| | | | I've been living in my new apartment for 4 months, and I still haven't unpacked all of my kitchen boxes. However, as soon as I moved in, I immediately took out my favorite pots and pans set, dangerously sharp chef's knife, and go-to cooking utensil (which I'll gush over later). Those are my kitchen essentials, and I couldn't cook without them. | | I asked my fellow teammates which kitchen tools and gadgets they wouldn't be able to live without. Read their responses below, and find links to their recommendations in case they convince you to try them, too. | | | | Sharing is caring,

| |  | | | Our team shares their favorite kitchen tools | | "I absolutely love my Chamberlain Coffee electric whisk. I got it as a Christmas gift one year, and it truly has elevated my coffee game. One tip I have is to use it with whole milk for the best froth; I learned it doesn't work nearly as well with almond milk." — Lauryn Gladd, lifecycle marketing associate | | "My favorite kitchen gadget at this time is a veggie chopper. I eat a lot of vegetables, so having a veggie chopper makes meal prep easier, quicker, and very convenient. Such a great invention! Love it!" — Carla Dawson, operations manager | | "Ninja Foodi! The Ninja Foodi has multiple functions, such as toasting, baking, and air-frying, so I only need one appliance instead of three or four. I love that I can flip it up to regain some counter space. It heats up in seconds and is large enough to make sides for a family of three or even bake a pizza. I use it every day!" — Ren Dias, editor II | | "I used to go the cheater route and buy the minced garlic in a jar. My kids gave us a garlic press a few years ago, and it's been one of my favorite kitchen tools! We no longer dread preparing fresh garlic, so it's used in many more dishes (great for the cold and flu season)!" — Heidi L. Smith, health coach team manager | | "I make a lot of cheese omelets and eat a lot of spaghetti bolognese, which need copious amounts of finely grated cheddar and parmesan. This microplane also does a great job of zesting lemons, limes, and oranges. Just be careful to keep your knuckles and fingertips well away from those hundreds of tiny blades." — Tim Snaith, newsletter editor |  | | "I use my Chemex twice a day every day to make coffee. I love its elegant design and that it doesn't contain any plastic components. It's made from heat-resistant glass, so you can keep your coffee warm by putting it straight onto the stovetop. If you like to make pour-over coffee, and you regularly make more than one cup at a time, I highly recommend getting a Chemex." — Ginger Wojcik, newsletter editor | | "If you're looking for an espresso machine on a budget, this is it. In addition to espresso, it can make cold brew, hot chocolate, and drip coffee. It also comes with a built-in milk frother. The machine lets you know when it's time to descale, run a clean cycle, and empty the drip pan. The best part about it is that if you're short on counter space like I am, this machine won't take up much room. I use this machine every day, and I can't recommend it enough!" — Sarah Choi, associate editor | | "A recent favorite of mine is this electric tea kettle/water boiler. Since I've started drinking a cup of tea almost daily, it's nice to boil some water quickly without having to wait for the stove to warm up. And I can still use the microwave to heat up oatmeal while it's boiling. It also has a large capacity, so I can boil much more than what's needed for my daily cup of tea (for cleaning or other hot water needs)." — Sarah Matysiak, associate editor | | "Kitchen scissors! I have three pairs, and they're constantly in use, opening food packaging, cutting chicken, pizza, veggies, pasta, soups, and stews where the chunks are too big — practically everything I do in the kitchen." — Lynn Prowitt, editorial director | | | | | | |
| | | | More than just for fish | | | | | | |  | | KSENDALO Fish Spatula | | Now that you've heard from everyone else about their favorite kitchen tool, allow me to introduce mine. I bought this $8 slotted fish turner last year, and it quickly replaced my other spatulas. It's great for making scrambled eggs or flipping pancakes, especially on nonstick cookware. I use it for everything! | | | Every product we recommend has gone through either Healthline's or Optum Store's vetting processes.
