This week’s episode is brought to you by Bada Bean Bada Boom, Thrive Market & Cook Smarts
When Stacie asked members of the Didn’t I Just Feed You Listener’s Group to name their favorite kitchen tool under $50, we had no idea the response would be so resounding. You all have strong opinions about your kitchen tools! And — no surprise — so do we. This week, we’re sharing our favorites and our listeners’ favorites too.

Here’s Our List: Feel Free to @ Us!
This week, inspired by our listeners sharing their favorite kitchen tools, we’ve decided to share ours too. We divided our picks for the best kitchen tools for under $50 into two categories: essentials and fun to have. We agree on most items, but don’t worry: we also disagree on a few. After all, it’s never a snooze fest here!
Here are the links mentioned in our conversation:
The coarse microplane Stacie uses for cheese, and the smaller microplane she uses for nutmeg, ginger, garlic, etc.
Kitchen shears: We like these Oxo kitchen shears for everyday use and these poultry shears if you’re looking for something more heavy duty
Tongs: These are great all stainless tongs and these are nylon tipped tongs
Toaster oven: We don’t know much about this one, but it’s well rated and under $50!
