Beyond the Basics: Unexpected Companions for Your Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer

When hunting for cookware that can handle the Breville's multi-function capabilities, we were intrigued by Xtrema's Air Fry Oven Starter Set. These pure ceramic pieces – including a square cake pan, signature skillet, and versa pan with lid – are sized perfectly for countertop ovens.

The science behind Xtrema's approach is fascinating. Unlike metal alternatives, the 100% ceramic construction distributes heat with remarkable consistency. We appreciate how these pieces can go straight from fridge to oven without flinching, and the non-reactive surface means tomato-based dishes won't pick up any metallic notes. For those concerned about materials in their cookware, ceramic's inert nature makes it an interesting alternative to conventional options.

Lancaster Cast Iron's Wooden Resting Corner Spoon might look deceptively simple at first glance, but this Pennsylvania Black Cherry implement brings some clever engineering to the table. The corner-resting design is a thoughtful solution for keeping your counters clean while cooking.

Each spoon emerges from Lancaster's woodworking tradition, where function meets regional craftsmanship. We're particularly drawn to how the wood develops character over time – unlike mass-produced utensils, these spoons tell a story through their patina. The natural antimicrobial properties of Black Cherry add practical appeal to its aesthetic charm.

The Earlywood Flat Saute Set reflects founder Brad Bernhart's background in mechanical engineering. These wooden spatulas showcase how technical precision can elevate everyday kitchen tools into something extraordinary.

The varying lengths in the set address different cooking scenarios – reaching deep into the Breville for that perfectly browned casserole, or delicately turning roasted vegetables. We find the hardwood selection particularly clever; each type is chosen for specific characteristics like density and grip comfort. It's this attention to detail that makes these tools stand out in a crowded market of wooden utensils.

The re:Clean dishcloth from Ensembl tackles kitchen cleanup with an eco-conscious twist. This isn't your grandmother's dish rag – it's a thoughtfully designed tool that aligns with modern environmental concerns.

The cloth's texture proves particularly effective at handling the specific cleaning challenges that come with air frying and baking. We're impressed by how it manages to be both gentle on surfaces and tough on residue. Its biodegradable construction offers a glimpse into how even basic kitchen tools can evolve to meet environmental challenges.

The Goldilocks Utensil Set strips away unnecessary frills to deliver exactly what a cook needs. This collection demonstrates how careful curation can actually enhance functionality rather than limit it.

Each piece in the set pulls double or triple duty, maximizing utility while minimizing clutter. We're drawn to how the tools maintain their cool even during extended cooking sessions, and their balanced weight distribution suggests careful attention to ergonomics. It's a reminder that sometimes less really can be more.

Graza's "Grazola" 6 Bags collection reimagines granola through an olive oil lens. This gluten-free creation swaps traditional fats for extra virgin olive oil, creating an intriguing flavor profile that works in multiple contexts.

The individual portions make experimentation easy, whether you're adding crunch to roasted vegetables or creating impromptu dessert toppings. We're particularly interested in how the olive oil base helps the granola maintain its texture even when exposed to heat – a useful characteristic when working with a versatile appliance like the Breville.

The Taiwanese Sea Salt Essentials Bundle from Yun Hai brings centuries of salt-making expertise to contemporary kitchens. These crystals from Zhou Nan Salt Fields offer varying textures and mineral profiles that can transform simple dishes.

The different varieties shine in specific applications – from delicate finishing touches to robust seasoning during cooking.
