For new cooks, the world is their oyster. (They might not know how to shuck it yet, but they’ll get there.) To do that, they need the right tools, so we’ve compiled a list of classic yet inexpensive items for new cooks that we think will have a big impact on their cooking life. You won’t find a KitchenAid mixer or All-Clad pans on this list (great as they are), but you will find an affordable chef’s knife, a use-it-forever set of measuring cups, and an olive oil that’ll blow their mind — all tools to get a new cook going in the kitchen.
