Chefs Want You to Stop Buying These 6 Kitchen Products — Here’s What To Grab Instead

“I think people often buy spiralizers or other niche gadgets that end up collecting dust in the kitchen,” said Richard Sandoval, founder and owner of Richard Sandoval Hospitality. Instead of a spiralizer, he recommends buying a high-quality mandoline slicer. “It’s incredibly versatile and allows you to create thin slices of vegetables for everything from ceviche toppings to perfect plantain chips,” he said. This OXO model lets you choose between three thicknesses. It also comes with a handle that doubles as a finger guard to protect your fingers from the razor-sharp blades.
