We all play favorites in the kitchen—favorite chicken recipe, favorite brand of salt, favorite rice-washing method. There's the pan you reach for each morning because you know it'll heat evenly for a perfect omelet, the coffee machine that can brew a pot in the exact amount of time it takes you to unload the dishwasher, the mug that fits in your hand like it was made for you. The best kitchen equipment easily integrates into your routine. It doesn't just make the food you cook better (although, of course, it does do that); it makes your experience in the kitchen seamless, stress-free, joyful, even.
At BA, we roll up our sleeves and turn up the heat in order to see which tools could become new favorites. And with our inaugural Gear of the Year Awards, we're celebrating the products that wowed us.
Over 200 items were nominated for consideration by brands and BA staffers, and 35 made the cut. We guarantee there's something on this list that will improve the way you cook.
