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. 01 of 06 WILLIAMS-SONOMA LEMON PRESS Courtesy “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 Williams-Sonoma, $13; williams-sonoma.com 02 of 06 Microplane 38004 Professional Series Fine Grater Courtesy “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 03 of 06 PADERNO SPIRALIZER Courtesy “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.” —Amy Synnott, Executive Editor Paderno, $50; williams-sonoma.com 04 of 06 Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ Compact System 6-Speed Blender Courtesy “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 Nutri Ninja, $160; bestbuy.com 05 of 06 Coravin Model 2 Elite Wine System Courtesy “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 Coravin, $350; surlatable.com 06 of 06 KYOCERA CERAMIC SLICING KNIFE Courtesy “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
