Just the basics
Everyday kitchen tools are the foundation of your cooking tool bag. These items are often taken for granted but we know they are key to everyday cooking. Regardless of what’s on the menu, these are the cookware items that make cooking more enjoyable.
Things we love
When it comes to electronics, we know not all devices are created the same. We roundup and examine the latest in cooking technologies. There’s nothing worse than a cooking gadget that’s supposed to make life easier only to find it does the opposite. Before you buy your next egg-and-muffin toaster, check our reviews.
Various appliances
Do you really need a device that hard-boils an egg? We jump in to discover the answer to questions like this an many others regarding traditional and modern day appliances. We once reviewed donut makers – what a scam – they can’t all be winners but your appliances can be.
We know knives
Knives
There is a big performance gap between a cheap knife and an expensive one. This is why people who cook regularly own good knives. The definition of a good knife does not mean you need to break the bank to upgrade your arsenal. In fact, for some, a handful of ceramic knives and a good chef’s knife will get you through. I’ve seen people spend thousands of dollars on knives they never even use.
We used, tested, and reviewed endless knives to help you find the sweet spot for your needs and budget. If you’ve never spent time to upgrade your knives, start with a chef’s knife. Just like a construction worker owns a good hammer, you should have a solid chef’s knife. Over the years we’ve pieced together a list of our favorite knife brands; this will help narrow down your search if you’re just looking for knife or two.
When it comes time to upgrade your kitchen knife set, it’s best to put together your own collaboration. Since we understand people are looking for simplicity, we have put an extensive writeup on the best kitchen knife sets based on tests we have conducted over the years.
