| | | Founder & CEO Amanda Hesser's Favorite Kitchen Tools | | | | | | | | With the holidays around the corner, we asked Amanda for the inside scoop on her kitchen heavy-hitters. Straight ahead, all of the essentials she recommends to family and friends (that's you!). | | | | | | | | |  | This pan is so much more than a braiser! It's an all-around pinch hitter—I've used it for making frittatas, roasting chicken & potatoes, blanching asparagus, cooking pancakes, you name it. |  | | | | | | | | | | | | I love my corner-getter because it's one of the few cooking spoons that's got a version for us lefties. Plus, the pointed tip helps scoop up everything from a piece of bacon, to a stray peppercorn. The spatula's smaller-than-usual head is good for more agile tasks and for scraping & flipping. | | | | | | | | | | Ortwo Hand-Held Pepper Grinder | | | | | | | Calling all the multitaskers out there! This one's for you. I love this peppermill because I can keep a hand free for another single-handed task. You need all the time you can get when cooking for the holidays, after all. | | | | | | | | | | Heavyweight Gold Measuring Cups & Spoons Set | | | | | | | These hefty measuring cups are my go-tos. They've got a sturdy build so they never wobble—you can scoop and measure with confidence. | | | | | | | | | | Food52 x Farmhouse Pottery Double Oven Mitt Apron | | | | | | | Merrill Stubbs introduced me to this double oven mitt—I love the design and functionality of it. It makes pulling something out of the oven (turkey, anyone?) swift and seamless. | | | | | | | | | | | 60 of Our Favorite Thanksgiving Vegetable Side Dishes | | Read More > | | |  | | | | 18 Turkey Recipes to Gobble up on Thanksgiving | | Read More > | | |  | | | | Where to Donate Your Thanksgiving Leftovers | | Read More > | | | | | | |
