With all the gadgets, tools, and utensils on offer for the kitchen today, it can be difficult to decide which ones you really need.
That’s why we’ve compiled a list of five must-have kitchen tools that will make you a better home cook, guaranteed!
1. A Whetstone
Expert chefs know that pushing and grinding with too much force on a dull knife can end with a trip to the emergency room.
Besides, using a blunt blade can really waste time during food prep and make your slices look unprofessional and untidy. Using a whetstone to sharpen your knives is the obvious choice because it gives you full control over how the edge of your knife comes out.
Whetstones are an inexpensive, low-maintenance way of getting your knives pro-kitchen sharp.
2. A Microplane Zester
Many pro chefs just can’t live without a Microplane zester. You can use it to zest all sorts of citrus fruits for pasta, baking recipes, dressings, desserts, and much more.
A Microplane zester is perfect for when you need finely grated ginger or garlic for a curry or a sauce, or if you want to finish a dish off with a fine sprinkle of Parmesan cheese (yum!).
Microplane zesters are a must-have for any aspiring chef because they are easy to clean (they are dishwasher-friendly) and anything you grate with them comes out really fine
