What do you have in your kitchen that you love? We all have kitchen essentials that we can’t live without. Cutlery is a must in my books while for some it could be fantastic kitchen gadgets. Do you have any that come to mind? Well, today we are going to discuss ultimate kitchen essentials you need right now for your home and why we need them so dearly. This is great for new couples who are getting their first home together or if you are getting your first home on your own. Let’s dive in!
Knife Sets
Frying Pans
Frying pans are so needed in the kitchen. It is needed when you are making pancakes or eggs but even when you are making dinner on the stove. Think about getting a set of frying pans or a skillet because they are very useful in the kitchen. You will want to check out reviews about which ones are better or go with brands that you have used before. Remember just because a pan looks cute doesn’t mean it will get the job done. The new trend with pans are the non-stick titanium ones.
Mashers
Even though there is technology that can mash potatoes faster than a human hand, I recommend having a masher in your kitchen drawer for the off chance that your device stops working or that you need to mash something small. As much as it can get annoying and repetitive, it is a great workout for your hands and arms plus, it saves you at the end of the day for last-minute mashing moments.
The Little Things
You are always going to need spatulas, whisks, peelers and ice cream scoops in your kitchen drawers. It is there for all your baking and cooking needs. You can whisk your baking ingredients, flip your pancakes with a spatula, peel potatoes with a peeler, plus we all know what it is like to have to scoop ice cream without a scoop. Each item has a job, regardless if you need it every day or not, it is still a fantastic tool to have for whenever you need it.
Wood Cutting Boards
Cutting boards are a must! There are always times when you need to cut something, so having a wooden cutting board is a great buffer between the counter and your food. Wood is durable and the cutting boards are easy to clean. Another thing is that makes great decor for when you are not using it, simply lean it again a wall in your kitchen next to a cookbook and your kitchen has a reusable decor item. I love items that are the best of both worlds!
Utensil Holder/ Spoon Rest
What do you use to hold your utensils when you are not using it? Some of us have the space to store everything you need in drawers however, it is not always the case for everyone. Having a container on your counter for easy access to your most used utensils is a must. However, it is just as important to have a spoon rest so that you have a spot to rest your spoons on the counter while you are cooking. Why? When we stir or flip, we have a utensil that is in use but that is always dirty, having an area where you can rest this utensil keeps your counter clean and away from germs.
