Most kitchen gadgets are junk. These are the ones worth your money.
A digital scale. Measuring cups are inaccurate. A scale gives you exact measurements every time. It also means fewer dishes. Weigh ingredients directly into the bowl.
An instant read thermometer. $20 and it stops serving overcooked chicken forever. 165 for chicken, 145 for beef, 135 for medium steak. No more guessing.
A microplane. Grates garlic, ginger, Parmesan, and citrus zest. It does things a regular grater cannot. It costs $15.
A fish spatula. Despite the name, it is the best all purpose spatula. Thin, flexible, angled. Great for flipping eggs, cookies, and yes, fish.
A bench scraper. Transfers chopped vegetables from cutting board to pan in one motion. Also cleans your board. Also cuts dough. Indispensable.
What not to buy? Avocado slicers, garlic presses, egg cookers, and anything that does one specific thing. Those end up in a drawer.
