Glass Mixing Bowls
These Anchor Hocking glass mixing bowls are one of the most useful Ina Garten kitchen essentials—and it’s clear why. This set includes every size mixing bowl home cooks need (even the really tiny ones). Not to mention glass makes it easy to see all of your ingredients for mise en place prep. And no warping, staining or lingering smells with these bowls! Use this set to prep Ina’s creamy cucumber salad.

Salad Spinner
OXO is one of the Taste of Home Test Kitchen’s favorite brands for everyday kitchen gadgets. So the fact that it’s Ina Garten-approved and available on Amazon is a win, win—and win! This salad spinner is the easiest way to rinse and dry greens. It fits a whole head of lettuce and leaves greens crispy, dry and ready for a salad.

Oven Thermometer
This top-selling oven thermometer on Amazon stands and hangs in the oven for easy reading. It’s one of several, classic Ina Garten kitchen essentials on this list that every cook needs. Try it while baking a batch of Ina’s famous corn muffins.

Stainless Steel Zester
Unlike box graters, this stainless steel zester is sleek, compact and perfect for zesting citrus fruits. It even fluffs Parmesan into tiny mounds. Craving Ina’s 3-ingredient lemon capellini? This tool has you covered.
Good Knives
A quality knife block may be an investment piece, but it saves you from replacing ordinary sets every few years. These WÜSTHOF knives aren’t just an Ina Garten kitchen essential—our Test Kitchen loves them, too. This block comes with five laser-cut stamped knives and scissors. Plus, WÜSTHOF tools don’t corrode and resist dulling. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by their razor sharpness while slicing veggies or cutting meat for Ina’s favorite recipes.

KitchenAid Stand Mixer
A KitchenAid Stand Mixer is one the prettiest Amazon appliances money can buy. And this five-quart pick just so happens to be beloved by many chefs and bakers, including Ina Garten. Choose the color that fits your kitchen aesthetic (we love pistachio) and watch it do the mixing for you! Pair it with our favorite KitchenAid accessories.

Pepper Grinder
If this salt and pepper grinder looks familiar, it’s because it’s one of many Ina Garten kitchen essentials that frequently pops up on her cooking show. With multiple grind settings, it delivers precise seasoning whether you prefer coarse sea salt or finely ground pepper.

Citrus Reamer
Another OXO favorite, this handheld citrus reamer effortlessly squeezes every last drop of lemon, lime or orange juice. The natural wood finish doesn’t react with acidic fruits (read: it stays stronger for longer). Just keep this Ina Garten kitchen essential out of the dishwasher! Pomegranate spritzer, anyone?
via merchant
Swiss Peeler
This powerhouse peeler is perfect for potatoes, veggies and adding beautiful citrus rinds to recipes. The handle keeps fingers away from the blade, and the side has a potato-eye remover. Put this tool to work by making Ina’s potato salad recipe.
