Your kitchen should be a place you feel inspired to create, whether your skill level is grilled cheese or Beef Wellington. With these registry gifts from trusted, must-have brands, there will always be room to grow beyond what you think you can do. Plus, even if you love to go out to eat, it\u2019s nice to put some music on, get the wine glasses out, and make dinner together on some nights. To help get your ideas flowing, here’s our roundup of the best kitchen picks for your wedding registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KitchenAid Stand Mixer<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"the<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This five-quart stand mixer is a workhorse with 10 speeds that range from a slow stir to a fast whip. It comes with a flat beater, dough hook, wire whip, stainless-steel bowl, and pouring shield, which is helpful to catch rogue icing. You can choose your color, and it looks great on your countertop if you have the space. This item is a must-have on your registry list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix things up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These mixers aren\u2019t just for baking anymore. You can register for any of the 15 attachments that work with the mixer to make everything from ice cream to lasagna noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handy work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also good to add a hand mixer to your registry if you don\u2019t already have one. Some recipes specifically call for a hand mixer, and if you ever need to beat egg whites for a recipe, it\u2019s much easier to use a hand mixer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t skip this one because you think you\u2019ll never use it. This 14-cup food processor is high-quality and easy to use (it\u2019s either \u201con\u201d or \u201cpulsing\u201d). There\u2019s an extra-large feed tube, which makes it nice to pour in your ingredients without spilling, and it comes with a standard, stainless-steel slicing disc, a medium shredding disc, and a stainless-steel chopping\/mixing blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love salsa? Make it at home with just a few ingredients in your food processor and impress your love on Taco Tuesday date night. Make pie crusts, hummus, baby food, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"the<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Mega” is in the name of this kitchen system for a reason. If you want frozen drinks and smoothies, there\u2019s a 72-ounce pitcher that “pulverizes” ice to snow in seconds. An eight-cup food processor provides perfect, even chopping and makes up to two pounds of dough in 30 seconds. You get two 16-ounce Nutri Ninja cups with to-go lids. This set includes dishwasher-safe and BPA-free parts and some that have to be hand-washed, too. All in all, it’s a great investment for everything from future smoothies to homemade soups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuisinart 3-In-1 Cook Central Multi Cooker <\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The name is a mouthful, but it has to be broad enough to encompass all the things it can do. Aside from the six-quart size, this cooker can saut\u00e9, steam and slow cook with the push of a button. The large LCD screen prominently displays time and temperature settings, while the convenient Keep Warm feature automatically turns on once the cooking is complete to avoid food going cold. Plus, the pot is nonstick and dishwasher safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to make<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make favorites like beef and broccoli, chicken cacciatore, and the classic roast and potatoes. There are tons of recipes on Pinterest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cuisinart Coffee Maker and Single Serve Brewer<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Imagine waking up to the smell of a pot of freshly-brewed coffee, but you\u2019re both still in bed. This coffee maker does that, but what we really love is the duality. You can make your 12-cup pot on the weekends to sip on throughout the morning, or fill your thermos on the single-serve side and head out the door as you grab your toast. Brew a six-, eight-, or 12-ounce single-serve size. You can also control your brew strength. Want bold today? Go for it. Just don\u2019t forget to add a coffee grinder. Want a morning kick or an afternoon latte? Add an espresso maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip side<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not a coffee person, add a juicer or a Vitamix to your registry to get your fill of fresh fruits and veggies in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Le Creuset Dutch Oven<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"the<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This dutch oven sautes, cooks, and simmers like a dream, thanks to its amazing heat distribution and retention. It’s also gorgeous enough to sit out on your stovetop. Dutch ovens come in different shapes and sizes, but this one is a round 7.25-quart, perfect for making chilis and soups. You can also make one-pot chicken dishes, short ribs, or stovetop lasagna. It\u2019s like the ultimate casserole dish. These dutch ovens are heavy, but they have hefty handles you can get a good grip on. When getting such a kitchen staple that you\u2019ll use over and over again (especially in the fall and winter), we recommend a name brand, like Le Creuset, over an off-brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> This dutch oven can go in the oven\u2013at least, up to 500 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caraway Cookware Set<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a great base set, meaning if you have no “official” set and just random pots and pans, this is perfect to get your cookware collection started. If you do have cookware, this set ensures you have what you need. Each item is also nonstick, which means food doesn\u2019t stick to it. Want to up your cooking game and expand your collection? Add one or two cast iron skillets to accompany the set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
