Pebble Premium Whetstone Knife Sharpener

The Pebble Premium whetstone is a double-sided sharpening stone with a coarse side and a fine side on the same stone. This stone is 1,000 grit on the coarser side, and 6,000 on the finer side—perfect for sharpening and polishing a dull knife, but you’ll want something coarser (indicated by a number below 1,000) if you need to reshape the edge of a seriously dull knife. If the sharpening process is something you enjoy, this might be the way to go. You can sharpen any knife to the exact angle you want—a tool called a bevel gauge (sold at hardware stores) can help you find the angle—and you get the most control of any option here. The stone needs a 10- to 12-minute soak before you work, so it’s best to sharpen all your knives at once. It put an edge on both of the knives our tester used to evaluate the sharpeners, which none of the electric or manual sharpeners could match.

Chef's Choice 4643 Knife Sharpener

The Chef’s Choice 4643 knife sharpener looks like the analog version of the brand’s electric sharpener, but it works a bit differently. It has two basic sharpening settings, one for sharpening knives to 15 degrees and another to 20. A third stage polishes the edge of any knife no matter which sharpening angle you choose. Like the brand’s electric sharpener, the 4643 feels well designed, with grooves that hold the knife at the perfect angle as you slowly draw it through.

Chef’s Choice Model 15XV Knife Sharpener

The Chef’s Choice Model 15XV is second to none when it comes to easy, complete sharpening. It removes most of the guesswork and helps you maintain a perfect angle, and it can sharpen pretty much any knife you’ll ever own—even serrated bread knives or sushi and sashimi knives, which are sharpened on only one side.

The tool is designed to sharpen every straight-edged knife to a precise 15-degree angle, which is a sweet spot for most new knives. It features three settings: sharpening, honing, and polishing. There’s no setup, no cleanup, and no stress.

Super Benriner Mandoline

The Benriner is pretty intuitive to use straight out of the box. It’s large enough to slice an onion but not an Italian eggplant. It comes with three blades that shred, julienne, or thread-cut vegetables. The plastic feels sturdy and strong, unlike many of the other models we tried. And the blades are replaceable—whether you lose them or they become dull with use—and sold separately for about $10 each. Our evaluators found that the blade had a hard time with soft foods, and the julienne blades can’t handle harder veggies like carrots or sweet potatoes. But the whole contraption comes apart for easy cleaning.

Dash Safe Slice Mandoline

If “safety first” is your motto, this stand-up mandoline from Dash can’t be beat. Its safety features are great for people who fear traditional mandolines or have mobility issues. Unlike other mandolines where the blade is stationary and exposed, this mandoline has an internal guillotine that slices your food, not your fingers.

Chef'n FreshForce Citrus Juicer

One of CR’s cooking enthusiasts tried out popular citrus juicers at home to learn more about the pros and cons of each one. This squeezer model from Chef’n was given the distinction of Editor’s Choice because it’s easy to use and works well with little to no splatter. The handle provides a comfortable, sturdy grip, and the juicer is designed to sit flat on the counter without tipping over for less mess. Its deep-ridged well cleverly holds fruit in place when squeezed but also lets it seamlessly slide out when the task is done. The only drawback? That well is just a bit tricky to hand-wash.

Zulay Kitchen Lemon Squeezer Stainless Steel

In evaluating the best manual citrus squeezers, this stainless steel Zulay Kitchen lemon squeezer proved to be particularly easier to use with more ripe lemons, and little pulp made it into the cup. Its sleek design makes it ideal for storing in compact drawers, and it’s dishwasher-safe.

Zulay 2-in-1 Lemon Lime Squeezer

The Zulay 2-in-1 squeezer is meant to serve as a versatile device that can work with lemons and limes. In our at-home evaluations of the best citrus squeezers, we found that this model was somewhat easy to use, though it still required a bit of effort and wasn’t as mess-free as other devices. That said, the double flaps make this one conducive to squeezing citrus of varying sizes.

Greater Goods Digital Food Kitchen Scale

A digital kitchen scale can be a true workhorse of a kitchen. It’s also especially important for baking, which often requires precision when measuring ingredients. Jesse Szewczyk, a food stylist and cookbook author, uses this Greater Goods digital kitchen scale almost every day. “A standard cup of flour can be wildly inconsistent depending on how you fill the measuring cup (scooping into a bag vs. spooning it in), but by weighing your flour, you remove the inconsistency factor and ensure your baked goods come out perfect every time,” Szewczyk says.

Yummly Smart Thermometer

With the Yummly smart thermometer, setup is easy, and there’s an especially robust listing of meats, along with recommended internal temperatures. Its “expert” mode provides a countdown, in minutes, along with a real-time graph. The Yummly also includes a tool for safely removing the probe from food without burning your fingers, a nice touch.

