My Most Used Kitchen Gadgets!

Along with certain ingredients that should be in every young couples kitchen, so should certain cooking tools. We’re just starting out so we’re not going to have it all, nor are the things we have going to be the top to the line. But here are a few things that I try to at least have around and that really allows me to do the majority of my cooking!

1. Knives! – If you can get GOOD ones! And if nothing else these two:

a. Paring knife

b. Chefs knife

2. Skillet

3. Saucepan (if possible two)

4. Sautéing pan (with lid)

5. Can opener

6. Peeler

7. Wooden Spoons (to avoid scratching pans)

8. Slotted Spoon

9. Serving-type spoon

10. Spatula

11. Mixing bowl

12. Cutting board

13. Measuring cups and spoons

14. Parchment Paper

15. Some type of inside grill (George Forman or Griddle)

I find that these basic items are really all I need to cook. Yea, sure, it’s nice to have a mini food processor or other gadgets for certain recipes, but for the most part I never really use these items with any frequency.
