With a seemingly unlimited number of kitchen appliances on the market, it can be difficult to cut through the noise and figure out what you actually need. Luckily, Homes & Gardens spoke with Top Chef's Gail Simmons to figure it out.
Simmons is an acclaimed food writer and cookbook author who has served as a permanent judge on the Bravo show since its inception in 2006. As a celebrity chef, she knows all the techniques for keeping your kitchen tidy and streamlining your kitchen appliances is a huge part of minimizing clutter while upgrading your cooking. When asked about her favorite appliance, Simmons had a surprising answer: her immersion blender.
