What basic kitchenware does every kitchen need?

Building a functional kitchen starts with these core items:

Cookware & bakeware

  • Pots and pans set: Include a variety of saucepans, frying pans (skillets), and a stockpot. Consider materials like stainless steel, non-stick, or cast iron based on your cooking style.
  • Baking sheets & roasting pan: For cookies, roasted vegetables, and meats.
  • Casserole dishes: Versatile for baking, roasting, and serving.

Tools & utensils

  • Knife set: A good chef's knife, paring knife, and serrated knife are fundamental.
  • Cutting boards: Have separate boards for raw meats and produce.
  • Measuring cups & spoons: Essential for accurate cooking and baking.
  • Mixing bowls: A set of various sizes is indispensable.
  • Utensil set: Includes spatulas, ladles, whisks, and cooking spoons.

Food storage & small appliances

  • Food storage containers: For leftovers and meal prepping.
  • Kettle & toaster: Daily conveniences for many households.

How do I choose the right cookware?

When building your dream kitchen repertoire, you should consider your cooking habits, cooking skills, cooktop type (gas, electric, induction), and budget.

  • Non-stick: Great for beginners and low-fat cooking, easy to clean.
  • Stainless steel: Durable, heats evenly, excellent for searing.
  • Cast iron: Retains heat exceptionally well, perfect for searing, frying, and even baking. Requires seasoning.
  • Copper: Excellent heat conductivity, but often more expensive and requires maintenance.

Make sure to also look out for comfortable handles, tight-fitting lids, and oven-safe options if you plan to transfer dishes from the stovetop to your oven.
