6 InStyle Editors Reveal the Kitchen Gadget They Can’t Live Without

We at InStyle love a good gadget—especially one that can save you time (and your sanity) in the kitchen. Below, six insanely useful tools that our cooking-savvy editors depend on the most when they’re slicing a vegetable, pouring a glass of wine, or whipping up an impromptu meal for their kids.

WILLIAMS-SONOMA LEMON PRESS

“When my husband moved into my house, he came with a handful of kitchen gadgets including this lemon press. I thought it was a waste of space and tried to ditch it early on, but I now realize that it’s a total game-changer when it comes to juicing, making salad dressings, and mixing up cocktails—all of which are done regularly at our house. I especially love that it catches the seeds, which a fork or a simple reamer can’t do.” 

—Anne Vorrasi, Lifestyle Editor

Microplane 38004 Professional Series Fine Grater

“I use it for lemons, limes, ginger, and we even use it to make super tasty nachos with a thin layer of finely ground cheddar.”

—Rina Stone, Creative Director

Microplane, $17; amazon.com

PADERNO SPIRALIZER

“I bought this 1.) because I try not to eat gluten or tons of carbs and 2.) it is a very interactive and engaging gadget for kids. My daughter loves cranking out the zucchini noodles (“zoodles”) and can barely tell the difference in taste from real pasta. I use this at least 2-3 times per week on everything from beets and summer squash to carrots and kohlrabi.”

Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ Compact System 6-Speed Blender

“I’d be lost without my Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ. I have a teeny-tiny kitchen, so having one single device that blends, chops, and purees—and does it well—is huge.” 

—Sydney Mondry, InStyle.com Lifestyle Writer

Coravin Model 2 Elite Wine System

“This genius device has forever changed the way I drink wine. It lets you pour a glass without ever opening the bottle—just pierce the needle through the cork, pressurize, and pour. When you remove the needle, the cork magically reseals itself. A bottle can last for months and never go bad!”

—Claire Stern, Associate Editor

KYOCERA CERAMIC SLICING KNIFE

“This ceramic knife is life-changing. It cuts through everything (especially tomatoes) effortlessly. I use it on anything now—it is so effective and easy to handle, especially this smaller size style.” 

—Joanna Bober, Lifestyle Director

Kyocera, $40; amazon.com
