Best Kitchen Utensils

Hand tools for food prep: chef's knives and knife sharpeners, mandoline slicers, cheese slicers, tofu presses, spice and herb grinders, rotary egg beaters, spaetzle makers, fruit carving kits and sushi making kits. Safety features such as hand guards matter most on mandolines. For knives, the steel and the edge angle decide how long an edge lasts and how easily it can be sharpened again.
