Star chefs share their favorite kitchen essentials to add into your arsenal at home.
An all-around favorite of the chefs we surveyed, the microplane might just be the the one must-have for anyone looking to up their game in the kitchen. Hannah and Marian Cheng, co-owners of Mimi Cheng's, enjoy the super-fine texture created by the grater: "It’s perfect for creating light and airy clouds of cheese for salads, soups, and pastas. The consistency of the finely grated cheese makes it easier to meld into the dish.
Angie Rito, chef and owner of Don Angie in the West Village agrees: "I’m a huge fan of Microplane graters. I love their versatility. They can be used to zest fresh citrus or finely grate cheese, or they can even be used to grate things like fresh garlic, horseradish or jalapeño very finely so that the ingredients basically melt into sauces and dressings."Tasting spoons are the best-kept secret to bettering your culinary creations...
To chef Carolina Santos-Neves of the West Village's American Bar, the value of a set of tasting spoons is simply unmatched: “It’s simple and perhaps even an obvious answer, but the importance of a Tasting Spoon makes this my kitchen tool of choice—especially when you’re trying to maintain consistency in the food you’re creating. When do I use it? For sauces! To me, sauces make up so much of a dish.
According to chef Barbara Lynch, the founder of Boston's Barbara Lynch Collective of restaurants, a handy pasta attachment is a game-changer for home cooks: “I can’t live without a KitchenAid Mixer with the pasta attachment! While I do love hand-rolling pasta, the KitchenAid with the pasta attachment is the most efficient, consistent way to make pasta dough. It’s reliable and can get the pasta dough exactly how I like it—so thin that you can see through it...
Chef Sarah Thompson, formerly of New York City’s Cosme and the incoming executive chef of Elio Las Vegas, swears by sets of Yakumi pans for keeping her kitchens organized and in top shape: “My number one kitchen essential is a Yakumi pan. These pans are small storage containers with removable compartments and they keep all my prep and ingredients organized. They are especially great for keeping smaller amounts of ingredients easily accessible. We use them all over our kitchen.
