Sorry folks, you don’t need a lot of really expensive toys like ceramic knives, copper mixing bowls, and enameled Dutch ovens to cook great food. All it takes is just a few of the Best Kitchen Tools.
So what exactly do you need? We went through our cabinets and drawers and made a list of our favorite tools, from sturdy kitchen shears that snip through chicken bones to a silicone basting brush for painting on BBQ sauce, plus what to look for when you shop. We test each tool personally to determine if it merits our Gold Medal Best Buy Award.
