Kitchen Gadgets Stars Can't Live Without: Must-Haves From Selena Gomez, Kris Jenner and More

If you can't cook with the stars, why not cook like the stars using some of their favorite kitchen gadgets and gizmos. Take Kris Jenner, for example. In December 2019, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star went gaga over the collection that fashion house Dolce & Gabbana did with Smeg, an Italian appliance brand. The collection included toasters, citrus juicers, coffee machines, kettles, blenders, stand mixers and more, all adorned with Dolce & Gabbana’s signature decorative style. In fact, the reality star was so impressed with the bright and colorful items that she gave them to many of her family members and friends as holiday presents. In January 2020, the E! Personality shared an Instagram photo of herself posing with dozens of boxes filled with various items from the line and declared that she was "obsessed" with them. The California native's daughter Kim Kardashian was even impressed with the gifts. "Did I ever mention for our Xmas Eve party my mom makes the best gift bags?" the KKW Beauty founder wrote above an Instagram photo of multiple Smeg boxes. "This year we were blessed with @smegitalia & @dolcegabbana appliances!!!" [sendtonews type="float" key="2nTiovJiXs-3111506-14453"] Even stars who are newer to the kitchen have items that make cooking just a bit more fun. When Selena Gomez's coronavirus quarantine cooking show, Selena + Chef premiered on HBO Max in July 2020, her culinary creations got almost as much attention as some of her bold and bright cooking utensils. Her rainbow knife set, which she referred to as her "Coachella knives," were noticed by many of the guest chefs, seeing as the Marco Almond set consists of stainless steel blades coated in titanium, which creates the rainbow effect. "Selena, I’ve never seen blue knives like that!" chef Ludo Lefebvre remarked in the premiere episode. In keeping with the colorful theme, Gomez also got plenty of use of her rainbow mixing bowl set, which is only available at Williams Sonoma and was created in partnership with Flour Shop — a New York City bakery beloved by the Kardashians, Bethenny Frankel and more.

"I've been approached by a ton of cookware brands over the years, but Made In truly stands out from the pack. Their mission to supply quality cookware at approachable prices is undeniably authentic and they execute on every level from the thoughtful sourcing of materials to the masterful finished product," the Top Chef judge told Us Weekly of the cookware company in August 2020. "I was so impressed with the cookware that I’ve stocked my home kitchen with it and will be outfitting my upcoming New York restaurant with Made In products as well. It’s rare to find kitchen tools so well-suited for both professional and home applications."

"Saying I can’t live without chili is sort of a half-joke that anyone who watched The Office will find funny. Kevin’s Famous Chili is all you need to know," the actor told New York Magazine in July 2020. "I do actually have a specific pot that I use for chili. It’s a very lovely pot from Le Creuset ... I honestly don’t think I made chili before the show, but now I make it fairly often, mostly during football season. Every time I make it, I post a picture of me with the chili on Instagram, and every time, 100,000 people like that picture because they think it’s so funny I’m actually making chili. It always amazes me."

"In September, I took my band to Alinea in Chicago as a thank you for giving me their lives and traveling with me. I do a lot of cooking, so I really connect with chefs and became friends with Grant Achatz. I saw that he was connected to [Made In] this cookware company, so I bought a few things," the musician told New York Magazine in July 2020. "The quality is amazing. They’ve since sent me some more, including a saucepan. When things are beautifully constructed, it’s great to be the beneficiary."

Selena Gomez

When her quarantine cooking show, Selena + Chef, premiered on HBO Max in July 2020, viewers got a peek inside her kitchen and peeped her kitchen utensils, including the rainbow knife set that became the unofficial star of the show. "I love your knives by the way. So cool," chef Candice Kumai told the pop star during one episode. "They look beautiful." Gomez noted that she received plenty of compliments on them and even referred to them as her "Coachella knives."

While garlic presses are a pretty common kitchen tool, the Cravings author is a fan of the lesser used garlic peeler. In fact, when she made care packages for her pals in June 2020 that included all of the ingredients to make her favorite avocado snack, each package contained one the gadgets. It's basically a small silicone sleeve and when you place a garlic clove inside and roll it around a few times, the peel slips right off. "I included the press for the garlic, the little garlic peelers which a lot of people don’t use," she explained on her Instagram Stories at the time.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star noted that her high-end coffeemaker is integral to the start of each day for her. "The Miele makes the most creamy coffee. Every cup tastes fresh and has this creamy consistency to it, even if you don’t add milk," she told New York Magazine in May 2020. "My husband is a big coffee drinker as well, and he loves this coffee maker too. Before the kids wake up, we make our coffee and drink it with each other. That time together is how we start our day."

"Most nights, we make dinner together. My kids really love to help, so I have them wash and peel the vegetables," the Office alum told New York Magazine in March 2020. "We make a lot of soups and stews, which are what we mostly use our Le Creuset for, especially in the winter. Soups are a great way to conserve your pantry and use everything you have. I love Italian Wedding Meatball Soup. It’s super-easy for anyone to make."

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is a big fan of tea and collagen lattes, so she swears by the hot beverage station that she set up next to her bed. In a May 2019 Poosh post, she noted that this setup includes double-walled mugs, collagen powder and a Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle. "It’s a game changer," the article promised.

Since the Sister, Sister alum is a busy mom, she loves to make a bunch of her meals in an electric pressure cooker, which uses high pressure to prepare everything from ribs to mac and cheese in much less time than a standard pressure cooker. In June 2018, the Twitches star shared her beef stew recipe that she whipped up in just 35 minutes with help from the gizmo. "What's so cool about this thing, is you can do so many amazing things in this — you can make cheesecake, yogurt, there's a button here that says 'egg.' This is like my new husband!"
