Y-Me Manual Juicer Citrus Lemon Squeezer

James Beard Award-winning chef Iliana de la Vega has had this handheld citrus squeezer for over 25 years and claims it “still looks and works like new.” It has over 8,000 perfect ratings at Amazon, with shoppers calling it the best juicer they’ve ever used. It’s “a must for fresh citrus juice,” Chef de la Vega said.

Allwin-Houseware W Silicone Spatulas, Set of 3

Silicone spatulas are a kitchen staple, and this 3-piece set is just over $1 each. “In Mexico, these are called miserables because they scrape every last bit from bowls, pans, or pots — indispensable for cooking and baking,” said Chef de la Vega. The Allwin-Houseware spatula set comes in 14 different colors, so there’s a set to match any kitchen.

Kimteny Microfiber Dishcloths, Set of 5

Another thing every kitchen needs? “Super absorbent, nonstick, and fast-drying dishcloths,” according to Chef de la Vega. They’re an eco-friendly, money-saving alternative to paper towels, and her top pick comes in four colors. Grab a 5-pack of these dish towels for less than $2 apiece.

Ms Wgo Stainless Steel Bench Scraper

Aaron Anderson, owner of Philadelphia’s Sunrise Social, swears by this bench scraper for clearing work stations, portioning out dough, and even cutting pizza. It’s a popular pick, with over 30,000 5-star ratings and more than 4,000 purchased in the last month.

Yacumama Digital Instant-Read Thermometer

“This compact meat thermometer helps me hit target temps fast, every single time,” Anderson said. It’s waterproof, easy to clean, and with its 2- to 3-second reading time, it offers a great way to prevent dreaded holiday cooking mishaps.

ChefAide Silicone Spatulas, Set of 5

Chef Anderson uses these silicone spatulas daily to whip up sauces, scoop the last bit of mustard from the bottom of the jar, and plate food in tight spaces. Over 20,000 shoppers purchased them in the past month, and now that they’re just over $1 apiece, it’s a great time to snag a set for yourself. You can even keep your favorite and give the rest away as stocking stuffers or secret Santa gifts.

Winco Fish Spatula

“Fish spatulas are incredibly versatile kitchen tools and are useful way beyond just cooking fish,” said Andy Bruch, chef and owner of Point Easy in Denver. This one from Winco has a comfortable handle, and at just $10, it’s a great value pick. “Once this is in your utensil collection, you’ll find yourself reaching for it more and more.”

Winco Coiled Spring Heavyweight Stainless Steel Utility Tong

“Commercial-grade tongs are spring-loaded, so they’re always open and ready to use,” noted Robert Dumas of the Institute for Adventure Hospitality and Food at Paul Smith’s College in Brighton, New York. Since kitchen tongs are made entirely from stainless steel, they’re non-toxic, easy to clean, and can “pick up slippery things.”

Nordic Ware Naturals Eighth Sheet

According to Dumas, one-eighth pans are also essential for staying organized in the kitchen, helping home cooks practice mise en place like expert chefs. He uses eighth- and quarter-sheet pans to hold prepped ingredients, toast nuts or spices, and season or rest proteins before plating.

Paracity Mini French Press Coffee Maker

James Beard award-winner Nina Compton of Compere Lapin recommends snagging a high-quality French press. “For the holidays, a French press always impresses your guests and gives a rich, robust flavor unlike regular brewed coffee,” she said. This mini one makes a single cup and is easy to clean, according to shoppers.
