In an effort to fully test the Quince leather shopper tote, editor @annemariecontewc used one nearly every day for weeks, and sent a second one for leather expert @tanner.leatherstein to rip apart—yes, you read that right—down to its parts. Together, they discuss Quince’s hefty claims, whether or not it’s comparable to a Coach bag, and if it’s worth the $150 price tag. Head to the link in our bio to read Annemarie’s full investigation into Quince—including research into other Quince products. #style #workbag #laptopbag

A humidifier may help support your health during the long, cold, dry winter months. That is, as long as you clean it properly, change water daily, and (for ultrasonic models) fill it with distilled water. Otherwise, a humidifier could worsen indoor air quality and expose your lungs to bacteria, mold, or aerosolized mineral particles, which aren't healthy to inhale.

A smoky, smelly kitchen is annoying at best. At worst, it’s a fire alarm waiting to happen. Kitchen writer @makifeed tested the AirHood 2, a portable range hood, to see if it could handle cooking fumes better than her weak, over-the-range microwave fan. It did better than the microwave, but she isn't convinced that it's the best possible solution.

The KitchenAid stand mixer has had a mass following for decades, and is a common sight on any baker's countertop. But how has their design changed over time? Writers Michael Sullivan and Lesley Stockton compared vintage mixers from the '50s, '70s, and modern years to look at any changes. And spoiler alert: there aren't many. Tap the link in bio to read more about our stand mixer testing, and what we found when we took two apart.
Keeping herbs fresh until you're ready to use them can be a real challenge. One of the most common hacks is to create a mini-greenhouse for them using a Mason jar and sandwich bag—a method Kitchen writer @makifeed swore by until stumbling upon the OXO Good Grips GreenSaver Herb Keeper a few years ago. She's been using it ever since. Maki put her favorite method to the test, against the mason jar and produce bag methods, to confirm which was the most effective.

When it comes to food processors, the Cuisinart has long been the standard. (Raise your hand if your family has one 🙋♀️) We’ve recommended the 14-cup model for over ten years, but it earned a spot in the kitchens of celebrity chefs like Julia Child and countless home cooks long before we started reviewing products. The kitchen workhorse is about as close to a buy-it-for-life countertop appliance as you can get thanks to its enduringly-simple—yet effective—design. Read about all the food processors we’ve tested and recommend at the link in bio. #cooking #FoodTok
