KitchenAid has released three new fully automatic espresso machines — the KF2, KF3, and KF4 — each featuring a dedicated iced coffee setting and a footprint 25% smaller than the models they follow.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced in early April 2026 that approximately 740,000 Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue Stainless Steel Sauté Pans are being recalled due to a defective handle screw cap that can forcefully eject when heated. The pans — sold at Costco, Walmart.com, and Amazon.com — pose both impact and burn hazards. If you purchased this 2-piece set, stop using it immediately.
On March 30, 2026, KitchenAid launched the Artisan Plus Stand Mixer — the brand's most significant update to its iconic tilt-head design since 1955. Priced at $599.99, it adds five targeted improvements over the standard Artisan, including a first-ever bowl light, a dedicated fold speed, and a silicone-edged beater. Home baker response has been enthusiastic, though some feel the upgrade is more incremental than revolutionary.
Four US states have passed outright bans on the sale of nonstick cookware containing PFAS, with several more set to follow in 2027 and 2028. Connecticut adds warning-label requirements for PFAS cookware on July 1, 2026 — less than seven weeks away. If you own traditional nonstick pans, or are shopping for new ones, the rules are changing fast.
Electrolux Group recalled approximately 174,800 Frigidaire gas ranges in the United States on March 20, 2026, after the oven bake burner was found to ignite with a delay — building up gas that can combust suddenly and cause burns. Thirty injuries have been reported. If you own a Frigidaire, Frigidaire Gallery, or Frigidaire Professional gas range bought between June 2025 and January 2026, you need to check whether your model is on the list.
Le Creuset expanded its bread oven lineup in March 2026 with a new oval-shaped model — the first from the brand built specifically for bâtards, sourdoughs, sandwich breads, and other elongated artisan loaves. Priced at $300 and made in France from enameled cast iron, the Signature Oval Bread Oven directly addresses a limitation of the brand's existing round bread oven, which could not accommodate loaves longer than a standard boule.
With July 4th marking 250 years of American independence — now just weeks away — Lodge Cast Iron has released the American Road Trip Series, a collection of state-themed 12-inch pre-seasoned skillets that function as both everyday cookware and collectibles. Nineteen states plus Washington, D.C. are available now at $39.95 each, with the full run of all 50 states planned through 2028.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a formal safety warning on February 24, 2026, urging consumers to immediately stop using the Gourmia Six-Quart Pressure Cooker (model GPC625). What makes this case unusual: both Gourmia's parent company and Best Buy — which sold approximately half of all units — refused to agree to a formal recall, leaving roughly 43,500 consumers without a guaranteed refund option.
