Equipment We Love


The ever-elusive, perspective-laden puzzler: What’s your favorite kitchen tool? It’s a typical question for kitchen-types—one that gets asked as frequently as “How do you take your coffee?” or “Excuse me, where is the bathroom?” It’s a question with a number of competing answers, and it’s something we try to figure out on the reg (and something you all like to ask in the comments erryday). Our opinions are constantly changing with new experiences, fresh recipes, and more time spent in the kitchen getting our hands dirty
 
At ChefSteps, we love a challenge, but narrowing the answer to that question down to just one perfect kitchen piece is basically impossible. Some people love the methodical chop of a well-sharpened chef’s knife, while others relax to the whirl of a top-notch blender puréeing vegetables to a smooth and creamy treat. Whether you like to kick it electronic or old school, we can all agree that a kitchen wouldn’t be complete without a number of handy products and culinary essentials.
 
So here is all of the equipment we love—from wire whisks and silicone spatulas to pressure cookers and easy-to-use electronics. This is the stuff you see in any given ChefSteps video, the items we use at home, the tools we would give our best friends. If you’ve ever wondered what pan Grant is using to sear that steak, this is the place for you.
