The Best Pro Cooking Tools for Your Home Kitchen

Designed for functionality, precision, and reliability, these tools are standard in commercial kitchens and will revolutionize how you cook at home. Get the full story here.

Commercial French Food Mill

If you want to invest in a good food mill, get one that's professional-grade, like this JB Prince food mill. It has three different disk-shaped graters that can chew through all sorts of fruits and vegetables with no trouble at all.

Offset Spatula

You'll most often see offset spatulas used for frosting a cake. But they're also perfectly adept at flipping small items in your sauté pan, like scallops or blini. While normal kitchen spatulas are often too large and clumsy to flip these delicate items, an offset spatula gives you control and precision when you need it most.

Kitchen Tweezers

There are many reasons why cooking tweezers are great to have: Use them to lift a perfect pasta twirl, to fish individual capers out of those skinny jars, or to get a rogue bit of eggshell out of a hot pan.

Coil Whisk

This tool, which looks a bit like an oversize milk frother, is ideal for whisking gravy and emulsified pan sauces because the coil lies flat in the pan, while the rounded edges get right into the corners.

Cambro Containers

We've long recommended Cambro containers for sous vide cooking projects. But when you're working in a restaurant and stocking a lot of many different types of ingredients, Cambro containers, along with their lids, can also come in handy for storage. Stock up on some two-, four-, and eight-quart square ones, plus some larger rectangular ones for sous vide recipes.

Carbon Steel Skillet

Carbon steel is much like cast iron in that it gets very hot and stays hot, so it's perfect for searing meats, and, with enough seasoning, it can become nearly nonstick. But carbon steel pans have sloped sides, making them ideal for pulling off that professional toss, and carbon steel is often lighter than cast iron. (Our recommended pan is also 15% off today!)
