If you grew up cooking alongside a parent, grandparent, or caretaker, you might remember a much simpler selection of tools, equipment, and gadgets than is common in many kitchens today. If your family was really into cooking, maybe they had a nice blender, a food processor, or even a bread maker (remember those?). These days, however, the arsenal of a home cook seems to grow each year. Their tools have expanded far beyond wooden spoons and stainless steel mixing bowls to include in-demand items such as the perennially popular Instant Pot and the superstar air fryer.
Given the wide range of gadgets, you might expect folks in New York — the Big Apple with thousands upon thousands of high-end restaurants (via World Cities Culture Forum) — to favor a wildly expensive or difficult-to-use kitchen tool, like a professional mandoline slicer or a fancy sous vide machine. But according to data compiled by Surety First using Google Trends, the most-searched kitchen tool in the Empire State is actually a rather basic and cheap one.
