Whether setting up your kitchen for the first time or needing to replace some worn-out items, keeping your kitchen stocked with the proper tools is the first step to a great meal. Investing in these kitchen tools will make cooking an enjoyable and easy activity that you’ll look forward to. Here are our must-have kitchen tools.

Knives

The best way to find out which knife is better suited for your cooking style is to check them out at your local retailer. Whichever is the most comfortable is the brand you buy. And an extra tip, if you don’t put it in the dishwasher and keep it sharp, it’ll last forever.

Stainless Pots and Pans

If you’re only going to utilize and focus on one saucepan, make it worth your time. We prefer a sturdy pot because the bottom comprises five metal layers for heat distribution. This way, you can easily cook without the fear of overheating or undercooking your next meal. 

Wooden spoons

Throw away those cheap plastic stirring spoons you bought at the grocery store right now and instead invest in some good wooden or bamboo spoons. The brand isn’t very important; what matters is that you can use them for everything and in every pan without worrying about damaging nonstick, cast iron, or enameled surfaces. Keep a couple around for stirring savory tomato sauces, spice-filled curries, and soups, and then dedicate a few for mixing everything else. Wash them immediately after use and let them air dry before you put them away; they’ll last for years.
