I cannot stress to you enough how awesome this Instant Pot is! I love it so much, I have two different sizes (the 6 and 8 quart). I use them multiple times a week and there’s so much you can do with them. I make yogurt, pressure cook, sauté, and it is the best! I will admit when I first got it I was a little intimidated by it, but now it’s one of my most used appliances in the kitchen.

FoodSaver V2244 Vacuum Sealer Machine for Food Preservation with Bags and Rolls Starter Kit | #1 Vacuum Sealer System | Compact & Easy Clean | UL Safety Certified | Black
We use this food saver quite a bit. There are only three of us and Austin doesn’t always eat what we eat anyway. Sometimes it’s cheaper to get the bigger packs of meat at the grocery store. When I buy those, we just divide them up when I bring them home from the store and use this vacuum sealer to package them up. It’s easier than it sounds and it helps keep everything fresh. Sometimes I will get 2-4 packs of meat off of one large pack. This is definitely handy to have. You can also use it to seal other frozen foods, not just meat.

They are microwaveable, dishwasher, and freezer safe. If they get messed up from him taking them to work, it’s not a big deal to throw one out. I’d rather have to get rid of one of these than one of my nicer containers. They are reasonably priced and it comes with 24 containers so you have plenty to start with!

George Foreman 5-Serving Removable Plate Grill and Panini Press, Platinum, GRP472P
I ordered this for Dustin a while back, because he claims I got rid of his old one. I don’t recall doing that (LOL), but I still replaced it. I love that you can put the grill plates in the dishwasher. They are so easy to clean. If it’s rainy or we just want something quick, we will cook hotdogs on it instead of getting the grill up and going. It’s nice to have around for when you do need it.
Home Basics Stainless Steel Bread Box with Roll Up Lid, For Easy Kitchen Counter Storage, Bread Bin Holder, Red
I love this bread box because it’s large. It fits a regular sized loaf of bread plus another small pack of something else. When I make banana bread, I will wrap it up and store it in here with our bread and buns will fit nicely also. It comes in different colors too.
