Erin Wade, chef and owner of Homeroom , a mac and cheese restaurant in Oakland, is also a cookbook author and founder of Not On The Menu , a sexual harassment prevention project. Her affordable kitchen staple helps keep food off the kitchen floor when cooking. Or at least, it changed the debris level on my kitchen floor. It has a wide metal face that collects food effortlessly, leaves the cutting board clean, and is not prone to spilling. Also, it costs like ten bucks. Lachlan Sands, campus president at the Institute of Culinary Education in Los Angeles, has been in culinary education for nearly two decades.
When it comes to affordable kitchen recommendations, Sands is all in on the inch heavy-duty tongs by Edlund. They grip, stir, scrape, flip, poke and place. Strong and durable, mine have lasted 20 years and counting.
They are an indispensable extension to my hand while cooking. Henry Wesley is the executive chef of 8UP , a hip rooftop restaurant in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. They're useful enough for daily prep and pretty enough to serve on. You can mound a surprising amount of food in the hollow, like lemon zest, olive oil, wasabi or even grated cheese like fresh parmesan.
My dad endearingly referred to these as "rubber fingers. Think the last little bit of something gooey like peanut butter from the jar, or getting every little bit of beaten egg out of a small bowl. I still use full-size spatulas for large work bowls, pots and pans, but these nonstick minis work better than spoons or my finger and fit really well into drawer dividers.
They're machine washable, too. I had never heard of a pan or pot scraper until my colleague Rich Brown sang its praises. I have an elaborate and finely-tuned method for steaming and scraping off stuck-on crud from pots, pans and bakeware, but I started getting a lot of time back once I began using this indispensable tool.
This kitchen gadget fits into your palm and easily scrapes away gunk with its flat and curved edges, which can also better reach into corners. Still expect a little sponge work, but mostly to wipe away loosened and leftover stuff. I was amazed with how my Lodge pot scraper obliterates the scum that builds up in a ring around the pan, say the leftovers of reduced marinara. It cuts through residue faster and more efficiently than a hard plastic spatula and it won't gunk up the scrubby side of a sponge with cheese, egg or starchy buildup.
I recommend keeping it visible on your sink, near your sponges and dish soap. I initially put it into a drawer and forgot about it, but now it's top of mind. My friend bought a fancy new dishwasher with built-in wine holders and gave me three purple silicone tubes that help keep your wine glasses safe in the machine.
She was right. They may look derpy, but this perfect gift probably saved my wine glasses more than once. You fit one grippy end around your overturned stemware as pictured and slide the other end, a hollow tube, over a peg on the bottom rack of your dishwasher. A wire that runs two-thirds the length of the attachment supplies structure. If a glass feels extra wobbly in the center of the bottom rack, I've been known to clip on two of these silicone holders for extra stability, one on either side.
I used to hand-wash my wine glasses and still managed to break one here or there. Not anymore. I've run them in the dishwasher on a weekly basis for almost two years.
Great for elegantly draining pasta, reaching for items on the top shelf, juicing lemons and even cleaning window blinds. Here are seven clever uses for kitchen tongs. I love a small saucepan for so many reasons, including frying perfectly round eggs one at a time and reducing broth and sauces. Melting butter and making modest quantities of caramel or hot milk and cream are also great in an itty-bitty pan, especially if you're trying to keep a small amount of liquid from evaporating too quickly.
I bought a "cup measuring pan" that's a lot like this one, with a long handle, and I like it, though it's not as thick as some of my other kitchen pots. I'd also happily consider a butter melting pot for butter, sauces, warming milk and boiling single eggs, but I currently use a tiny milk frothing jug for that, intended for espresso.

Jessica Dolcourt. Clever spoon and lid rest Holds multiple tools at once. Jump to details. For one thing, the anodized aluminum it's made from ensures that the cake pan itself is nonreactive, meaning you won't get weird flavors when using it with acidic batters.
Second: the depth. Extra-tall sides act as a shield for your cake in the oven, so it rises nice and pale, with a delicate crust. If you rely on freshly squeezed OJ in the morning, having an electric juicer at home can help you crank out a ton of juice at once.
But if you need only a little bit for a recipe, why dirty up the whole contraption when you can use a quick-to-clean manual juicer instead?
The design includes a padded lip that's easy to grab, plus a ring of silicone on the bottom to keep it from slipping on the counter. The sharp ridges of the reamer also produce juice faster than the competitors we tested.
