Bamboo Wood Cutting Board | $26
Another cooking faux pas is using your dinner plates to chop vegetables. You need a level surface for knifework! This bamboo board is a cheaper alternative to the chunky butcher blocks you see chefs use, but gets the work done all the same.
Amazon’s bestselling baking sheets are by sheet pan legends, Nordic Ware. This two pack keeps you cookin’ through all those roasty, toasty sheet pan dinners; its “encapsulated steel rim” reinforces the pan for a lifetime of cooking and baking.
Silpat Baking Mat, Medium | $24 | 13% Off
You don’t need a Silpat, a silicone baking sheet, but it’ll make cleaning up so much easier. This mat fits turns any old baking sheet into a nonstick surface for roasting veggies or making cookies. It’s made of fiberglass mesh, and is dishwasher safe—that’s easy cleanup.
If you have dishes you don’t hate, you’ll trick yourself into thinking your dinner is awesome, even if you overcooked the squash a little. These scratch-resistant plates are also microwave and dishwasher safe!