ThermoPro Smart BT Meat Thermometer TP920

The ThermaPro features refreshingly simple-to-read results—making it a great pick for reasonably confident cooks who merely want the ability to check on food from afar. This smart meat thermometer is not truly wireless. Instead, two wired probes dock in a rechargeable base station. The base station then uses Bluetooth to transmit real-time cooking information to a paired smartphone.

INKBIRD IBT-4XS BT Grill Meat Thermometer

The InkBird IBT-4DXS BT is the highest-rated digital meat thermometer CR tests. It offers app connectivity with estimated cook times, four separate probes, built-in alarms, and the ability to charge the device while actively monitoring temperatures. InkBird boasts decent range in outdoor environments, up to 150 feet.

Aerolatte To-Go Milk Frother

The Aerolatte To-Go is one of the most popular frothers on the market, and it’s a breeze to clean. The fact that it can easily fit in a kitchen drawer is also a big plus. In trying out this model at home, CR editor Daniel Wroclawski found that even though there was a bit of a learning curve to using the handheld device, once he had the hang of it, the cordless design of the frother made it easy to move around the cup or glass and froth the remaining liquid milk.

Instant Milk Frother

When you think of the brand Instant Pot, its line of multicookers usually comes to mind, but the company has branched out into coffee makers and frothers. Its budget-friendly Instant Milk Frother was one of the best models in our at-home review, offering performance almost on a par with the Nespresso Aeroccino4 milk frother, which costs more than twice as much. The only downside is that the Instant Milk Frother isn’t dishwasher-safe, because its controls are built into the side of the carafe. Cleaning is still a breeze, though—you just need to hand-wash it with a wet cloth.

Gorilla Grip Original Cutting Board, Set of 3

If you’re in the market for a new set of cutting boards, this set of three could be the answer. Not only is it a good price for three boards (small, medium, and large) but it’s also one of our tester’s favorites. They were among the most stable on the evaluator’s wood counters and rarely slipped while he was prepping.

Carrollar Flexible Plastic Cutting Board Mats, Set of 4

It’s pretty tough to take issue with a four-pack of cutting boards that go for less than $10. They’re incredibly thin, light, and a favorite for CR’s resident chef Paul Hope for items like parsley, cilantro, and garlic—when you’re done chopping, you can fold the board slightly to transfer your prepped produce right into a dish or pan. The Carrollar cutting boards are easy to store and stack, and pleasant enough to cut on. They’re dishwasher-safe and easy to hand-wash, and they didn’t stain, even when grenadine and tomato sauce sat overnight.

Teakhaus Traditional Edge Grain Professional Cutting Board

This TeakHaus cutting board is both beautiful and substantial, which makes it feel more like a centerpiece on your countertop. It’s a solid serving piece, too, a perfect board for bread at a big gathering or a cheese or charcuterie platter. The board is blissful to cut on. In addition to rooting firmly on a counter, it provides the perfect amount of feedback as you cut. It’s also worth noting that it still looks pretty good after a decent amount of prep.

Doqaus Ice Cube Trays

These ice cube trays from Doqaus have plastic frames with silicone bases to make for easier cube removal. We found that the silicone bases make it a cinch to pop out the rectangular cubes with rounded corners, and there were no stray ice shards—or breakage—when we tried it ourselves. If you’re sensitive to taste, note that the tray imparts some flavor, but it’s marginal—and if placed in a flavorful beverage, you’re not likely to notice.

Uujoly Refillable Spray Bottle

Downsizing your range of cleaning supplies can make a difference in a cramped cabinet. Stick with the essentials and get rid of anything duplicative or expired. Merrilee Reynolds, founder of Mode, a professional decluttering and home organization service, suggests going for one or two spray bottles with a good multisurface cleaner, a glass cleaner, and some sponges. The professional organizer also recommends stocking up on concentrated pods or tablets, which can be dropped into a spray bottle and filled with water.

Omac Under the Sink Trimmable Cabinet Liner

Before you put anything under your sink, consider the fact that leaky pipes are a high probability, says professional organizer Michele Schwarzwalder. “Nothing will ruin a good organization system like a warped, uneven cabinet base.” To protect yours, Schwarzwalder recommends these waterproof mats, which can be cut to fit just about any space.

Henckels Premio 8” Chef’s Knife

Henckels has been making knives in Germany for almost 300 years, and its expertise in design is on full display with this knife. The Premio was the Goldilocks of the eight knives we tested, and in the end it was the only one with a positive review from all four of our panelists. The handle is contoured, with no sharp edges, resulting in a knife that’s extremely comfortable to hold. One user said their hand became clammy during use, but the knife was well received overall. It also excelled at force transmission from handle to blade, which means you don’t need to exert as much effort when cutting.

