We’ve all been there: staring at a recipe for lasagna and realizing that our pan doesn’t match the dimensions. Or trying to make an extra-large pot of Sunday sauce, but missing the extra-large pot. Or salivating over a tiramisu in a cookbook but lamenting the lack of springform pans in the cupboard. Don’t let this happen to you! 

Here, Appetito rounds up the must-have equipment for Italian cooking, and we’ve located many items that are discounted up to 50% off on Amazon* to help you stock up your kitchen arsenal while saving you money.

Immersion Blender, $79
