I'm a professional baker — most of my favourite kitchen tools are on sale ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2025
Cooking and baking professionally, combined with years of trial and error as a home cook, means I've tested (and tossed) a lot of kitchen equipment in my life. Over the years, I've formed very strong opinions about what to splurge on and what to skip altogether when it comes to outfitting your kitchen. I've cooked up a list of my favourite kitchen appliances, utensils, and accessories that have proven to be ride-or-die for the everyday home chef.
My favourites range from investment pieces like a Staub Dutch Oven to a set of silicon baking mats that are under $20. And the best part? So many items are on sale ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2025.

Scottie Scheffler family tree: Meet wife Meredith, parents, more to know about star golfer's roots
Scottie Scheffler has ascended to a level that few other professional golfers have before. His three majors wins, including two at The Masters, can only be matched by some of the sport's most well-known stars, and he just keeps going. Each time a major comes around, it's become an expectation that Scheffler will be in contention. When he does come out on top, the American star can often be seen celebrating with his family, including his wife and young son. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp From Scheffler's high school sweetheart, to his New Jersey-native parents, here's everything to know about those closest to the star golfer. MORE:Complete list of U.S. Open winners and payouts throughout history Scottie Scheffler wife: Meredith Scudder Long before Scottie Scheffler became world No. 1 in golf, he met his future wife, Meredith Scudder, in high school. Both being from Dallas, they began dating their senior year at Highland Park High School. "I had to woo her for a few years," Scheffler said with a laugh in 2023. While they met in high school, the couple spent some time apart in college. While Meredith attended Texas A&M, Scottie Scheffler went to the University of Texas, and they dated from a distance for all four years. 'At the beginning of high school I always thought he had a super humble ambiance about him, that he was just a really down-to-earth guy that doesn't take himself too seriously,' Meredith told Golf Digest of Scottie. 'Even when he had amazing accomplishments, that wasn't the most important thing about him.' The couple got married in December 2020. Photos from the wedding can be seen in Scheffler's 2023 anniversary Instagram post: Meredith is also in charge of curating opportunities for Behind Every Door (BED), a faith-based nonprofit which provides sport, educational and creative programs for youth in underdeveloped neighborhoods in the Dallas area. "I believe everyone has unique gifting. I love being part of an organization that is showing kids their giftings and giving them a chance to not only discover those gifts but see who God created them to be," Scudder told Veritex Community Bank for Essential Golf. Meredith can often be seen supporting Scottie Scheffler at his tournaments, whether walking the course with him or celebrating his wins. Scottie Scheffler son: Bennett Scheffler Scottie and Meredith Scheffler welcomed a son, Bennett, in May 2024. "Welcome to the world little one," Scheffler wrote in an Instagram post. "Your mom & dad love you so much." "I can't really describe the feeling of dreaming of just coming and playing on the PGA Tour, to be sitting at home with the girl I dated in high school with our child and then the Green Jacket sitting in the closet is a pretty insane feeling, and I just wanted to be as thankful as possible," Scheffler said after his son was born, per National Club Golfer. MORE:Every British Open winner in history, from Rory McIlroy to Tiger Woods Scottie Scheffler mother: Diane Scheffler Scheffler's mother is Diane Scheffler, who grew up in Park Ridge, New Jersey. Until Scheffler was six years old, the family lived in New Jersey, where his father is also from. They later moved to Dallas. Scheffler said in 2023 that growing up, his mom was the one "who was working and supporting our family financially, which I would say is a little bit different." She worked as a business manager at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates in the 1980s, according to People, then later became a Chief Operating Officer at various law firms, including Thompson & Knight LLP, Troutman Sanders LLP and Foley Hoag LLP. Currently, she is a consultant for Scout's East Coast Ranch in New York City. In his 2024 Masters speech, Scheffler thanked both of his parents. "To my parents, thank you for taking me to way too many golf tournaments as a kid. I love y'all both very much," he said. "I can't put into words what it means to have your support out here, win or lose. I love y'all." Scottie Scheffler father: Scott Scheffler Scheffler's father, Scott Scheffler, is from Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. He was a carpenter and stay-at-home dad throughout Scottie's youth, and he played a role in the star golfer's interest in the sport as a kid, including taking him to the driving range and with Diane, eventually getting Scottie access to Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas. Because of Diane's job, Scott was often the one at home, which Scottie told AP in 2022 that he "didn't know any different." "It's just what you do as a father for your children ... I've done for all of them. They've given us great joy," Scott Scheffler told AP in 2022. "[Scottie's] the one that did all the hard work, not me. I just raised him and tried the best I could to be a good dad.' Scott Scheffler, who often watches his sons tournaments in-person alongside Diane, has spoken of his son's accomplishments plenty of times in the past. 'I used to wonder, 'Can Scottie really be that good at his craft, at the game of golf?' And he is. He truly has been given a gift and he uses it," Scott told the New York Post in April 2023. "It does surprise me ... He's my child. He's my son. Sometimes you just say to yourself, 'Wow.' ' MORE:Why is the Masters always at Augusta National? Scottie Scheffler sisters: Callie, Molly, and Sara Scheffler has three sisters, the oldest of whom is Callie. She was born in 1994, while Scottie was born in 1996. '[Callie] was the classic first child. She felt a responsibility to look after her younger brother when she caddied for him in all those big junior tournaments," Scottie's manager, Rocky Hambric, told Power Fades of Callie and Scottie in April 2023. When Scottie competed in the 2016 U.S. Open as an amateur, Callie was his caddie. She played collegiate golf at Texas A&M, and Callie now has two children with her husband, Andrew. Diane and Scott also welcomed two more daughters, Molly and Sara. Molly, who also went to Texas A&M, now works for the PGA Tour as a communications specialist, per her LinkedIn. More specifically, she currently works in "Player & Agent Communications." Sara, like Scottie, graduated from the University of Texas and recently got married.

