Yes, sometimes you might want to splurge on [a good-quality food processor]( or [a top-tier Dutch oven](. But the regular gadgets and tools that you use day in and day out? They don’t need to cost much. In fact, we’ve found that the inexpensive items are sometimes even better than models that cost two or three times more. Want to sharpen up your kitchen tools? Our [top-rated paring knife]( is razor-sharp and has a comfy handle that comes in a rainbow of colors. It’s less than $10 and performs better than a model that currently retails for nearly $100! Our [favorite vegetable peeler]( is also less than 10 bucks. If you’re in a giving mood, spring for [a three-pack of peelers](. A few key cleaning tools can also significantly improve your time in the kitchen. I’m especially partial to [our winning kitchen sponges](. I spent days scrubbing piles of dirty dishes when I was testing sponges—I found our winner, and I will never look back. They are my forever kitchen sponges. When I last checked, a six-pack worked out to a little more than $1.25 per sponge. To keep your sponge dry and free of bacteria, store it in [our favorite sponge holder](. It sticks tight to the sink and is unobtrusive. Want more low-cost items that offer a big return? Check out [our guide]( to items less than $15. [Tongs]( Must-Have of the week Tongs We have a saying around here about kitchen tools “feeling like an extension of your hands.” It is so true! When you have a really great pair of tongs or spatula, it feels effortless to pick up food in a skillet, stir it around in a mixing bowl, or flip it over on a baking sheet. I especially like this 9-inch size when dressing salads but there’s very little you can’t do with them.
