Every person who has ever cooked a meal has favorite items that they love to use. In fact, some would say that they wouldn’t be able to cook at all without their favorite gadgets, equipment, and tools. Your favorite tools might be as simple as a wooden spoon and a cast-iron skillet. It may be something wild like a sushi bazooka (that’s a real thing!). Not every cook loves the same items for the same reasons, and that’s okay. I just wanted to take some time to share my favorite kitchen equipment with you all. Check this page often because this list is always evolving.
Anova Precision Sous Vide
Sous vide is a method of cooking where the food is placed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and cooked in a water bath for longer than usual cooking times at a precisely regulated temperature. The cooker in the image on the left is the one that I use and love, but there are other options to choose from. Check them out at Anova Culinary.
