Essential Kitchen Tools
Whether stocking your kitchen from scratch or paring down to the basics, here are the tools and equipment we recommend.
Chef’s Knife
The chef’s knife (along with a cutting board) is the workhorse of the Cooking Light Test Kitchens. It’s ideal for chopping herbs, onions, garlic, fruits, and vegetables and for cutting boneless meats (it even cuts through small bones, such as those of chicken and fish), slicing and dicing, and general cutting tasks.
