Whether you’re setting up a new home or your skills in the kitchen are akin to a master chef, you certainly benefit from having the proper tools at hand. JCPenney brings you all the equipment you need for the fully stocked kitchen of your dreams. Here’s a rundown of the kitchen essentials that will simplify and enhance your cooking experience that may have slipped even the most organized minds.
Slicer
The idea of chopping up vegetables is enough to send most people straight to the drive-thru. But with a mandoline, you can easily cut, slice, and julienne your way to an unforgettable meal. Most mandolines come with attachments that allow for variations in the thickness and style of the cut to best suit your needs.

Shred, Grind, and Purée
Ah, the food processor—the kitchen’s jack-of-all-trades. Its various attachments allow for chopping, grinding, puréeing, shredding, and mixing—whatever your heart or tummy, desires. Whipping up everything from soup to homemade dough is easier with this prep-time-cutting appliance, making the cooking process less of … well, a process.

Blend
The euphoria one feels after a tasty homemade meal is often quickly displaced by the dread of cleanup, but with a blender, you can ease that burden. This handheld appliance allows you to keep your ingredients in the pot and blend them directly on the stovetop, cutting down on the dirty dishes so you can focus on more important things—like going back for seconds.

Cooking Made Easy
Remember when you were a kid and pots and pans brought you countless hours of joy (and everyone else a headache)? Rekindle that feeling—while putting the cookware to its appropriate use—with a Hard-Anodized Epicurious Cookware Set. With its even heat distribution, cool-to-the-touch handles, and oven-safe use (up to 350 degrees), this set is not to be missed. And with 11 pieces included, you’ll have the perfect pot or pan no matter what you’re cooking.

Flip and Stir
The last thing you want to do is ruin the prized cookware set with utensils that will scratch the surface. Your best bet is to invest in a set of nonstick cooking utensils like those that are nylon coated; they’re durable and gentle on nonstick surfaces. You can also grab a multi gadget set that is not only easy on the budget but easy on the eyes. They have the same benefits as nylon with the added effect of enhancing your kitchen expert aura.

Mix It Up
A stand mixer is the next best thing to having a sous-chef. While you’re perfecting one aspect of the meal, this mixer can make dough, pasta, or even grind meat through its multipurpose attachment hub. The best part is that it comes in a myriad of colors, so you can add a little style to the mix.
