No matter whether you’re a home cook or a professional chef, you’ll need the right tools in order to whip up a delicious meal. Luckily, there are tons of kitchen products on Amazon that’ll make you feel like a professional chef in your own kitchen — and we’ve gathered the best ones for you to check out below. From rotary cheese graters to stainless steel knife sets, every kitchen could use more than a few of these picks.
This rotary cheese grater that comes with 5 interchangeable blades
Cheese, veggies, nuts — this rotary grater is great for all of them and more. Each order comes with five interchangeable blades so that you can grate and shred your ingredients in varying levels of coarseness. And since all the blades are made from stainless steel, there’s no need to worry about them rusting over time.
These stainless steel mixing bowls that come with airtight lids
Unlike the mixing bowls you’ve likely been using, these ones come with airtight lids so that you can use them to store leftovers in addition to whipping up meals. The center of each lid also pops out so that you can insert one of the included grating plates — just in case you need to shred a carrot or block of cheese. Plus, the nonslip bottoms work to keep them from shifting around as you grate and stir.
An herb saver pod that helps keep greens fresher for longer
One of the easiest ways to waste money is letting greens go bad inside your fridge. Enter: this saver pod. Simply fill the base with water, then place your cilantro, basil, parsley, or nearly any other green inside, and it’ll help keep them fresher for longer. The best part? You only need to change the water once every five days for best results.
This colorful knife set with blades made from high-carbon stainless steel
Professional and home chefs alike can appreciate this knife set.

Cooking with dull knives can be oh-so frustrating. Luckily, this sharpener is an easy fix. It’s suitable for use with just about any type of blade, regardless of whether it’s smooth or serrated. You can also adjust it so that it fits blades both large and small — and one reviewer even raved about how it “makes the knife very sharp almost instantly.”
A cut-resistant glove that helps protect you from nicks in the kitchen
My husband frequently nicks himself whenever he tries to cook — but that’s only part of the reason why I’m a fan of this glove. It’s made from ultra-tough material that’s four times stronger than leather, helping keep you safe from nicks, slices, as well as cuts whenever you’re using knives. And unlike some gloves, this one is 100% food-safe.
This baking sheet liner that help keep food from sticking
Few things are as annoying as discovering your food has glued itself to your baking sheet. Enter: this baking sheet liner. It’s made from teflon-coated fiberglass that’s nonstick as well as heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit — so there’s no need to worry about them melting inside your oven. Plus, you can easily wash and reuse it as many times as you like.
A nonstick spatula that’s big enough to flip large pancakes
Flipping a pancake without having it break can take practice — or, you could just grab this spatula. The extra-large head makes it easy to flip big pancakes without breaking them, while the nonstick surface helps keep it from latching onto food. The best part? It’s also heat-resistant up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit.
These bamboo cutting boards with deep juice grooves around the edges
Every chef needs at least a few high-quality cutting boards, so why not take a look at this set?

And unlike plastic cutting boards, these ones are more gentle on knives, making it less likely that they’ll dull quickly over time.
This bottle of mineral oil that helps keep wooden cutting boards in top shape
Wooden cutting boards can split and chip over time — but that’s where this mineral oil comes in handy. Simply wipe your boards with it once every three months, and it’ll help keep them in good working order. And if you’re worried about it transferring onto your food? Not a problem, as it’s completely colorless, odorless, tasteless, as well as gluten-free.

Plus, the included liner is made from soft linen that helps keep your bread from sticking to the basket.
The burger press that helps your patties cook evenly
The trick to ensuring all your burger patties cook at the same rate is to make them the same size — and this press can help.

And since it’s made from cast aluminum, you won’t have to worry about it sticking to meat.
This ceramic waffle maker that won’t latch onto batter
Unlike some waffle makers, this one is made with ceramic cooking plates that won’t latch onto your batter as it cooks.

These stainless steel frying pans made with riveted, stay-cool handles
I’m a huge fan when it comes to these frying pans — and not just because they’re made from rust-resistant stainless steel.
