Ultimate Kitchen Essentials: Must-Have Tools & Appliances

Whether you’ve settled into your first home or are looking to fill gaps with a few staple essentials, there are certain things your kitchen simply cannot go without. Read on to discover your must-have kitchen tools and appliances.

Microwave

Microwaves are one the most convenient kitchen appliances on the market. Able to heat food up in mere seconds, these machines are a quick and easy way to cook your dinners.

Dishwashers

We all know how time-consuming washing up by hand can be. Dishwashers can make the process of cleaning plates and cutlery so much easier - all you need to do is rinse your plates, place them in the machine and you’re good to go.

A quality set of pans

A good set of pans are essential for all your cooking endeavours. You’ll need a couple of good quality, stainless steel saucepans with lids (preferably in two different sizes so you can stack them if necessary), as well as some of the best induction pans. It’s also wise to have a non-stick frying pan on hand for when you need it.

A matching toaster and kettle

A matching toaster and kettle add a charming touch to your kitchen, in addition to serving as classic home essentials. Opting for a timeless style means they’ll stand the test of time as trends change over the years.

A good set of knives

You’ll need to use knives every day, so buying a reliable pack will save you a lot of washing up effort. A chef’s knife, paring knife and serrated bread knife are likely to be the most useful to you. To ensure the longevity of your knives, avoid putting them in the dishwasher and learn how to use a knife sharpener.

Chopping board

One of the most basic tools you need in your kitchen is a good chopping board. You’ll be using it every time you cook so it’s important to choose one that’s durable and well designed.

Oven mitts

Oven mitts are used in order to protect your hands from being burned when transferring hot food to and from the oven. No longer will you have to wrap your hand in a tea towel and try not to spill your dish (or get burned) as you pull it out one handed.
