The Kitchen Tools We’re Using and Loving Right Now

Sonal Dutt, food & lifestyle director: Each year, KitchenAid unveils a new limited-edition stand mixer design. And, folks, feast your eyes on this 2017 beauty. The new monochromatic mixer with all-black finishes—including a cast-iron matte black finish, black stainless-steel bowl and all-black accessories—is just oh-so-sleek. Seriously, I feel fabulous just having it on my countertop—even if I don't actually mix anything in it. (Although, for the record, I made Fixer Upper Chip and Joanna Gaines' chocolate chip bundt cake recipe last night and, I swear, it looked more chic than any other cake I've baked.) The company is only making 500 all-black models, and each one is individually numbered on the trim band so you know it's official. Not surprisingly, they're going fast. Stars like Jordin Sparks, Minka Kelly, Kristen Cavallari and Tamron Hall have all requested models, too. BUY IT: $999; kitchenaid.com
