Made In Blue Carbon Steel Wok

“We have an induction stovetop for our home kitchen, and this carbon steel wok from Made In has a flat base designed for rapid movement and high heat and is optimized for all cooktops. It works on gas, induction, and electric [stoves]. It can steam, fry, saute, and braise. It’s naturally nonstick and consistently high heat. Personally, we use it to cook breakfast for our son — he likes to help with scrambled eggs and noodles. Our daughter Zoe loves when we use it to braise osso buco.” – Simone Tong and Matthew Hyland, chefs and culinary partners, Zoé Tong

Vitamix 5200 Blender

“[Vitamix blenders] are a must-have if you’re leveling up your cookery game — they’re powerhouses that can blend, purée, and so much more.”  – Peter Som, Culinary Creator

Jetkong 12-Inch Kitchen Tweezers, Set of 2

“Handle your business like The Bear—sometimes your best tools are a bit more delicate than your hands—use these for a myriad of uses—less clunky and even more functional than regular tongs, and even better, you can garnish your dishes with serious finesse.” – Peter Som

Escali Primo Digital Food Scale

“Compact, accurate, and cute (and comes in a bunch of colors). A scale is a baker’s best friend, and this one is my forever bestie!” – Jessie Sheehan, recipe developer, baker, and author, Snackable Bakes

KitchenAid 5 Ultra Power Speed Hand Mixer

“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would fall so madly in love with my cordless KitchenAid hand mixer. I already have very ambivalent feelings about my Kitchenaid stand mixer due to the fact I write easy recipes that don’t typically require any heavy electric equipment, but the cordless mixer may have changed all that. For making whipped cream or bringing egg whites to stiff peaks (the only two tasks for which I’d only ever use my stand mixer), my cordless mixer is my new bestie. It makes such easy work of both jobs, and the clean-up (which I hate) is no more onerous than sticking the beaters in the dishwasher, just as I would the whisk or spatula for which I typically reach. Moreover, if I ever do find myself being tasked with mixing a batter that requires a ribbony mixture of yolks and sugar or a fluffy mixture of butter and sugar, I quite literally now relish the opportunity, as It means it’s time to pull out my cordless cutie, which presently brings me more joy than any kitchen tool should.” –  Jessie Sheehan

Ovetedot Electric Milk Frother

“Nice things are nice, especially on vacation. This is the silent luxury that no one will admit they need, but everyone wants. I used to pack a small, cheap one, but I appreciate that this one can make hot or cold foam (versus heating milk up separately) and double as a kettle. There’s definitely other uses beyond matcha and frothing milk.” – Lauryn Bodden, founder, S’noods, chef, Sailing Collective

Gray Kunz Spoons, Set of 2

“A Kunz spoon is the Rolls Royce of spoons. A spoon is an odd thing to recommend, I know. However, I can guarantee if you ask a line cook or chef who works in any notable New York City restaurant about the Kunz spoon, their eyes will light up with excitement. We use it for everything in the kitchen, from basting and flipping proteins to plating sauces and purees. The industry legend Gray Kunz designed this spoon with a line cook’s best interests in mind, and he nailed it. No other plating spoon compares to the dexterity and feel of a Kunz spoon.” – Nicholas Capone, Sous Chef, Virgin Hotels NYC

Shun Cutlery Premier Chef’s Knife, 8 Inch

“These are my favorite knives, the Shun 8-inch chef’s knife. The knife is beautiful and feels great even after chopping onions for 10 hours. It keeps its edge even after a fall full of cutting through kabocha and winter squash.” – Rick Martinez, Chef and Author, Mi Cocina  

Sonos Era 100

“This is another kitchen luxury item I can’t live without: Sonos speakers. I use them every day, and I love them. They are small but deliver amazing high-quality sound, deep bass, and clear mid-range.” – Rick Martinez

Benriner Super Slicer Mandoline

“For quick, even, thin slicing, I love using this for everything from radish to cucumbers and potatoes. It makes prep easy and convenient!” – Remy Park, Author, Sesame, Soy, Spice and Founder, Frauth Matcha

Haden Dorset Stainless Steel Countertop Electric Tea Kettle 

“I could go on all day about how much I love this kettle. It doesn’t get fingerprinted or water-spotted. The handle stays cool; the grip is ergonomic. It comes in multiple colors, from bright white to avocado to candy apple red. The external gauge makes me feel like I’m back in a professional kitchen, and the steel construction is sturdy. This is an adult’s tea kettle, light years away from the flimsy plastic kettle that got me through my college Earl Grey phase.” – Mary King, editor, TheRestaurantHQ.com
