A Serving Platter You pour so much energy into making your food, so make it look as good as it tastes.   A Cast Iron Pan Every home should have at least one cast iron pan. They're affordable, durable, and great for a wide range of applications. A Great Chef's Knife Not all good knives need to be super expensive. There are plenty that will help you slice and dice like a pro that are also extremely affordable, like this one from Mercer Culinary.   Tomato Concentrate from Italy It'll amp up any pasta dish with rich, punchy umami flavor. A little bit goes a long way to making every meal just a little more special. Hazelnut Oil A few drops of hazelnut oil will bring an extra-rich, nutty flavor to homemade Nutella and any other delicious dessert.     Extra-Long Tweezers Tweezers are incredibly useful, whether you're twirling pasta, flipping meat, or even getting a bit of eggshell out of a bowl of batter.      Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.

It's yours, too.   The Thermapen There are a lot of reasons for keeping an instant-read thermometer in the kitchen. When it comes to speed and precision, the Thermapen trumps all others. Joyce Chen Wok This year Sho wrote a story about everything you can do with a wok. That paired with Kenji's guide to buying and seasoning a wok resulted in a tidal wave of orders.   Poultry Shears Poultry shear popularity explodes over the holiday season. That's likely because you all have realized that spatchcocking your holiday turkey is the absolute best way to achieve a juicy bird. 14-Inch Skewers​ While we have a few recs for the best skewers, our top-pick for longevity is the flat skewers by Norpro. These guys are easy to maneuver and the flat surface will keep your food from sliding around.    Flexible Fish Turner This thin, flexible spatula is ideal for getting under and flipping delicate ingredients like fish or pancakes. It can also easily handle flipping a half-pound burger, too.   What do you want to see on Serious Eats in 2020? Take our brief survey to share your thoughts.
