1. Cast-iron pans
They’re heavy. They’re less forgiving than Teflon or anodised surfaces. But they spread heat evenly, are almost non-stick when seasoned well, retain heat better and don't need effort during the washing up. Splurge on designs that use one single piece of metal without screwedon handles. Nishant Choubey prefers Le Creuset.
2. Air fryers
Not just a fad. Professional chefs and home cooks have been becoming fast fans. Food cooks quicker, in less oil, and delivers the same kick you'd get from greasier, heart-clogging methods. "You won't be able to tell between a deep-fried and air-fried golgappa," says Choubey. Air fried items also have a longer shelf life than deep-fried ones, which turn rancid quickly. Pick a trusted brand over a lesser-known model.
3. Pacojet
Chefs use this high-end product to puree frozen items without waiting for them to thaw. Ambitious weekend cooks are starting to love it too, says Sandhu. The Pacojet has highly efficient blades, so soups, sorbets or even mixing dough, are less of a hassle.