Global Classic 8” Chef’s Knife

In our tests, the Global Classic 8” Chef’s Knife delivered on both of those fronts, but there was a clear dividing line. Users who favor a pinch grip loved the knife and found it to be exceptionally well-balanced. Those who grip the knife handle with all five fingers, however, found it slightly less comfortable. Our experts also said people with large hands might find the handle to be slightly on the small side. Force transmission was excellent, and to the surprise of our panelists, the knife resisted slipping when used with wet hands, probably because the metal handle is designed with dozens of concave dimples to absorb excess moisture.

Mercer Culinary M23510 Renaissance, 8-Inch Chef's Knife

The Mercer Culinary Renaissance 8” chef knife has a full-tang blade and triple-riveted handle. The Mercer scored moderately well for comfort overall, but it’s a better fit for those who use a pinch grip with two fingers on the top of the blade. Force transmission was good, likely helped in part by its full-tang construction, which means the blade is a single piece of metal, extending all the way through the end of the handle.

Schmidt Bros. Zebra Wood 4-Piece Jumbo Steak Knife Set

These oversized knives come in a boxed set and feature gorgeous zebrawood handles and sharp blades. They’d look right at home on the set of “The Revenant,” or on an actual battlefield, for that matter, but they’ll also make a stellar addition to a table setting befitting a giant slab of beef. The edge is wicked sharp, with micro serrations near the tip of the blade.

Zwilling 8-Piece Stainless Steel Steak Knife Set

If you’re shopping for steak knives as a wedding or housewarming gift, look no further. This Zwilling set has a polished finish and a wooden case, too. The metal handles make them quite a bit heavier than you’d expect, but that weight is appreciated as it helps make cutting easier, without distorting the balance of the knife. While these knives are beautiful, they’re not the sharpest of the bunch—the tiny serrations on the blade make them best suited for more tender cuts, such as filet mignon, as opposed to tougher foods, like a lamb shoulder chop. On a table, they blend right in with other cutlery, and of all the options we’ve tried out, they look the least like a steak knife and more like a finely sharpened butter knife.

Home Hero Steak Knives Set of 8

The Home Hero steak knives seem to work on the same principle as the jaw of a coyote. They’ll definitely separate meat from a bone, but it ain’t gonna be pretty. The knives have jagged, triangular teeth, almost like those on a handsaw. The result is a knife that can certainly cut, but it takes a bit of effort. They can easily tear up food, but they struggle to produce delicate slices.

YouCopia Crazy Susan Turntable With 3 Removable Bins

This rotating turntable (with removable compartments, no less) can also be a big help when decluttering a pantry. Aline Lau, a declutter consultant and founder of Tokimekie, recommends lazy Susans for organizing snacks, baking supplies, spices, and various bottled condiments like oils and vinegar. This approach saves space and makes items easier to find and more accessible when cooking, Lau says.

mDesign Plastic Portable Shower Caddy

Bring the order back to your under-sink cabinet. According to Merrilee Reynolds, founder of Mode, a professional decluttering and home organization service, shower caddies can be practical for under-sink cabinet storage. The expert recommends using one to store cleaning supplies, for easier accessibility. Caddies are also a great way to keep chemical-based products separate from personal items, especially when used in the bathroom.

YouCopia SpiceStack Spice Rack Organizer

Certified professional organizer Schae Lewis of Mission 2 Organize considers this adjustable YouCopia version the perfect solution for storing herbs and spices. It can be used inside a cabinet, on a shelf, or on a countertop. And “its durable design allows for spices to be easily accessible yet tucked away,” Lewis says. “Label each drawer to know exactly what is inside.”

Chef’s Path Cereal Containers Storage Set

When it comes to pantry staples bought in larger quantities—such as cereal, oats, and rice—stackable canisters or basic jars can help maximize shelf space. This Chef’s Path storage set comes with four 4-liter airtight containers that are primed to keep your dry goods neatly in place and easily accessible.

Copco White Under-Sink Lazy Susan

Merrilee Reynolds, a professional organizer, prefers to use these turntables as a storage solution for the cabinet under the bathroom sink, where tall cans of hairspray, bottles of lotion, and various other supplies would otherwise tend to take up valuable real estate. “By utilizing a lazy Susan,” she says, “these items are condensed but still easily accessible.”

mDesign 2-Tier Lazy Susan Turntable, 9" Round

Organizer Merrilee Reynolds turned to a tiered lazy Susan for her kids’ bathroom to reduce clutter. “Three kids sharing one bathroom became a problem with all of their items on the smallish countertop,” says Reynolds, who bought this version to house toothbrushes, toothpaste, fluoride rinse, and floss. But this turntable isn’t only for the bathroom; you can also use it for storing spices in a pantry or deep cabinet.

