Kitchen Knife Set
Price: $19.99
This kitchen knife set looks way more expensive than it actually is, mainly due to its high-quality stain- and rust-resistant construction. The set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, 7-inch Santoku, 8-inch bread knife, 5-inch utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, kitchen shears and a universal knife block, so you have everything you need to try out new recipes every day.
Manual Slow Cooker
Price: $19.98
Another kitchen upgrade worth adding to your shopping cart is this manual slow cooker. The white and gold design gives it a more upscale feel than your typical countertop appliance. It features three distinct heat settings and is perfect for making dips, fondue and small-batch meals. Plus, the pot and lid are both dishwasher-safe, so they’re easy to clean up.
Single-Serve Coffee Maker
Price: $18.99
The sleek black finish, stainless steel accents and modern design give this coffee maker the look of a much pricier appliance you'd find in a designer kitchen. It can brew coffee in just 60 seconds and offers 6-, 8-, 10-, 12- and 14-ounce brew sizes, with an adjustable funnel handle to accommodate various cup heights. If you’re on a tight budget, consider this coffee maker instead of spending $5 or more at a coffee shop every day.
Electric Kettle
Price: $17.59
This electric kettle comes in a beautiful cream-white color that gives it a high-end vintage look. Plus, it features a 1.7-liter capacity, so it’s big enough to prepare multiple servings of hot drinks or meals. At under $18, it's a pretty affordable way to make your countertop look more expensive.
Food Storage Containers
Price: $18.99
Keeping pantry staples organized with these food storage containers can immediately make your kitchen look more put-together.
