We\u2019ve teamed up with LG<\/a> to help you level up your kitchen game. Whether you\u2019re in the market for a new, energy-efficient range or you\u2019re looking to splurge on a state-of-the-art wine fridge, LG has you covered when it comes to reliable home appliances.<\/em><\/p>\n

As a recipe developer and cookbook author, I spend the majority of my time in the kitchen. Not only is it the place where I work, but it\u2019s also the central hub of my house. It\u2019s where friends congregate when they come over, it\u2019s where we cook as a family, and, let\u2019s be real, wherever the food is, that\u2019s where I want to be. Needless to say I have a lot<\/em> of opinions on all things kitchen-related. While I pride myself on being able to cook anywhere, there\u2019s nothing quite like a well-equipped kitchen to make cooking\u2014and gathering\u2014a breeze.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 kitchen upgrades that are actually worth the money.<\/p>\n

1. LG STUDIO 36\u201d Induction Cooktop with 5 Burners and Flex Cooking Zone<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

Gas is out, induction is in. It\u2019s no secret that induction cooktops<\/a> are the way of the future\u2014so why not make the upgrade now? This sleek LG Studio cooktop has five burners and an easy-to-use glass touchpad so you can balance multiple pans at the same time, which makes cooking for a crowd easy-as-pie. While most cooktops have circular burners, this version actually has two square burners so that you can keep casseroles warm on the stovetop without bothering to turn on the oven. Induction cooktops also heat rapidly, so gone are the days of watching a pot of water come to a boil. And if you have kiddos in the house, you can rest assured knowing there\u2019s no way for them to accidentally start a fire or burn themselves on the cooktop\u2014your pans will get hot, but the stove does not.<\/p>\n

2. Hestan Copperbond Induction Copper 10-Piece Cookware Set<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

An induction cooktop deserves a new set of cookware to go with it (plus, you\u2019ll need cookware that\u2019s magnetic for the induction to work). I\u2019m a die-hard fan of copper anything, and this collection is no different\u2014it\u2019s also one of the only copper cookware sets that\u2019s induction-friendly thanks to the stainless-steel bottoms. Handmade in Italy, this gorgeous 10-piece copper and stainless-steel set has every size you need to get started making your dream meals in the kitchen. I love that the stainless-steel ensures that heat is distributed evenly resulting in perfectly cooked meals, every single time.<\/p>\n

3. LG STUDIO 4.7 cu. ft. Smart InstaView\u00ae Electric Single Built-In Wall Oven with Air Fry & Steam Sous Vide<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

I love a special appliance as much as the next person, but if you\u2019re like me and your kitchen counters are short on space, it\u2019s time to consolidate. Enter: This built-in wall oven from LG Studio that has the ability to work as an air fryer and sous vide, as well as an oven, too. It\u2019s the perfect appliance to inspire creativity in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

4. LG 1.7 cu. ft. Smart Over-the-Range Convection Microwave with Air Fry<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

My partner turned me on to the joys of a convection oven, and now I\u2019ll never have a kitchen without one. I love this microwave that conveniently combines a convection oven, and air fryer all in one, making quick-cooking, reheating, and air frying super low-effort with high (and delicious) rewards.<\/p>\n

5. Food52 x Dansk K\u00f8benstyle Casserole<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

A good Dutch oven is the true workhorse of the kitchen. I love this retro version from Dansk, which is made with triple-enameled carbon steel and is sure to cook every soup, stew, and braise as evenly as can be. Not only that, but it\u2019s available in an assortment of candy-hued colors to satisfy every palette.<\/p>\n

6. Professional End Grain Maple Board<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve been lugging around my butcher block cutting board for over a decade whenever I move. If cleaned properly, these boards truly last a lifetime, only getting better with age. With a ton of surface area, it\u2019s ideal for any prep, from breaking down a chicken to setting up all your mise for dinner.<\/p>\n

7. LG 23 cu. ft. Smart wi-fi Enabled InstaView\u2122 Door-in-Door\u00ae Counter-Depth Refrigerator with Craft Ice\u2122 Maker<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

Where do I begin? This is the refrigerator of my dreams. First, there are two separate freezer drawers so you can stock your essentials up top, and bulkier frozen items at the bottom. There\u2019s an easy-to-access door that allows you to reach for all your drinks of choice, without having to open the full refrigerator and letting the cool air out (we love a sustainable moment!). But the real selling point of this refrigerator is its ability to make Craft Ice\u2122\u2014beautiful round spheres that look like the pros made them, ready for any cocktail<\/a> or mocktail<\/a> you want to whip up.<\/p>\n

8. ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Pro Knives<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

A good, sharp chef\u2019s knife is arguably the most important tool in the kitchen. And if you\u2019re already making other upgrades, you might as well splurge on a whole set. This set by Zwilling has a knife for all your slicing and dicing needs. Pro tip: Sharp knives are actually safer to use thanks to the ability to control where the blade will move.<\/p>\n

9. LG SIGNATURE 15 cu. ft. Smart wi-fi Enabled InstaView\u00ae Wine Cellar Refrigerator<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re an avid cook, you know the importance of keeping a bottle (or two) of wine in the refrigerator for cooking. After all, wine not only adds acidity to dishes, but also deglazes pans while enhancing the flavor of whatever you\u2019re cooking. But with a fridge full of ingredients, sometimes it\u2019s hard to find a place to store that bottle (or bottles<\/em>). This wine refrigerator can store a whopping 65 bottles. It also reduces light exposure, locks in humidity, and since red and white wine are stored at different temperatures, this fridge has three optimal temperature sections that can be cooled separately\u2014all from your smartphone.<\/p>\n

10. Schott Zwiesel Verbelle Wine Glasses, Set of 6<\/a><\/h3>\n

Every household needs a good set of wine glasses. Inspired by sommeliers, this set of six does double duty for being as elegant as it is durable. Better yet, they\u2019re dishwasher-friendly.<\/p>\n
