#1: Knives

You can’t have a kitchen without an array of knives. In fact, 3 knives should be enough along with a knife sharpener. Your chef’s knife will do most of the work in your kitchen, but, you should also invest in a serrated knife which is great for cutting bread, and a paring knife that allows you to slice and mince smaller things.

#2: Peeler – Y-shaped

If you haven’t got a Y-shaped peeler then get yourself one, you’ll be surprised at how much difference it makes to the speed and quality of your peeling jobs.

#3: Colander

You may also know this as a strainer, it’s essential when cooking any type of pasta and most rice dishes. Simply chuck the food in and let the water drain out. You’ll need a large colander to ensure you can handle any dish you’re making. It’s actually a good idea to get a plastic one as this conducts the heat less, making it easier to hold while using it.

#4: Meat Thermometer

There will be a time when you need to cook meat and you’re going to want to know that it’s reached the right temperature in the middle. The meat  thermometer takes out the guesswork and allows you to focus on the cooking.

#5: Spice Grinder

It’s almost certain that you’re going to want to add some spices to at least one dish. While you can purchase ground spices, as a budding chef, you’ll quickly realize that fresh produce tastes so much better.

To get the spices ground properly and enjoy this flavor, you’re going to need a spice grinder.

#6: Mixing Bowls

This is such a simple thing that can be easily overlooked. But, you’re not going to be able to cook anything unless you can mix it first!

It’s a good idea to get mixing bowls with lids, they can double as storage containers when needed.

#7: Measuring Spoons

Yes, you’ll need your scales for some measuring, but, you’ll also find cups and spoons are extremely useful, especially when you’re following recipes that state the ingredients in cup sizes.

Metal is the better option here as they’ll last longer.

#8: Can Opener

Here’s another essential item that no kitchen can survive without. Even f you only ever use fresh produce there will be a time when you need to open a can, and you’ll need a can opener.

#9: Towels/Oven gloves

In order to avoid getting burned, you’ll need some sort of protection when removing things from the oven. Towels work well as they can be used for a multitude of other things. But, you may prefer the convenience of oven gloves, the choice is yours.

#10: Food Processor

This is a real time saving when making dishes, doing most of the work for you in less time. You’ll need to choose one that can blend, chop, and even grate.
