Star rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars with over 15,000 reviews

Recommended by Pookie: “After binge-watching every season of the Great British Baking Show, I decided to spring for a kitchen scale not just for baking ingredients but for general cooking use as well. It’s been even handier than I expected. This particular scale is light but tough, small but hardworking, easy to operate and to switch from imperial to metric measurements (when I’m using a British or Australian recipe), and to tare. It’s saved me washing countless measuring cups because I tare a bowl or cup I’m using anyway, then measure the ingredient in it. I use it to control portion sizes as well. For such an inexpensive tool, it’s really become indispensable in our kitchen.”

2. An essential knife sharpener for keeping knives in tip top shape.

Food preparation can be very tedious. To ensure precision cutting and chopping every time, make sure your mom’s knives are kept sharp.

Star rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars

Recommended by Gracie: “Have an old electric knife sharpener. It a bugger to haul out, connect it and wear down my knives to sharpen them. Then I had to store it again. I took this out of the box, held it on the edge of the counter and gave my knives a few quick strokes and had very sharp knives. No muss no fuss. Keep it out on my shelf and use it in seconds to get that edge I like.”

Star rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars

Recommended by A. Kwong: “This thing is awesome! I just got into cooking sous vide and figured I would purchase a vacuum sealer since so many vegetable recipes ask to vacuum seal. I used the NutriChef vacuum sealer for the first time today for cauliflower and broccoli and it worked fantastically. At this price point ($60), nothing beats the NutriChef in terms of reviews and features. It’s great that it comes with a starter kit of cut bags and a plastic roll! Everything you need to start vacuum sealing is right in the box.”

Star rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Recommended by Donna K.: “Amazing pan! It’s very large, leaving lots of room for mixing up pots of soup, stew, and pasta dishes. I cook a lot and have been searching for a pot like this for ages. Nothing sticks to it, it heats evenly, and it’s a good weight (so as not to be too heavy when it’s full and I need to strain pasta). This pot is also not made in China – mine says ‘Toledo, Ohio’ on the bottom.”

I typically refrain from using salt in my diet, but these are terrific, add essential minerals and, because of the intensity of the flavor, can be used sparingly.”

Recommended by Pamela: “Best text about cooking I’ve ever read. It’s both logical and fun so the lessons will stick. I’d call it perfectly balanced, like a great meal. After reading the first several pages, I went poking around, only to discover that I was invited back to the beginning (XO). You see, the book is about the “journey, not the destination.” It’s clever, witty, helpful, intuitive, and altogether a pleasure to read.”
