Esquire has a good point — a kitchen gadget isn’t beneficial unless you use it! There are so many gadgets that may look cool or cute and give your kitchen a certain look, but a true chef wants something practical.

An oil dispenser set runs as low as 30 bucks and works with something any chef uses — oil! Whether olive, avocado or vegetable oil, the set recommended by Esquire comes with a sprayer and mister that will help evenly distribute oil so you don’t have an oops moment of pouring too much.

If you’re willing to spend a bit more for that special chef in your life, a smart meat thermometer is a great option for any cook. Whether cooking ribs, chicken or a steak, the thermometer ensures your meat reaches a safe temperature, and the best part is your phone or smart speaker can alert you when the meat has reached the proper temp. 

Delish has another very affordable kitchen gadget, an egg yolk separator. They recommend a cute one from Amazon that not only is adorable but also functional. It’s small as well so won’t take up much room in one of your drawers. 

Another affordable option from Delish is an avocado slicer. Avocados have been hugely popular in recipes for years now and they’re not going anywhere any time soon. You can find slicers for under $20 and most cut open the avocado, deseed and slice it as well. 

Saving an expensive, but very efficient item for last, AWG Private Chefs recommends all chefs have a good blender/food processor. AWG recommends the Ninja, saying it can “turn ice into snow in seconds.” From smoothies and coffees to soups and purees, this kitchen gadget can whip up just about anything in record timing.
