the kitchen gear Kenji López-Alt sells on his own site
not a listicle, this is literally what's on his shop page. mostly stuff you'd actually use, not gadgets.
01
Boos Cutting Board
the reversible one, flip it when one side gets too scarred up
02
Lodge Cast Iron Skillet (12-inch)
pre-seasoned, basically indestructible
03
Le Creuset Dutch Oven (5.5 qt)
04
OXO Bench Scraper
has a ruler built into the blade, i use it more than half my knives tbh
05
OXO Digital Scale
06
Benriner Mandoline
comes with a guard. use the guard. i have a scar from before i learned that
07
Kuhn Rikon Swiss Peeler
08
Spider Strainer
pulls stuff out of hot oil or water without dumping the whole pot
09
Masienda Molcajete
10
Shibazi Chinese Cleaver
not a chef's knife swap, it's for what a knife is bad at: smashing garlic, scooping stuff off the board. flat side works as a mini board too
11
Whirly Pop Popcorn Maker
12
Unicorn Magnum Peppermill
it's the ceramic grinder for sale, not actual pepper. lasts forever
13
Breville Control Freak Induction Stovetop
biggest splurge on this list but it's a real tool, not a toy, holds an exact temp
14
Iwatani Portable Butane Stove
for wok cooking outside so the smoke alarm doesn't go off
