Amanda’s Kitchen & Home Essentials

You could say our co-founder Amanda Hesser plays favorites when it comes to kitchen tools. She’s relied on them through her many years of recipe testing and tasting. And you’re looking at her top ten picks here, with a few home-team gems sprinkled in: There are essentials for meal prep, like her go-to pepper grinder and Staub’s multi-use braiser (sporting a Shop-exclusive sesame shade). And for the table? Get a load of the platter, with a pattern that's made with real lace -- she loves this one for serving salads.
