BEST BLENDER FOR SMOOTHIES—AND SOUP!

Blenders aren’t just for smoothies anymore! Our innovative new blender has settings that heat up to 220˚F (104˚ C), which means it doesn’t just blend—it cooks.

With a cooking blender, you can make everything from smoothies and milkshakes to soups, jams, alternative milks, and nut butters. With eight preprogrammed settings and two custom settings, there’s no guesswork. The pitcher has a 6-cup (1.4-L) capacity for hot food and 7-cup (1.75-L) capacity for cold food, and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil-over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes.

3 CORDLESS PREP TOOLS IN ONE

Slicing, chopping, grating, pureeing, emulsifying, mixing, and blending doesn’t have to be time-consuming or frustrating. With the Flex+, you get three complete cordless, time-saving prep tools in one: an immersion blender, 6-cup (1.5-L) food processor, and a hand mixer, so you can quickly, effortlessly, and safely whip up whatever you’re making, anytime, anywhere.

Just click the power handle to one of the attachments, choose a blade (food processor) or be**ers/whisks (hand mixer), pop on one of the batteries, and you’re ready to go. We’ve included two rechargeable batteries to give you about 60 minutes of total run time.

The power handle has push-button control for comfortable one-handed operation. Five speeds (three for the hand mixer) easily adjust during use for flexibility and control over your recipe. Plus, indicator lights show how much battery life is left and the speed you’re using. A safety lock prevents the Flex+ from accidentally turning on.

CAST IRON

This set of cast iron skillets come preseasoned, so you can start using them right away. And their natural, nonstick surfaces gets better the more you use them.

Cast iron’s excellent heat retention means that food stays hot and delicious even someone’s running late for dinner. They’re also heat-safe to 650°F (343°C), so they hold up to searing, sautéing, baking, frying, broiling, grilling, and even campfire cooking. Metal tools won’t damage them either.

COUNTERTOP GRILL AND GRIDDLE

Rest assured, any time of the day or night, a delicious meal or quick snack is within easy reach. Whether you're making breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, or apps, this multitasker is ready when you are. And when your day does a 180, so will this grill, turning out family favorites and inspiring something fresh and new.

You’ll get four nonstick plates: two ridged grill plates and two smooth griddle plates that can be used in any combination and can be set to different temperatures for endless possibilities. For no-guess cooking, just set the included temperature probe to how you want your food cooked, and it’ll let you know when it’s ready. And it comes with a cooking guide with handy charts and delicious recipes.

There are three cooking positions for maximum versatility. You can cook with the lid closed to use as a contact press to grill meat and to turn out restaurant-style sandwiches, or you can open the grill flat on the counter to cook on both plates at the same time. There is also a Top Melt position so the top hovers over without touching the food to melt cheese. Plus, you can adjust the height of the top so it won’t smash thicker foods.

With the cost of groceries being so high learning how to cook with less waste is a huge asset!!

PRESSURE COOKER, SOUS VIDE COOKER, SLOW COOKER, YOGURT MAKER, AND STERILIZER

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you're doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more undercooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

CONFIDENT COOKING

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

UPRIGHT MANDOLINE

Our Rapid-Prep Mandoline lets you safely slice, dice, julienne, and french-fry cut fruits and veggies in seconds. Simply select your cut, adjust its thickness from 8 thickness settings, and get prepping. Our mandoline’s stainless-steel blade cuts through tough veggies, so you can transform a variety of ingredients into beautiful slices.

And, you can cut ingredients with confidence—our mandoline is designed to safely keep hands clear of blades. When you’ve finished prepping, you can store the food chute and food pusher in the food catch tray and fold it flat, though you’ll use it so often, you may want to leave it on your counter!

SNACKING MADE SIMPLE

Slice fresh fruits and veggies fast with the Cup Slicer. Just put your food on a cutting board and place the Cup Slicer, which features five stainless steel serrated blades, above the food. Then, push it down until all your food is sliced. Pour your freshly sliced food into your cereal, a fry pan, or a bowl. And when you’re done using it, run it through the dishwasher and place the blade cover on it for safe storage.

With the Cup Slicer, you can slice up strawberries, bananas, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, or hard-boiled eggs for a quick snack. It’s a great tool for parents!

Use it to make homemade salads, stir-fries, fruit salads, and healthy cereal add-ins without all the time-consuming prep work.

Magic is in the Mixing

Whether you’re baking a batch of cookies or making a meal for your entire family, the Deluxe Stand Mixer is there for you. It has no-guess presets that automatically reach the ideal time and speed, so you’ll never under- or over-mix your batter again! You can use the Custom setting to set a specific time and choose from 8 manual speeds to prepare recipes you already know and love.

Plus, the Deluxe Stand Mixer goes beyond baking! Use the scraping be**er to shred chicken and mash potatoes, the whisk to whip yogurt and whipped cream, and the dough hook to knead pizza dough. And if you’re not sure which accessory to use, the LCD display clearly shows you the recommended accessory for your chosen preset along with the time and mixing speed, so you can mix anything from meatloaf to sweet dough like a pro.
