In this episode of The Wirecutter Show, the focus is on creating a kitchen filled with "buy-it-for-life" items. Host Michael Sullivan, a kitchen expert, divides kitchenware into three categories: "buy-it-for-life" items like cast iron and tri-ply cookware; "buy-it-for-decades" products such as stand mixers and high-quality blenders; and "buy-it-for-now" essentials, including nonstick cookware and electric kettles. Sullivan underscores the significance of proper care, especially hand-washing, to ensure the longevity of these kitchen staples. Listeners will receive practical tips for selecting durable, quality kitchen tools and discovering them at budget-friendly prices, with suggestions for checking out estate sales and refurbished options.
