Appliances

Instant Pot, 6-Quart Whisper Quiet 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker

14-Cup Cuisinart Food Processor
My food processor is no longer made. Here is what I would buy today.

Vitamix 5200 Blender
Expensive, but worth every penny. blends everything to silky smoothness. no need to strain fibrous ingredients. extremely easy to wash (just run soapy water in it for 30 sec).

Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker Nano

KitchenAid Pro 600 Series 6-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer

iSi Heavy Duty Presentation Decorator Tips

LIPAVI Sous Vide Container Model C10 3.0 Gallon
I love these plastic boxes for cooking food sous-vide. They fit into my sink and fit the food bags a lot more efficiently than a pot.

Breville BSB510XL Control Grip Immersion Blender
The immersion blender I have is no longer made. This is what I would buy today.

iSi Gourmet Whip (1 Pint) - Multifunctional Food Whipper
I mostly use this siphon for a chocolate mousse. it can handle hot and cold foams. there is a cheaper one that only does cold foams.

iSi North America Cream Profi Whip (1 Pt)
This is a more affordable version of my siphon (it's more affordable because it only does cold foams)
