Epicurean All-in-One Cutting Board

A good cutting board should be sturdy enough for everyday prep without taking over the kitchen. This Epicurean board has a practical mid-size footprint, nonslip feet, and a juice groove, and its thin profile makes it easy to store. It’s also dishwasher-safe—a big plus for keeping everyday prep simple.

OXO Good Grips Stainless-Steel Tongs

A sturdy pair of metal tongs is one of those basic tools every kitchen needs. We chose these OXO tongs for their stainless-steel construction, comfortable grip, and locking design. They’re a great choice for grilling, sheet-pan cooking, and stainless-steel or cast-iron cookware. One note: because the tips are metal, we wouldn’t use them on nonstick cookware.

The Escali Primo is known for its straightforward design and accuracy, with simple controls and a compact footprint that won’t take up much counter or cabinet space.

Microplane Premium Classic Zester

A good zester is one of those small kitchen tools that makes a big difference. The Microplane Premium Classic makes it easy to add fresh lemon, lime, or orange zest, finely grate garlic and ginger, or finish a dish with freshly grated Parmesan. It’s especially useful in salt-free cooking, where bright citrus and aromatic ingredients help bring out flavor without relying on added salt.
