We know it’s easy to be skeptical of the infamous kitchen multitool, but believe us when we say the Flisk is not a gimmick. Our kitchen team was blown away by the quality. This nifty tool didn’t win a Red Dot design award for nothing. It seamlessly shifts between three different shapes with a simple click of the knob located at the end of the handle. The first setting is a classic balloon whisk, perfect for beating egg whites into stiff peaks or making a quick batch of homemade whipped cream, and another half-opened setting (it’s narrowly X shaped when looked at from above) is ideal for stirring sauces, as it can also sneak into the edges of pans to make sure everything’s evenly mixed. Lastly, it folds completely flat, which does wonders for deglazing a pan and also for easy, tangle-free storage. We found the durable plastic of the ergonomic handle to stand up to a good amount of wear and tear and so can the Flisk’s 10 wires. They’re made from high-vibration spring steel to give you maximum aeration efficiency with (this means fluffy frostings in a flash) and are hygienically sealed within the handle.

For easy, spill-free pouring, these smartly designed silicone measuring cups are just the thing. The flexible material allows you to squeeze the cup and create a spout anywhere on its rim, adjusting as you pour. So whether you need precision pouring for runny liquids—like a thin stream of oil when emulsifying aioli—or a wider lip to quickly pour thick batters, the Flex-It Measuring Cups will work perfectly. Plus, the food-grade silicone can be used in the microwave and is heat-resistant up to 490 degrees Fahrenheit. It's also dishwasher-safe: We found that even after we left the cups sitting overnight with turmeric and chili, the silicone was easy to clean and didn't have any residual smells or stains. Choose between a three-piece set with 1-cup, 2-cup and 4-cup sizes, or buy the largest cup on its own—it's large enough to mix up your favorite pancake batter without dirtying a bowl!

Lightweight and multi-functional, the Primo Digital Scale is the best we've used at such a compact size. Many small kitchen scales are cheaply made, so their weight sensors are unreliable and give different readings depending on how your food is positioned. Escali's product gives consistent, accurate readings, with a two-button operation and straightforward tare function to subtract the weight of your container by resetting the scale to zero. It can handle up to 11 pounds and detect even the slightest weight change, down to a single gram. The buttons have a protective shield against splatter and are easy to clean; plus, the scale automatically shuts off after 4 minutes to conserve battery life.

Because of their robust construction and fine machining, Cuisipro’s award-winning precision tools are elevated kitchen essentials and a pleasure to use. These stainless steel measuring cups are our favorite brand because their perfectly flat rims make it easier for leveling off ingredients with a knife, while their elongated elliptical shape can fit into narrower containers. We found that the longer handles are useful for scooping ingredients—with these cups, you won’t need to stick your hand deep into a bag of flour each time you bake. These cups are also visually appealing; both the eyelet hole at the end of the cup and the handle shape have contours that echo the clever oval design.

This three-piece set of heavy-gauge stainless steel mixing bowls has a more durable construction than others. Each bowl has a black silicone lining on its bottom, which prevents the bowls from shifting and slipping during prep work. They are fairly tall-sided, rather than widening further from the base toward the rim; this means less food spilling out and a generous capacity to prepare large batches of food at a time. We also appreciate how the non-slip linings are tightly adhered to the bowls; on poorly made models, this rubberized base may detach and fall off over time.

Handcrafted in Portugal with local all-natural materials, this set of three beautiful measuring cups aren’t merely functional. The white speckled glaze and unique, timeless design complement any kitchen decor and make them attractive enough to leave out stacked on the shelf. Each of the three cups (1 cup, ½ cup, ⅓ cup) have a small handle and spout to help with pouring measured ingredients, and their durable construction means they can go easily from oven to microwave to freezer and dishwasher.

Every element of these stainless steel measuring spoons was thoughtfully designed to conveniently reach the bottoms of your most narrow spice containers, from the oval bowl to the long, slender handle. Their durable stainless steel feels sturdy and balanced in the hand, and the contours of the handle are comfortable to grip. We especially like that the spoons feature a gentle curve at the end that keeps them upright on countertops—no more spilled salt—and helps the spoons neatly nest into each other for compact storage.

Named after the Lys River, which crosses through France and Belgium, this set of six glass bowls is ideal for organizing all of your mise en place and is great for compact storage with collars on the rims for easy stacking. Made in France by Duralex, the extremely durable, chip-resistant tempered glass is 2.5 times stronger than ordinary glass and is designed to safely hold both hot and cold temperatures. And when you’re done, just stick them in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. Sets are available in two different dimensions, 4.75 inches with a 10 ounce capacity, or 3.5 inches with a 4 ounce capacity.

Great for stir-fries, mixing and general cooking, this durable, stainless steel spoon from Professional Secrets stands out among the rest because its curved and slightly bent shape allows for more flexibility when tossing, scooping or scraping. This sturdy spoon consists of a single, solid, continuous piece, making it less likely to break, unlike lesser quality varieties. We love the great design offered here along with the solid weight and the feel of it in our hands.

This 6-inch mini whisk from Mrs. Anderson’s Baking is perfectly sized for mixing and blending small quantities, like beating a single egg to glaze pastry dough or mixing a spice blend. Made from high quality 18/8 stainless steel, this little whisk is strong enough to incorporate powders, like hot chocolate or whey protein, into liquid or to produce light and fluffy eggs. After use, the dishwasher-safe mini whisk hangs by a hook on its handle for convenient storage.
