Building a new kitchen is always a great joy. If this is your first time doing one, here is a quick guide to the essentials you will need. Make sure to note everything before looking for a luxury kitchen accessories shop online or offline.
Great knives
Let’s start with the basic things, knives. Even if you don’t cook regularly, every kitchen needs good knives. Don’t go for cheap ones in this case; a good chef’s knife is worth more than 5 ordinary knives in the long run. And you should have at least three knives; one chef knife, one serrated bread knife and a paring knife.
Chopping board
The chopping board is another essential you can’t avoid. And again, get good wooden ones. They last longer and also look better. Ideally, you should have two boards; one for vegetables and one for meat. It is not a good idea to use one chopping board for everything. If you socialize often, you can also invest in a good cheese board that works as a chopping board and a serving for a cheese platter.
Basic cooking utensils
The following utensils are needed even for the most basic kitchen.
- Tongs
- Ladle
- Spatula
- Serving spoon
Basic cooking pots and pans
Listed below are some cooking utensils that you should have in your kitchen. The size of the utensils will depend on how many people are in your family. For example, a small frying pan or pot will do if you stay alone. If you are a family of four, you will need a large one.
- Frying pan (preferably with lids)
- A Saucepan
- Large pot
- Wok
- Stockpot
- Casserole dish
Invest in good materials for these cooking utensils. Cast iron, glass, and aluminium are some of the materials that are good in the long run and can be used in various cooking mediums. For example, cast iron can be used in electric, gas, and induction cooktops.
Basic kitchen appliances
Again, depending on your lifestyle and needs, you can have a list of basic kitchen appliances. These are the ones that you will find in almost all kitchens.
- Mixer/grinder
- Microwave
- Electric kettle
- Coffee maker
- Toaster
Buying all these kitchen essentials will take up a good amount kept for making your kitchen. So, you should look for an affordable kitchen sink for sale in Narre Warren and other such deals to keep the budget in control.
