Gallery: Kitchen and Bar Gear That'll Make You Want to Stay Home for Dinner
Peden + Munk01skillet
__[Borough Furnace 9-inch Frying Skillet | $280](http://boroughfurnace.com/shop/9-frying-skillet)__ Few cooking instruments are more time-honed than the cast iron skillet. But even this traditional pan can benefit from a modern eye. Industrial designer John Truex applied some Grade-A alterations to this kitchen staple, including sloping sides that make it easy to sneak in a spatula and a hollow triangle between the handle and cooking surface that keeps the grip cool. -Michael Calore
Peden + Munk02tinykitchen
__Bon & Petite__ Even if your studio apartment has a ’70s-era electric stove, zero cabinets, and paltry prep space, these tools will get you cooking. -Joe Ray
03tk-bowls
__[Calibowl Aqua Sky Mixing Bowl Set | $50](http://www.crateandbarrel.com/5-piece-calibowl-aqua-sky-nonslip-nesting-mixing-bowl-set/f57386)__ Designed by a surfer, CaliBowl’s set has a goofy hippie vibe. But the bowls nest like Russian dolls, and the lip curls inward (like a wave, dude) for less messy stirring and dipping. Minimum wipeouts!
04tk-oven
__[Breville Smart Oven | $250](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001L5TVGW?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)__ Sure, it’s got a frozen pizza function, but it also has a convection fan and a self- calibrating temperature control—two features missing on many traditional ovens. Expect perfect cookies every time.
05tk-utensils
__[Joseph Joseph Nest Utensils | $25](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006BSBGI0?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)__ Lacking a drawer for utensils? These multihued beauties take up less countertop space than a postcard. You get five key tools: ladle, spoon, slotted spoon, spatula, and pasta server.
06tk-knife
__[Global 7-Inch Hollow Ground Santoku | $80](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00081GAQY?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)__ A versatile, well-balanced santoku knife can mincea shallot, dissect a squash, or just knock the crusts off a PB&J. Dimples on the blade let tomato slices slide right off.
07tk-blender
__[Kitchen Aid 3-Speed Blender | $80](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MMNBBQ?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)__ You can always puree a soup by transferring it— in batches—to a blender, splashing hot slop as you go. Or you can dip this stick into the pot, buzz it for a minute, and ring the dinner bell.
08tk-cooktop
__[Scanpan CTX 11-Inch Saute Pan | $200](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00323JWY2?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)__ This induction- friendly nonstick pan has a unique ceramic titanium coating that holds up under high heat. It can achieve something unattainable by most nonsticks: a good sear. __[True Induction Single Cooktop | $124](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049IEHGC?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)__ It’s tough to work your magic without a quality range. Put an induction cooker on the counter, however, and it’s game on. We like this 1,600- watt model.
Peden + Munk09shaptonstone
__[Shapton Glass Stone 3-Stone Set | $287](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NXXO4S?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)__You dropped Kobe-cash on your knife, handmade by a Japanese master who tempered it in his own sweat. And you’re gonna sharpen it with that crusty old block? A fine blade deserves a cell-splitting edge—like you can get with these. The ceramic abrasive mixture is bonded to tempered glass, so the stones will never warp and bollix up the shape of your edge. - Joe Brown
Peden + Munk10bathtime
__Bath Time__ Cooking vacuum‐ sealed food slowly in just‐hot‐enough water locks in juices and flavor. -Joe Ray

__[The Searzall | $75](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1708738346/the-searzall)__ A steak cooked sous vide is a gray blob; the job isn’t finished until you torch it. This baffle design by food geek Dave Arnold spreads heat evenly for the perfect sear.

__[Anova Precision Cooker | $179](http://anovaculinary.com/products/anova-precision-cooker)__ This immersion circulator comes with an updatable app that lets you tweak time and water temperature settings to match what you’re cooking and how much it weighs.
13sv-shears
__[Shun Premium Kitchen Shears | $100](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DINYHE?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)__ Wield these high carbon stainless steel scissors to cut up a chicken pre-bath—a notch near the pivot can be used to rend small bones. The blades make quick work of the bag when the bird is done.
14sv-scale
__[Mira Glass Digital Kitchen Scale | $26](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FF16B8E?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)__ With sous vide, a good scale is vital. It keeps portions uniform and, more important, reins in the often-smaller than-you-think you-need amount of seasonings you put in the bag.
