From someone who worked for a cooking/food company and built up a collection of some really good kitchen tools/ flatware/etc! I believe in buying quality pieces once vs. spending more over time.
One of my favorite pans! A really quality cast iron, but coated in colored enamel. Dishwasher safe + doesn't rust :) Really great for gifting and if I could only have one piece of cookware- it'd definitely be from Staub
Staub Cast Iron 12-inch Fry Pan - Basil
The best salt for finishing certain dishes! I love to do a lil sprinkle on egg toast :)
Maldon Sea Salt Flakes 20oz Resealable
I've had these for a year now & love them! I have them hanging in the kitchen partially to function as decor.
Folkulture Mini Oven Mitts Heat Resistant Set of 2
My favorite for bowls & plates :) I like to mix & match colors as well.
East Fork Brooklyn
I don't love having a branded hard plastic bottle on my countertop, so I use this refillable squeeze one & I purchase dish soap in bulk. Saves $$ in the long run and I like the look more.
Silicone Dishwashing Soap Dispenser - Light Gray
Looks fab in the kitchen & can last forever if you take care of it. Makes a great backdrop if you're into taking content of your food as well.
John Boos R-Board Maple Cutting Board 24x18
Not something you think you need, until a recipe randomly calls for it. Great for citrus, chocolate, garlic, ginger and hard cheeses!
OXO Good Grips Etched Zester and Grater Green
Everyone needs a good serrated knife- AKA a bread knife. Perf for cutting loaves & juicy tomatoes. Be careful- she's sharp!
Bloomhouse 8" German Steel Bread Knife Olive Wood Handle
I end up using parchment paper at least 1x/weekly. Makes cleanups easier & the precut pieces are such a tiny time saver.
Pre-Cut Kraft Parchment Paper Baking Sheets
Not just for fish! Great for flipping and serving fish, pancakes, cookies, and even omelets without breaking them.
New Star 43068 Wood Handle Fish Spatula 6.5"
These get used in my house daily & are nice & flexible. Great for scraping bowls, mixing, and folding ingredients. It's particularly useful for getting the last bits of food out of containers and for flipping items like eggs.
Use these daily for marinating, batters + all kinds of prep. Love the nesting feature & that I just have bowls that all match.
Stackable Bowl 10-Piece Set, Glass, 1, Clear
Mis en place! So useful for pre-measuring & prepping.
8 Pack 3.2in Stainless Steel Sauce Dishes
Gets le job done! Not scary like those other peelers where the blades move. Affordable & this 3 pack lets you ask for some assistance so you're not stuck peeling potatoes alone :)
Original Vegetable Peeler 3-Pack Red/Green/Yellow
Wide mouth > tapered for me! I use these daily whether it be for drinks, prep work, storing sauces/ jams, etc. Every kitchen needs some good jars :)
Ball 16oz Wide Mouth Mason Jars 12 Pack
My favorite cutting board! Grippy corners so it doesn't slide. They're BPA-free & made from recycled kitchen scraps and renewable sugarcane.
The (grippy) reBoard®
The perfect way to store your go-to chef's knives! A fun way to display your faves & have them within reach. Also- looks like fab home decor!
