A Few Of Chef Vicky Ratnani's Kitchen Favourites

My favourite kitchen tool would be my collection of knives which I have got from all over the world. I also love my cast iron pots and pans, Staub and Lodge are my favourites.

If I could recommend just one high-quality chef’s knife it would be Wüsthof classic iron from Germany. But Miyabi from Japan, and Takeshi Saji are also exceptional options.

While I love all the brands in my kitchen, I absolutely adore Global for knives and Paderno for pots and pans. In my studio, I use Smeg and it's one of the best.

My favourite air fryer ever was the first one I used—the Philips Air Fryer. It became a complete game-changer for me.

I use the Smeg bean-to-cup machine at home. But if there's one that I would love to get, it is a Jura.  Also, KitchenAid blenders are my go-to.

I like to cook in cast iron enamel as it has great heat retention and timeless durability. I love Le Creuset in this department, they are classic, beautiful, and extremely functional.

If I had to pick one Indian kitchen brand or artisanal tool it would be the String Hopper maker or noodle extruder for idiyappam. 

I genuinely believe that a Thermomix is a luxury brand that’s worth every bit for serious home chefs or cooking enthusiasts. It's also my favourite electric kitchen as it's versatile and does the job of many appliances in one.

I use my grandmother’s mortar and pestle and a Molcajete I picked up on a trip to Mexico.

Mandoline Slicer. It's a time-saving, precision tool that’s super handy.

Definitely the entire Sindhi menu, the Burgers, the Pizzas, the Buff Carpaccio, Chicken Under a Brick, Just Jerk Chicken, Salmon Steak, Rainbow Trout, etc.
