Editor Quote: "The 12-inch pan is a decent-sized skillet and took over a good amount of my stove space. But I didn't mind since a small kitchen is temporary, but this cast iron is long-lasting. Even though it's larger in size, it distributes the heat evenly from one end of the skillet to the other. Plus, the pan comes pre-seasoned, so there's no prep work for me to do." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Commerce

Smart Sunglasses
Ray-Ban Stories Smart Glasses ($299-$517)

These smart glasses can take photos and videos hands-free with the built-in dual 5MP camera. Read the in-depth review of the Ray-Ban Stories Smart Glasses to see why they're an editor-favorite.
Editor Quote: "Similar to a classic smartwatch or smartphone, the device allows users to easily snap pictures and videos while they're on the go (and wearing the glasses!), switch between listening to music or taking a call, and even use the advanced tech's voice-control capabilities — where with the simple command of saying "Hey Facebook," you can actually instruct the glasses to send a message, pause a song, make a call, or even start recording a video. If you're someone who often gets distracted while looking at your smartphone, these frames remove the need to use your phone at all during the day — ultimately limiting your screen time, removing the temptation to check your phone while you're driving, and helping you to better live in the moment without having your eyes glued to a smart device 24/7." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce

Read our complete review of the Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones.
Editor Quote: "These over-the-ear headphones have the most comfortable yet secure fit. The ear cups are cushioned with a soft-fit leather lining that feels like a pillow. I like that these headphones are over-the-ear and not on-ear; they certainly don't squish against my earrings. As someone with a small head shape, over-the-ear headphones usually don't even fit me. But the Sony WH-1000XM5s are adjustable and don't slip off my head." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce

I'm no knife expert, but I do love to cook, and the Made In knives have made it easier and more fun." — Yerin Kim, editor, Features
