The right tools do not have to be expensive. They just need to make everyday cooking faster, safer and more enjoyable.
A sharp chef’s knife
One good, sharp knife handles most prep work. A sharp blade is also safer, because it is less likely to slip.
A large cutting board
More space means less mess. Pick a board that does not slide on the counter, and keep a separate one for raw meat.
A reliable non-stick pan
Perfect for eggs, pancakes and quick weeknight meals, and it cleans up in seconds.
Measuring cups and spoons
Consistent measurements mean consistent results, especially when baking.
A vegetable chopper or food processor
Chopping onions, garlic and vegetables in seconds can cut your prep time in half on busy days.
Start with the tools you would use every day, and build your kitchen from there.
