Adrienne and Joe rank chef-approved kitchen gear into three distinct categories: professional-grade, home-use, and "throw it in the trash." In this episode, we also discuss: • Why glass cutting boards, cheap pan sets, and vintage grill tongs belong in the bin • Whetstones vs. electric sharpeners (and the truth about rolling sharpeners) • Carbon steel vs. nonstick: choosing the right sauté pan for your kitchen • Heavy-duty metal vs. silicone: finding tongs that actually grip • High-powered food processors and where the Magic Bullet fits in • Instant-read meat thermometers vs. frustrating app-dependent probes • Quick-fire verdicts on oven mitts, immersion blenders, garlic presses, and air fryers Follow the show: @chefscutpod Follow Adrienne: @chefadriennecheatham Follow Joe: @insta.flamm