From West Philly To The World: Dion Ringgold's Blueprint For Impact
Dion Ringgold Dion Ringgold is a man who holds numerous titles. A quick scroll through his Instagram feed will prove as such, likely leaving you to deal with a range of feelings from inspiration to empowerment. Whether he's leaning into his editorial expertise as he jets across the country to interview some of the world's biggest stars or juggling professional obligations while being an active husband and father, Ringgold is a multifaceted individual through and through. As the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of InClub Magazine, a national media publication that explores the intersection of faith and culture, Ringgold continues to position himself and InClub Magazine as changemakers —a foundation that the outlet was built upon from its inception.'I started InClub Magazine because I hated the media, more specifically the way my community was portrayed,' Ringgold told ForbesBLK. 'To be completely transparent, it was the limited representation of the wider diaspora of the experiences and interests of Black Americans — I did not see myself or my interests highlighted. There were very few places that I saw, myself, a Black kid from West Philadelphia who loved art, film, and reading.'Nearly a decade in its existence, it's no secret that Ringgold's leadership and creative direction have continued to expand InClub's reach. While the cultural hub has amassed a reputation for insightful, quality content along with an ever-growing roster of A-list cover stars such as Tamika Mallory, Taylor Rooks, and more, it started much differently.'InClub was a mustard seed, an idea that the best way to change something is from the inside out. We are on a mission to show there is more to our experiences and interests and that we are not monolithic. At our inception, a book I read by Blake Mycoskie, titled Start Something That Matters, was what watered this seed, to be more than just another magazine, but a place for partnership with those doing good in the world. Now, it has evolved into a generational media outlet that gives a voice and place for those who contribute to the culture and expand its rich fullness beyond what mainstream often limits it to. We initially envisioned it as a quarterly publication targeted at college students, but it has since evolved into a monthly digital publication available in 13 global markets. And we're just getting started. We plan to be carried in more Barnes & Noble locations and Urban Outfitters across the country and launch in the U.K. and South Africa.'Dion Ringgold interviewing sports journalist Taylor Rooks. The extension of InClub's reach isn't solely a testament to Ringgold's leadership, but also to his faith. It's something that, according to the mogul, is embedded in every facet of the platform, internally and externally.'My faith colors and informs how and why I do everything, including why we're so audacious to believe we can be as big and as culturally valuable as publications like Vogue. It also shows up in the culture we've built, from honoring everyone, regardless of their role, being accountable to one another, and being environmental architects. We set the tone and temperature wherever we are, whether it's a red carpet, on a set for a press junket, or at Starbucks. It is also partly the reason we refrain from spreading salaciousness, or negative gossip or rumors. It feels lazy and does not sit right with me.'Dion Ringgold pictured with his wife Teona Ringgold and children along with former Vice President ... More Kamala Harris and former Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff. While InClub is just a year shy of its 10th anniversary, Ringgold's tenure as an entrepreneur surpasses that. Throughout his journey, one of the most significant lessons he has learned is the importance of creating sustainable systems that support the ecosystem of a thriving business.'What I've learned is that systems build business, and culture makes them relevant. Many intelligent individuals possess ideas and charisma; they are great hustlers. However, to be a successful business owner, you must excel at building systems and fostering a strong company culture. If your only goal is to make money, hustle away. But if your goal is to build something that will matter, something that will be part of the cultural zeitgeist, shape narratives, and spark conversations. You need the right people, the right systems, and the right culture. Hustling makes you money for that trip to the Maldives, while systems and culture build a harvest that your entire staff and their children can live off of.'Dion Ringgold and actress Blake Lively at the press junket for the 2024 film "It Ends With Us.' As Ringgold continues to carve out his own lane within the media industry, he will continue to embrace growing and learning, something he feels is essential for every leader. 'I define leadership as the ultimate servant of the vision, direction, and safety of those he is leading. At InClub, we don't call ourselves a team; we refer to ourselves as a crew. A team can achieve success based on the efforts of one individual. In a Crew, everyone must row at the same pace and in unison to reach their destination. I have realized that people and how they feel while rowing are equally as important as the mission of getting to the other side and winning. I am a mission-driven leader, and I am still learning and growing, which is the responsibility of every leader.'
