Bake like a pro with these picks from chef and 'Nailed It!' judge Jacques Torres
As the head judge on Netflix's Nailed It!, pastry chef and master chocolatier Jacques Torres has seen his fair share of collapsed cakes and tragically melted frosting designs. Baking under stress can lead to disaster — which is why he makes sure to keep things "leisurely" in his home kitchen. In fact, he recently renovated the space to make it easier for him to both cook meals for his family and test out new recipes and products. "Most of my life I have spent in the kitchen, so it was important to me to have a functional and comfortable working space," he says. He installed luxurious Miele appliances — "they help me bake and cook with accuracy and ease," he says — but he also relies on a bunch of affordable, tried-and-true gadgets and tools. Read on for Jacques's kitchen essentials, and if you're curious how other star chefs stock their spaces, check out these fabulous finds from Andrew Zimmern and Marcus Samuelsson.
