Suggestions for useful cooks tools/ utensils/ gadgets?

[Anonymous]

I have a generous gift card to Williams Sonoma and I need suggestions on what to get! I have all the pots/ pans I need, and no need to upgrade. I have a vitamix, a good food processor, good baking sheets. Thinking of something like a mandolin to slice things for salads easier/ faster? Something to help with food prep? Any ideas?

A mandolin is fine. Knives? A sous vide stick? An immersion blender?

Garlic press
Herb scissors
Cookie dough scoops in different sizes
They also have nice towels and soaps

What do you like to cook, and what do you see yourself cooking in the future? That will help people give you suggestions for now and as your skills grow.

I am a great cook and baker. If there was a cooking or baking gadget or item I wanted or needed, I would own it already. Please don't buy me stuff I don't want or need, including gift cards to WS and the like

That’s you. Others who are also great cooks and/or bakers (like me) would disagree. Plus you can always regift it.

I'm enjoying gadgets which allow for different cooking techniques, like the sous-vide already mentioned, a pasta maker attachment for my stand mixer, and a air fryer.

Lucky you!

Are you sure all your pans are in good working condition? No matter how well I care for them, there comes a time to replace them. I love their GoldTouch series of bakeware.

I use my mandoline on a weekly (sometimes daily, esp in the summertime) basis but prefer the Benriner brand over anything I see/saw on the WS website.

I can, however, highly recommend...as a complete indulgence....the Rösle Garlic Press. Again, we use that "gadget" almost daily and the mechanics on it make it easy enough for our (then) 6-8 yo to use. Completely dishwasher safe and looks as good as new now 5+ years later.

Another luxury would be the Luxardo Maraschino Cherries. If you like a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, they are simply awesome.

Same. If you cook/bake enough, some things eventually wear out and need to be replaced.

I’d get Le Creuset in a new color.

Garlic press, pizza cutting shears, an electric teakettle

If you have everything you need then just buy some gourmet food from them.

Way to make a post about you. Not everything is about you, your narcissistic tool!