Banveno Non-Slip Silicone Liner

For those who prefer to store their herbs and spices in a drawer, Robyn Reynolds of Organize2Harmonize, calls this nonslip silicone liner her absolute favorite. “Not only do they prevent the spices from moving around in the cabinet, but you can use only what you need or want—one row or enough rows to fill the entire drawer.” Simply cut the liner to fit your drawer dimensions for a customized storage solution.

Mulush Bamboo Spice Rack Tray

Have real estate to spare? This tiered option might just be an organizer’s dream. “If drawers are plentiful, this bamboo drawer insert can keep bottled spices orderly without taking up cabinet space,” says Janine Adams of Peace of Mind Organizing, who doesn’t like to see valuable counter space taken up by herbs and spices and prefers to keep them neatly out of sight.

Simplemade Clear Spice Rack

For a minimalist option that can live in a cabinet or out on a countertop, Robyn Reynolds of Organize2Harmonize prefers clear, tiered organizers because they make it easier to see what’s available. Without the height, it can be difficult to look past the front row, Reynolds says, and because it’s made of plastic it’s also easy to clean.

Brother P-Touch Cube

We found the Brother P-Touch Cube to be the best charger-free label maker in our evaluations. The device runs on six AAA batteries, and a quick push of the cutting button makes a clean, precise cut each time. We also found that its high-quality labels should stay well adhered to your spice jars. The corresponding Brother app itself is well organized and intuitive, and saves templates you might want to use again.

Phomemo M110 Label Maker

The Phomemo M110 is the bigger, bulkier version of the Phomemo D30 and offers a bit more flexibility with the size of the label you’re creating. It uses the same app as well, and has a wide variety of fonts, styles, and images, with quick creation and easy label cutting. Its size makes it a bit less portable than the smaller Phomemo, and its alignment wasn’t as precise as other label printers were when it came to cutting the label exactly on the cut line. But it’s still a solid option when it comes to durable, lasting label printers.

Viski Heavyweight Cocktail Shaker

This sophisticated-looking cobbler shaker from Viski is nicely weighted, with thick stainless steel craftsmanship. It holds 17 ounces and has a strong seal that could handle both a regular and a dry shake without leakage. At a little over 1 pound, it’s heavier than the other shakers, but the grip is nice and feels very ergonomic.

BrüMate Shaker Pint

The BrüMate Shaker Pint has a 20-ounce capacity and is part cocktail shaker and part to-go pint glass. It’s a cobbler shaker with three parts—pint glass, strainer, and cap. It’s made of shatter-proof material, and the pint glass is insulated, so your drink stays cool but the exterior doesn’t get cold while shaking. It’s hand-wash only, so it’s a little more high-maintenance than some of the other shakers, but it’s not difficult to clean.

FoodSaver VS3180 Multi-Use

The FoodSaver VS3180 Multi-Use vacuum sealer is almost as good at sealing moist food as sealing dry, and it operates quickly. Its noise scores are so-so, but of the seven vacuum sealers we tested, this model got the highest marks in our ease-of-use test. It latches with a lever, and the controls are easy to understand, though the unsealed buttons may collect debris. There’s handy storage for the bag roll and cord, and it’s a cinch to clean.

Black+Decker Premium BD8173

This vacuum sealer from Black+Decker is a great option. It gets high scores in CR’s lab tests for speed and dry-food sealing, and its performance for wet-food sealing (e.g., marinated foods) is almost as strong. It does get lower-than-average scores for noise, but that’s fairly common for this sort of kitchen tool.

Koolatron 29 Bottle Dual Zone Wine Cooler

The Koolatron 29 Bottle Dual Zone Wine Cooler is the only wine fridge in our ratings with two zones, allowing you to store two types of wines—say, reds and rosés—at their ideal storage temperatures. In addition to its two zones, this Koolatron features a tinted glass door, temperature controls on the front of the unit, and child control locks, but it lacks shelf stops and a door lock. In our lab tests, it offers very good temperature performance and low noise output, but its energy efficiency is mediocre at best.

Antarctic Star 36 Bottle Wine Cooler

The Antarctic Star 36 Bottle Wine Cooler is the best freestanding wine fridge in our ratings by a healthy margin. In our lab tests, it offers very good temperature performance but only decent energy efficiency and middling noise output (meaning it’s somewhat noisier than other tested models). This Antarctic Star fridge features temperature controls on the front of the unit, child control locks, and shelf stops, but it lacks a door lock.

NewAir 23 Bottle Wine Refrigerator

The NewAir 23 Bottle Wine Refrigerator also offers great temperature performance, and it manages to run quieter than the Antarctic (above) based on our noise tests. Its energy efficiency is also acceptable, but it isn’t great. This NewAir features temperature controls on the front of the unit with child control locks, but it lacks shelf stops and a door lock.
