Whereas I usually eschew single-purpose kitchen devices, I exploit my OXO corn prep peeler all summer season lengthy.

This is not the precise mannequin I’ve (it seems to be discontinued), however I belief most merchandise OXO makes. — Megan O. Steintrager, affiliate editorial director 

ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE

My boyfriend and I grill nearly each evening (we’re making the most of the great climate earlier than the Vermont winter hits in about mid-September), so the Thermapen ONE is rarely far.

I’ve tried plates (round and awkward), quarter-sheet pans sheets (too large), and different ins and outs. After which I remembered eighth-sheet pans existed.

It’s tremendous simple to scrub, due to the nonstick coating. — An
