Flexipan Molds
The beauty of the flexipad mold is one that I am absolutely ADDICTED to. I discovered these a few years ago and the great thing about them is that you don't need to coat them in oil. Instead, you can simply use them to bake up your favorite muffins, cupcakes or cakes–and then just pop them out!
Heat Resistant Oven Mitt
To be honest, I do one of the worst things that you can when it comes to baking: I simply end up using my kitchen towels! But that's definitely a big no-no, especially when it comes to baking up those Holiday cookies. Instead, opt for a high-quality oven mitt can can resist the heat. Plus, you can find some REALLY cute ones out there!
Squeeze Bottles
I know you might already have these squeeze bottles for ketchup and mustard but there are even BETTER ways to use them, just like chefs in restaurants do. Put sour cream, salad dressing or your liquid garnish into them and you'll be creating pretty (and easy!) plates in no time. It's definitely a MUCH easier way to top your tacos!
Silicone Non-stick Sheets
These are a completely new discovery for me and, I have to tell you, I've completely fallen in love. Professional chefs love these beauties because they're basically reusable cookie sheets. Whether you're making traditional Latino cookies or Cuban merengues, they're a much better option than constantly going through parchment paper.
