1. America's Test Kitchen

This ultimate kitchen appliance and utensil review site is a must-check for many home chefs and cooks. One person online said this about ATK. "America's test kitchen is so thorough I agree it's my first place to look. I've watched all their videos because I enjoy their thoroughness."

2. Oxo

Oxo is the go-to place for kitchen gear made for comfort and functionality. One user said this about their brand. "I've found Oxo is the most reliable brand for ergonomic function and durability."

3. Restaurant Supply House

When one person suggested finding a restaurant supply store, another said this about the kitchen equipment meant for lots of action. "Yep, get the stuff made to see a lot of use. They're not indestructible, but restaurant stuff is often cheaper than the fancy store brands and just as good because they make them to use, not look pretty."

4. Lodge

I can attest that cast iron can go all day and then some. One individual mentioned this about their favorite brand of cast iron. "Cast iron will outlive you if you take care of it. Lodge is the brand to look for."

5.  Wüsthof

For knives, one participant can't get enough of the Wüsthof brand. They said, "I recently got two Wüsthof knives - a santoku and a paring knife - in amazing condition for eight bucks at an estate sale. This situation is the way."

6.  Anchor Hocking

When my husband and I married, we received several Anchor cookware pieces as gifts. They are some of my favorites; twenty years later, we still have them in excellent condition. One respondent also said this about them, "Replace the Pyrex measuring cups with Anchor Hocking brand (they pour so much better)."

7. Webstaurant

There are mixed reviews on this site as to whether it's worth the cost. One user said, "Webstraunt is where I get my best stuff." But another commenter wasn't so pleased and said, "Holy smokes, this is new to me! Looking at their website, I think you've just inadvertently made me spend a bunch of money."

8. Rubbermaid

One contributor suggested Rubbermaid and Sterilite were great brands. They said, "For food storage, Rubbermaid. Sterilite is also a good brand and neither is overpriced. I never buy the glass-with-plastic-tops stuff... I feel like you get a better seal with all plastic anyway."

9. Kuhn Rikon

For someone, Kuhn Rikon peelers can't be beat. "My favorite peelers are Kuhn Rikon. They wear out, and I buy another three-pack. But honestly, I've been using the same original three for around ten years, both at home and in a work kitchen. They can be stropped on fresh denim or leather to give them more life."

10. Dexter

Somebody was impressed with the Dexter brand. After looking up their website, the brand does sport some serious quality in the different types of products they sell.
