About Kitchen Prep Lab

I've spent the last eight years in emergency medicine, working a handful of different roles, and a little over two years ago I finally earned my RN. That job teaches you to cut through the noise fast and figure out what actually matters. Turns out that's a pretty useful skill for picking kitchen gear too.

For most of my life I fought with food addiction. It wasn't until I started on a GLP-1 that I actually had the patience and the desire to learn how to cook real, healthy food for myself. Only problem was, I didn't have the right tools for it. I bought things that looked good in photos and gave up on half of them within a month.

Kitchen Prep Lab is what came out of all that trial and error. Everything here is stuff I actually tried, kept, or shoved in a drawer and never touched again. My goal is to save you some of that guesswork with practical picks, not another spec sheet dressed up as a review.

When I'm not testing kitchen gear, I'm usually being supervised by my cat, Katie. She has strong opinions about counter space. She has none about cookware.
