Remember your COVID sourdough? You didn’t go it alone: 2020 was a record-breaking year for home cooking. According to Kansas State University, 70% of U.S. households were the main food preparation spot for 80% meals. In 2019, the same survey found that to be the case in just 30% of homes.

The kitchen is open—at home. Most Americans (71%) plan to cook more beyond the pandemic, according to research from marketing firm HUNTER. A survey from PricewaterhouseCoopers says home cooking adds to quality of life.

While consumers research recipes and meal prep, distributors can offer their clients useful kitchen tools for their next campaigns.

Here are four products end users will want to keep handy in the kitchen:
