Cooking Essentials

• Microplane

  • This tool yields the perfect grated cheese, lemon zest, etc. perfect for plating dishes.

• Juicer

  • I love to juice citrus in batches and keep it in the fridge for easy use.

• Garlic Press

  • The garlic press makes it easy to add fresh garlic to any dish without the hassle of cutting or dicing. It can be so tempting to use garlic powder instead of fresh, but this tool makes it so simple— you will find it really enhances the flavor of your food.

• Meat Thermometer

  • Thermometers make cooking poultry, fish & meat way less intimidating. Highly recommend.

• Heavy Bottomed Pot

  • Has there ever been a kitchen essentials post that didn’t include a Le Creuset dutch oven? It is perfect for LITERALLY EVERYTHING from bread to chicken. Here’s a more accessible option people are loving.
