It’s slim, sleek, and powerful, and operated completely via smartphone. It cooks perfect food and looks good doing it.

Serious cooks know that good knives can make or break their work in the kitchen. Carbon-steel knives are a cut above the rest, and the Bob Kramer 8” Carbon Steel Chef’s Knife by Zwilling J.A. Henckels is the cream of the crop. It’s a gorgeous piece of craftsmanship that comes with a samurai-sharp, ultrathin blade that maintains its edge as you use it. (If you want to gift someone a less expensive but still high-quality knife, our favorite traditional 8-inch chef’s knife, the Victorinox Swiss Army Classic 8” Chef’s Knife, has lasted us years and has a much smaller price tag.)

Your foodie friend’s lunches deserve a container that looks as good as the food it contains. The best thing about the Monbento MB Square—Litchi is that it functions well, too. Out of the six bento boxes we tested, it had the largest capacity. It was the only model that was truly leakproof, and its various compartments made for a versatile lunchbox. (And if pink isn’t your color, you can choose from a variety of others.)

In addition to being an important part of a home cook’s arsenal, mortar and pestles are just great to look at.
