This Is the Cookware and Kitchen Gear That’s Already Trending This Summer, Including Blackstone, Ninja, Le Creuset, Stanley, and More

Sometimes, gear starts trending because it’s featured in a film or TV show (like certain dinnerware pieces on The Bear right now), or occasionally, things go viral on social media and pique the interest of a great many people. When we peruse our favorite websites for cooking gear, it’s always fun to see what people are connecting with any given moment. Like, we were pleasantly surprised to see that Drew Barrymore’s infrared air fryer and toaster oven was so popular at Walmart right now. (I don’t recall seeing it on The Bear, that’s for sure.) In the case of Le Creuset’s mini round cocottes, it’s fun to envision that a wave of home cooks across the country decided all at once that serving individually portioned molten chocolate cakes for dessert was totally “in.”

This summer, we’ve kept our ear to the digital ground, and have corralled some of the most interesting (or in some cases, simply eternally popular) cookware, dining products, appliances, and more. 

Igloo x Parks Project Playmate Cooler 

Show us an Igloo cooler and we’re already sold. But a collaboration between Igloo and Parks Project featuring art from different national parks? With this 16-quart cooler in a vibrant, retro green colorway, we’re ready to load up some beer and hit the road to Yellowstone.

Beautiful by Pur 12-Cup Water Filtration Pitcher

Drinking tasty, pollutant-free water is a great thing to do when possible, so it’s nice to see that people seem to be loving this Pur 12-cup filtration pitcher that features quick filtration, a locking lid, and a pretty nice filter life (lasting up to two months).

Le Creuset Mini Round Cocotte

Le Creuset die-hards are a very discerning bunch, so when the Mini Round Cocotte ends up at the very top of the French brand’s bestsellers page, we take note. These are the perfect size for dips, nuts, personal desserts, or just about anything else you’d like to house in a vibrant, fun little piece of enameled stoneware.

Blackstone 4-Burner Propane Griddle

We’ve been seeing Blackstones everywhere this summer, from social media to our own backyards. They’re simply hot right now (pun intended, sorry). This four-burner griddle features great heat distribution, wind guards, and even a hard cover.

Stanley 40-Ounce FlowState Quencher Tumbler

You probably know why Stanley cups became so popular last year. (If you don’t, just watch this viral video and imagine the rest.) Whether you need to replace an old water bottle or just want to see what the hype is all about, this 40-ounce Quencher has essential features like double-walled vacuum insulation, BPA-free stainless steel, and a reusable straw.

All-Clad Copper Core 15-Piece Cookware Set

We did actually see some All-Clad being used on the new season of The Bear, which could be one of the many reasons shoppers love this 15-piece copper core set right now. It could also just be because this commercial-grade cookware heats evenly and looks gorgeous.
