Im happily inviting this change since its my favorite season for its celebration of harvesting, cooking and baking.
I also find that the change in cooking always means I am reaching for differentkitchen essentials.
I couldnt go without a Dutch oven, a zester or a set of pasta bowlsplus more.

Theyre clever and fun to have but also irreplaceable in terms of how much easier they make fall cooking.
Its all in the nameit zests and grates with ease.
Similar to a cheese grater, it has a stainless steel surface marked with openings.
Amazon
In fact,this model from Cuisinart is our favoriteone on the market after testing.
Wed know since we used it to test things like seared chicken and rice.
We love how durable theenameled cast ironis and found that it was comparable to models double the price.

GIR Premium Silicone Spatula
This GIR spatula isnt like any old spatula.
It has the perfect design with a lot of consideration behind it.
Its stiff enough to handle heavy mixtures but flexible enough to get into tight spaces for scraping.
Amazon
I own this 11-inch size, though it’s possible for you to grab it in other sizes too.
Its the best investment for fall baking, but it also goes a long way with savory dish prep.
This set is one of my favorites for its size and price point.
Amazon
I also love them for serving and have even used them to measure ingredients while baking.
This set is easy, too, since its dishwasher- and microwave-safe.
Its genius in quite a few ways.
Amazon
Oh and the leveler is great for accuracy, too.
Id recommend a multi-color pack, since it makes the measurements easily identifiable.
Its programmable with a digital display to make selecting the time and temperature you need easy.
Amazon
Its a total must-have thatll save the day anytime, whether for weeknights or big gatherings.
Its stain-, odor- and scratch-resistant too.
Its made with aluminized steel, which is a popular material for a reason.
Amazon
It helps evenly bake ingredients while retaining a durable, long-lasting design.
Its like a skillet but has a little more depth to hold ingredients inside with ease.
Use it for dishes like slow-cooked chicken thighs, quick lasagna, macaroni and cheese, cornbread and more.
Amazon
From Lodge, it features the brands enameled cast iron for even heating and quick cleaning.
It comes with a nice lid to lock in moisture.
Score it for under $100 before the season officially kicks off.
