Essential cooking tools under $10

Affordable, functional, gift-able. No images? Click here   Essential Kitchen Tools for $10 or Less There are plenty of reasons to love expensive cooking gear—a shiny new high-end blender, stand mixer, or Dutch oven promises a world of fun new kitchen projects and tasty meals—but good cooking certainly doesn't require pricey tools. In fact, some of our most used, versatile, and treasured items cost about as much as a couple of fancy-ish cups of coffee. Read on for our favorite pieces of equipment priced at $10 or less, all of which will make cooking at home a little simpler, more streamlined, and more delicious. Get the whole story –>   A Bench Scraper Use this one to portion your pasta dough, transfer chopped vegetables into a big pot, or give your cutting board a quick clean after you’ve peeled garlic and shallots.   A Vegetable Peeler Y-peelers are the best type of peeler for your kitchen. Their carbon steel blades are super sharp, and they work well for lefties and righties. A Utility Knife Use yours to cut open bags of rice, slice perfectly uniform labels, free cucumbers from their shrink-wrap, and even trim pie dough.   Bar Keepers Friend This affordable cleaning solution is the key to ridding your pans (and your stovetop, and just about any kitchen surface you can imagine) of grime and dark spots left by polymerized oil. A Silicone Turner There are many different kinds of spatulas out there, but if you own and use a nonstick pan, you'll extend its lifespan with a silicone spatula. It won't scrape away the Teflon like its metal counterpart.    A Glass Pie Plate We’ve known for a while that cheaper is better when it comes to pie plates. We recommend sticking with simple tempered glass, which heats more quickly than stone. This helps butter melt faster, for a flaky, golden crust instead of a sad, soggy bottom.  Don't miss our latest buying guides! Wood or Plastic Cutting Boards?
