I absolutely love spending time in the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes and cooking up a storm. Over the years, I've come to realize that there are a few items that are an absolute must-have in my kitchen. Here are my top 5 picks:
1. Mixing bowls: Mixing bowls are essential for any kitchen. I prefer stainless steel bowls as they are durable and easy to clean. They are perfect for mixing ingredients for baking or tossing a salad. These are the ones I use: Bellemain Stainless Steel Non-Slip Mixing Bowls with Lids.
2. A good set of knives: Whether you're chopping vegetables, slicing meat, or dicing herbs, a good set of knives is essential. I prefer knives with a comfortable grip and a sharp blade that can handle a variety of tasks. This set is my favorite and only one in my Kitchen: 7 Pcs Kitchen Knife Set, Chef Knife Set & Steak Knives.
3. Non-stick frying pan: A non-stick frying pan is perfect for cooking eggs, pancakes, and other delicate foods. It makes cooking and cleaning up a breeze. My favorie of all time: Nonstick Ceramic Sauté Pan with Lid (4.5 qt, 11.8") - Non Toxic
4. Blender: A blender is a versatile kitchen tool that can be used for making smoothies, soups, sauces, My habichuelas (beans - Dominican Style) and more. I can't leave with out it: Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender with 1000-Watt Base and Total Crushing Technology for Smoothies, Ice and Frozen Fruit
5. Cast Iron Skillet: There's something about cooking with a cast iron skillet that just makes food taste better. The even heat distribution and retention of cast iron make it perfect for searing, sautéing, and frying. Plus, a well-seasoned cast iron skillet is virtually non-stick, making cleanup a breeze. I use my cast iron skillet for everything from cooking steak to baking cornbread. This is the one I use: Pre Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet
These are just a few of the must-have items in a kitchen. Depending on your cooking style and preferences, you may need additional items such as a food processor, slow cooker, or stand mixer.
I hope this helps! What are your Kitchen Must Have? Like my Grandmother used to said, Everyone in the kitchen has their own seasoning. Don't judge a person by the way they cook but how it taste.
