Chef José Andrés Dishes on His Favorite Kitchen Essentials

Paella Pan ($66)

As far as underrated kitchen accessories go, Andrés is loyal to paella pans for one simple reason: "Because every family in America needs to be cooking more paella," the chef explains. This pan is made from a traditional steel material (so it's extremely durable) and is large enough to cook a paella that's big enough to feed 12 people. To get the most out of the dish, Andrés's own brand, Mercado Little Spain, recommends that users purchase a paella burner, as well.
