few sold as a single mitt out of all the models we reviewed. However, plenty of kitchen tasks only require one glove. With that in mind, this model offers plenty of forearm coverage for reaching into tall or deep ovens.

Growing Medium: Variety | Dimensions: 15.1" x 9.5" x 7.5"Fairly solid constructionDoes not include growing mediumMany green thumbs swear by using a heat source below their warm-season seedlings (think tomatoes, peppers, and basil), but this extra bit of warmth is usually provided by an external heating mat. The iPower Heated Seed Starter eliminates the need for an external source of warmth thanks to its integrated, self-regulated heater.

Budget-Friendly with an App Watts: 750 | Smart Functions: YesIf you don't need a full-sized sous vide machine, consider a smaller device like the Anova Culinary Precision Cooker Nano. This sous vide can keep temperatures super-stable for look cooking times. It is simple, intuitive, and features outstanding temperature control. Though it doesn't circulate as fast as some models, it still circulates quite well, and we love the smart features available through the Anova Culinary app.

Nonstick Material: Unspecified PFOA-free coating | Pan Diameter: 12 ¼"The Calphalon Contemporary Everyday Pan 12" is excellent for making big meals. One of the primary frustrations that we experienced with the other frying pans in the class was that their diameters limited the amount of food we could cook at one time - mainly when it came to pancakes. The included lid and oven-safe rating of 450º F further expands the culinary applications of this pan.
