Whether you love cooking and are looking to upgrade your kitchen utensils, or you’re at the start of your cooking journey and want to improve your cooking skills, here’s a list of all the necessary tools you will need to take your cooking to the next level.
Pots and Pans
The right pots and pans won’t just make it easier to cook your favourite dishes but will also improve the taste and quality of the things you’re cooking up. As you would think, depending on what you are looking to cook, there are different pots and pans that will work better and make it easier for you to cook your meal. If you can, here are some of the most useful pots and pans you should have in your kitchen:
Stock pans
Stock pans are deep, wide-base pans that are a need for making soups, stews, and pasta — essential kitchenware for the approaching winter!
Frying pans
Frying pans are perfect for cooking meat, chicken, or even sautéing some vegetables because they have a large diameter. The greatest frying pan will help you prepare an outstanding breakfast because these are also recommended for cooking eggs, flipping omelettes, and making pancakes.
Saucepans
Saucepans cannot be overlooked! Saucepans are a fundamental piece of cooking equipment, that will make it simple to boil pasta, mash potatoes, and steam vegetables. When meal planning, they are the ideal kitchen tool because they let you prepare rice, quinoa, and so much more!
A good cookbook
A decent cookbook will help you decide exactly the dishes you want to learn how to prepare as well as how to make the best use of your pots and pans.
Remember to focus your search while selecting a cookbook by identifying your priorities. Are you interested in discovering more about a certain cuisine? Or perhaps you just want to concentrate on one dish and learn how to make the perfect pasta. There is undoubtedly a cookbook to suit your needs, whatever you choose to concentrate on!
Prep is Key
When you look closely at that recipe, you’ll be shocked by how much dicing, chopping, and mixing it can require. The best cooking investment you’ve ever made will be in the tools you need to help you prepare your ingredients.
Food processor
Food processors are a frequently ignored (though obvious) option that can help you finish time-consuming food preparation activities faster. Dicing, chopping, and emulsifying are all handled promptly with this.
Stand and Hand Mixers
Long gone are tired arms with hand mixers and stand mixers. Suddenly you won’t mind beating whipped cream for dessert, and you’ll be able to mix up fresh pizza dough without even breaking a sweat!
Spiralizer
Want to try the highly regarded courgette alternative since you’re sick of spaghetti? If so, then the spiralizer is just the tool you need.
Rice cooker
Just like the humble food processor, rice cookers are one of the most underrated appliances. Not only will they help you make the perfect batch of rice every time (which is no easy feat), but you can buy rice cookers with steam basket attachments—meaning you can also steam vegetables at the same time!
You’re sure to improve your cooking in no time with the correct cookware, a helpful cookbook, and a few cool gadgets.
