Make quick work of chopping small amounts of ingredients with the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus 4-Cup Food Processor ($50). The footprint is so small that it can live on counters or in drawers for easy access.

The Benriner Japanese Mandoline Slicer ($50) is a workhorse sans bells and whistles, but has all the elements you need to achieve perfect slices of veggies.

No need to crouch down to get an accurate read with OXO Angled Measuring Cups (from $5; set of 3 for $20). Measurements are visible from the top.

Stream your favorite tunes or podcasts from your phone while you cook and entertain with the Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Music System in white ($200).

Lodge Pro-Logic 12-inch Square Cast Iron Grill Pan ($27) is a must for getting great results when you’re grilling indoors. We store ours on the stovetop, because it’s used so often.

Ideal for taste testing, the Contact White Dinner Plate ($96 for set of 8) is clean white, rimless (maximum surface area for what the plate is for, food!) dishwasher and microwave safe, sturdy yet sleek, and the price is right.
