Corer from OXO
$11.99 \ oxo.com
“I have always loved a simple apple corer that cores in one smooth motion—it’s so quick and easy. I recommend OXO for home use. —Ralph Bello, chef at Primo Waterfront in Newburgh
Pepper Cannon
from Mannkitchen
$199.99 \ mannkitchen.com
If you make as much Cacio e Pepe as I do, this is a must. It’s extremely well made, compact, high output, and has a clean and smooth mechanism that’s easy to fill. Consistent and even grind over thousands of turns.
—Tony Scotto
Meat Mallet from OXO
$11.99–20.99 \ oxo.com
Every cook needs a mallet for tenderizing meat, but I also like to put nuts or breadcrumbs in a Ziploc bag and use the mallet to crush things. It can be better than using a food processor, which grinds very fine. Smashing in a bag retains some texture. —Ralph Bello
1-Liter Micom Rice Cooker
from Zojirushi
$184.49 \ zojirushi.com
Making perfect rice is simple with this rice cooker—which is the Cadillac of rice cookers. Go ahead and treat yourself because your rice game will never be the same!
–Dale Talde, chef at Goosefeather in Tarrytown
Japanese Ganji Kankiri (Can Opener)
$8.50+ \ amazon.com or korin.com
Everyone should have an excellent can opener: A Japanese ganji kankiri is virtually indestructible, easy to use, and also opens beer bottles!
—Dan Silverman
Precision Peeler
from Milk Street
$29.95 \ 177milkstreet.com
Being caterers we often peel 50-60 pounds of potatoes or carrots at a time and this peeler is the style and shape that I love. It’s extremely sharp and comes with a replacement blade . –Agnes Devereux, chef/owner of Agnes Devereux Catering in Staatsburg
