Good 8″ knife & cutting mat and Y-shaped vege peeler get used daily. Add to these my 2- qrt Dutch Oven & 10″ cast iron skillet w/ lid & I can do any stove top cooking or roasting I need to do. Stick blender to puree or mash, a silicone spoonula and mesh strainer. I don’t bake sweets, so that’s all I use but have a baking dish for reheating leftovers.

With good kitchen items, it is much easier to enjoy the process of cooking and to make tasty and well prepared meals for the whole family. Fry pans, knifes, blenders… Everything can be useful in a kitchen. Some of the tools that usually get my special attention are kitchen blenders. I always recommend them.

This list is great! I agree with just about everything on it. I’d like to add a rubber spatula in addition to the silicone spatula; it works so much better for baking. I don’t know what I’d do without it!

Thank you for the tip on the baking sheets as well! The two cheap one’s I had from college recently had to go because they were rusting (which probably isn’t safe). Where does one find a restaurant supply store? Are their any store or brand names or a website you could recommend?

Something that I haven’t seen anyone mention – maybe it’s assumed, but I use it at least as much as my baking sheets: a glass 13×9 baking dish. Couldn’t live without it!

Cara- We used that exact grill when we lived in a tiny apartment, before we had a BBQ. It's great! .-= Aimee´s last blog ..For Sale By Owner: UtHC Kitchen & Surrounding House =-.

Cindy–check if there is a restaurant supply store near you. They will carry good quality knifes and don’t always have the mark up of a place like The Bay or Sears.

Good names would be Global, Mac, Henckles, and Wusthof.

I have to say my George Foreman lean mean fat reducing machine is a great item for my kitchen! I have the original version, and it works so well. I would love to upgrade to the new version because they are easier to clean, but mine still works so well! I use it at least once a week for meat, chicken, or bacon (good for fish too!) and I’m going to experiment with making paninis on it soon!
And I was happy to read everyones comments here as I am compiling a wedding registry list! Its been helpful to make sure I have the essentials on my list! Thanks!
