The Tramontina Gourmet 10-Piece Hard Anodized Aluminum Cookware Set includes everything needed to braise, sauté, simmer or sear. It stands out for its heavy-duty aluminum construction and reinforced nonstick interior made without PFOA, lead or cadmium.

The aspirational choice in stand mixers, the Ankarsrum takes baking to a new level. Unlike other mixers, this powerful appliance has a rotating bowl instead of something rotating in a bowl, to simulate kneading by hand. The large bowl handles up to 12-15 pounds of dough, and is open at the top, making it easier to add ingredients. Baking is just the beginning for this multifunctional appliance.
Because nothing says holiday like cookies baking in the oven, Betty Bossi presents an innovative Cookie Press for two-tone cookies in six different shapes: stars, flowers, clovers, wreaths, checkerboards and “S.” Just choose the mold and add dough — in one or two colors — then fill the pan with perfectly shaped cookies. One click, one cookie — the Cookie Press makes it easy with simple, one-handed use.

This masterpiece of Swiss engineering stands out for technology and innovation, with an ultra-fast automatic grinder, eighth-generation brewing unit, and Cold Extraction Process for a refreshing genuine cold brew experience with a balanced aroma.
