When it comes to kitchen tools, I have my go-to brands. Like, what chef can be without a Dutch oven from Le Creuset or a seasoned cast iron grill pan from Lodge? In my honest opinion, there’s really only one food processor, and that’s the tried-and-true Cuisinart version. And as far as stand mixers go, well, let’s just say KitchenAid has earned its beloved reputation.
While KitchenAid may not be your first thought when it comes to buying the little accouterments, like a rubberwood cutting board or a silicone baking mat, the brand certainly shines in this category, too. And right now, you can find some great deals at Amazon on KitchenAid kitchen tools. It’s the perfect time to update your kitchen gear for the new year. Best of all? All of these picks are under $20.

Bamboo Turner and Spoon Set
Amazon
I don’t know about you, but my wooden spoons are dried out and tired, so I’ll be replacing them with these bamboo numbers from KitchenAid. This set, made of eco-friendly bamboo includes a spoon and a slotted turner. They’re safe for use on all cookware, including nonstick pans, and stand up to everyday use.
Albany 8-Piece Dish Cloth Set
Amazon
If you’re looking for absorbable dish cloths, look no further. KitchenAids’s Albany cloths are made of just cotton and work great for wiping up everyday spills or for drying wet dishes. This classic towel set includes four stripped and four solid towels that you can mix and match with oven mitts and potholders for a coordinated look. Each dishcloth measures 12 by 12 inches and can be machine washed on cold and tumbled dry.
Gourmet Forged Santoku Kitchen Knife
Amazon
A santoku knife is the ideal prep work knife, and often outshines the coveted chef’s knife when slicing ingredients like cheese or cabbage. This particular 7-inch knife features a razor-sharp, semi-polished Japanese steel blade that’s hardened and tempered for durability. It also features oval indentations to reduce sticking. The ergonomic handle boasts a textured finish for control and comfort, and the custom-fit blade cover protects its longevity, as well as your hands when it’s stored.
Bamboo Wood-Handled 2-Piece Mini Spatula Set
Amazon
I never think about owning a mini spatula until I actually need one (like when I’m cleaning out the dregs of the peanut butter jar), so I’m springing for this set of two. The mini spoon works great for scooping cookie batter from a bowl, and the mini scraper makes sure every last bit is used. Crafted from high-quality silicone heads (they’re heat-resistant to 500°F) and bamboo handles, these spatulas stand up to everyday use.
No Mess Multi-Function Can Opener
Amazon
With all the newfangled appliances I have these days, I don’t have room for an electric can opener. That’s where this manual one from KitchenAid comes in handy, as it can be stashed away in a drawer until needed. This opener is equipped with a razor-sharp stainless steel cutting wheel, a magnetic feature that locks onto the can, and soft, ergonomic handles to reduce strain. Its effortless turning knob is designed for those with limited hand strength, and it doubles as a bottle opener, saving space in your kitchen.
Rubberwood 11 x 14-Inch Cutting Board
Amazon
This rubberwood cutting board from KitchenAid is a refreshing find. Unlike other materials, it is durable and retains its shape wash after wash. It’s also gentler on knife blades and doesn’t mar as easily as other options. This board features a perimeter trench to catch the juices of meat or tomatoes for easy cleanup, and the reversible surface allows you to meal prep on one side, and then flip it around for meal presentation on the other. (Cheeseboard, anyone?)
Gingham Oven Mitt Set
Amazon
These gingham mitts remind me of the ones my grandmother used. Made of heat-resistant cotton with a classic gingham print, these mitts prove both functional and stylish. Use them to tote hot pans to and from the oven, and then display them from a hook with their convenient hanging loop to enhance your kitchen’s decor. These mitts match back to KitchenAid’s dish towels so you can color coordinate, and they’re machine-washable on cold, too.
Universal Measuring Cups Set
Amazon
I’m constantly rifling through drawers to find the one size measuring cup I need, but with KitchenAid’s cup set, every size will be right at my fingertips, from ¼ cup to 1 cup. These plastic cups nest neatly into each other and are held together with a plastic ring for space-saving storage. They also feature both American and metric markings. The BPA-free plastic construction is dishwasher-safe, too.
Digital Waterproof Kitchen and Food Scale
Amazon
Whether you’re baking or aiming for perfectly even portions of coffee, this KitchenAid food scale makes it easy. This little kitchen scale calculates both grams and ounces with touch-capacitive buttons that don’t collect dust and can be easily wiped clean. This scale includes a tare function so you can weigh all your ingredients in one container, and the last visible weight locks into place, even once the food item is removed. Best of all, this scale’s digital components are watertight, making cleanup a breeze.
Silicone 9 x 14-Inch Baking Mat
Amazon
My stainless steel baking sheets will love the protection from this silicone mat, designed to fit snugly in a 9 x 14-inch baking pan. The nonstick surface takes the place of disposable parchment paper, assuring the easy removal of all baked goods. This mat is heat resistant up to 500°F, plus it’s dishwasher-safe and rolls up for easy storage. Equipped with side rulers and a non-slip design, it makes precise baking projects a breeze.
