On the first episode, Markle makes a one-pot spaghetti and bakes a cake that both require lemon zest. She and her friend, makeup artist Daniel Martin, use this Microplane to get the job done.

Tons of star chefs, including Ina Garten, Andrew Zimmern and Eric Adjepong also love this particular tool, as do our editors. It's the best for zesting because it allows you to scrape the fragrant rind without getting any of the bitter pith.

Markle and chef Choi use this strainer to reclaim fried chicken wings from a pot of hot oil, but it can also be used to scoop up pasta or vegetables from boiling water. 

Called a spider strainer because the basket looks like a web, this tool is commonly used in Chinese cooking. This particular pick is heat-resistant up to 350 degrees and dishwasher-safe.

In almost every episode, Markle makes use of these reliable, durable mixing glass bowls in prepping various sweet and savory dishes. They're a smart choice because they're odor- and stain-resistant and microwave-, freezer- and dishwasher-safe.

At $46 for 10 bowls, we're ordering our own set stat.

Sifting dry ingredients for baking, rinsing rice and washing produce are just a few ways these stainless steel mesh strainers come in handy.

Markle uses one when baking her favorite lemon-honey cake. Though we don't get to see how she deals with the dirty dishes, we're willing to bet she popped the strainer right into the dishwasher.

I'm a culinary school grad and both I and our resident pro baker, Britt Ross, vouch for these sheet pans. They get daily use in my kitchen, and so it seems in Markle's, too.

These pans heat quickly and evenly and are integral to baking and roasting. We love how durable and easy to clean they are ... and they last forever.

Whether Markle's making a pasta salad or batch cocktails, she uses this tried-and-true kitchen gadget for squeezing her citrus juice. 

We appreciate her nod to an Amazon top seller as much as her love for fresh lemon in so many dishes. This Zulay juicer can accommodate lemons and limes and filters out the seeds.

That lemon-honey cake Markle so lovingly bakes in the first episode? She uses this brush to coat the layers in homemade honey syrup (made with the honey from her own bees) before frosting them.

We appreciate a natural-bristle brush for applying egg wash to dough and for brushing meats and fish with a sauce or glaze during cooking. Just keep in mind that this brush should be hand washed — but at $4, it's well worth the effort.
