Kitchen & Dining

We tested kitchen scales for sourdough and found the best mix of 0.1 g precision, tare control, bowl fit, and capacity for real dough.

We tested eight kitchen scales for meal prep to find the ones that tare cleanly, read in grams, and wipe down fast, from budget to premium.

We tested mandolines for potato chips, gratins, and fries. Here are the safest, sharpest, and easiest picks for even slices.

We tested compact salad spinners to find the ones that dry greens fast, store flat, and still fit a small kitchen’s cabinets and counters.

We tested garlic presses with weak hands in mind. A light body, soft grip and easy cleanup matter more than brand — here’s what to buy.

We tested presses, peelers, slicers, and choppers to find the garlic tools that mince cleanly, feel comfortable, and earn their drawer space.

The OXO 3-in-1 is the avocado tool we recommend first, alongside a masher set for guacamole and a squeeze pitter that grips any size pit.

We put electric, press and pull choppers through piles of onions to find the ones that dice cleanly, clean up fast and spare your hands.

We tested manual and electric salt and pepper grinders for grind consistency, refilling, and durability. Here are the sets worth your counter space.

Two mills, one charge, no more wrist work: we tested electric salt and pepper grinder sets and picked the seven worth the counter space.

We tested mills and grinder sets for arthritic hands, ranking low-grip ratchet, one-touch electric, gravity, and soft-twist options for real kitchens.

We tested electric can openers for weak hands. Smooth side-cut lids, a one-touch cycle, and a base that holds the can steady matter more than watts.
