Key Essentials That Everyone Should Have in Their Kitchen

Written by:  Rex

Whether you have set up your kitchen for a while and still feel it is not well equipped, or you are completely new to setting up a cooking space, this post will help you figure out all that you need in a kitchen. Most people are not well versed with what they absolutely need in a kitchen and what they can do away with. As a result, they often end up buying unnecessary items while leaving out the necessities. Here are all the essentials that your kitchen should have.

The Right Cookware

Even when you have the most lavish kitchen, you cannot cook without pots, pans, and other essential cookware. However, you cannot just head to the store and pick some random pots and pans without any planning. You must know what the right cookware that you need is and how much cookware is adequate for you. This is even more important if you are setting up your kitchen on a budget because cookware tends to be costly.  

Pay attention to the kind of cooktop you have, so that you can figure out compatibility and what kind of cookware you require. Once that is sorted, figure out the sizes of pots and pans and the quantity that you need. Oversized pots are only required if you cook in very large quantities so unless you host people regularly, you can stick to smaller cookware. Ideally, three to five assorted pots, two pans, and a wok are good enough for a small family. At least one nonstick pan is important to be able to cook recipes such as omelets.

The Right Tools

Once your pots and pans are sorted, focus on the tools and utensils that you will need to help in food preparation. Many newbies buy random knives for all kitchen purposes. There is nothing like an “all-purpose knife.” Different types of knives are designed to serve specific purposes. Investing in a decent quality set of chef knives is the greatest favor that you can do to yourself. Besides the knives, there are other important tools such as peelers, rolling pin, sieve, baking parchments and other basic tools that you will need. Make sure you have a mix of wooden and stainless steel stirring spoons since wood works better in some recipes.

Appliances

A lot of cooking processes are now heavily dependant on kitchen appliances. Although manual alternatives are available, they can make the entire process very complex and time-consuming. Using appliances can help you save time and bring in more precision to your food. However, it does not mean that you need to buy every fancy equipment available in the market. If you can find a good quality multi-purpose food processor, that can do all the grinding, chopping, slicing and blending, you will have a major chunk of appliances covered. A refrigeration unit is, however, a must-have.
