This year, everyone's doing a lot more cooking at home, so why not get those essential kitchen tools you've been needing?
Promising review: "Happy I took a chance with choosing these as they meet my needs completely and without annoyance. I love to use my air fryer, and they recommend using silicone tipped tongs, but those things and are slippery and make it impossible to get a good grip, unlike these Pioneer Woman tongs. The stainless steel tips are very thin, and the metal is strong so I can grab down into the air fryer basket with precision, and firmly grip my food for flipping or removing without tearing off any breading, damaging the food or even scratching up my air fryer." –jappers

Promising review: "I bought this so I could cook in the summer without heating my apartment up since there's no windows in my kitchen and to replace the small one I've had for over 17 years. First time I made BBQ chicken in it, the chicken was so tender it fell apart. It's bigger than I thought it would be and cooks great! Well worth the price." –Betty

Promising review: "SO happy with these so far. Beautiful bowls that are also very durable AND come with lids. I'm using them as mixing bowls I can also put in the microwave to melt butter (most other mixing bowls say not microwave safe). I'm also using them as serving bowls since they look nice. All in all great purchase." –Nicole

Promising review: "I love that I can easily use these with my left hand, since I'm left-handed, I have a hard time finding good kitchen shears. The grip is nice and doesn't cause a lot of fibers to stick to it like some products do. Out of the package they are really sharp and I haven't had any issues with them cutting anything, and I've had to cut a lot over the past few weeks. They are still nice and sharp." –candacenicole

It includes fine, medium, and coarse grating plates and a slicing blade.
Promising review: "This is a standard-size box grater. It's sharp and has a comfortable handle. I have grated Monterey Jack (large holes and slicer), Gruyere (large holes), and Parmesan (medium holes). The grater did a good job on all the cheeses. It made quick work on 8-ounce blocks of the Jack and the Gruyere. I was especially impressed with the fast grating speed on the older, drier parm as this takes forever on my microplane graters. For reference I'm a small person without a lot of arm strength." –Carrie
