The 10 ESSENTIAL KITCHEN TOOLS from the Pro Home Cook

Serious Eats / J. Kenji López-Alt

Sure early man might have gotten away with a fire and a stick but any budding kitchen detective or even a good home cook looking to up their game knows that the right equipment can make life on the hot line a whole lot easier. None of the selections here are strictly necessary to cooking a fantastic meal but they just happen to be the gadgets I reach for most often in my own kitchen whether I’m cooking up 24 servings of the best chili recipe ever for testing or just packing lunch for my wife.

You’ll notice that I didn’t include any measuring spoons or cups in this list. That’s because when I need to be precise I usually use a scale and rely on weight measurements which are much more accurate than volume though I do keep a set of spoons and cups on hand for when I’m feeling lazy. If you want Serious Eats’ official recommendations you can find our reviews of the best measuring spoons and cups here.
