Frequently asked questions about kitchen utensils
What are the most commonly used kitchen utensils?
That can all depend on what you like to cook or bake, but the most used kitchen gadgets are often the most versatile. Get potato peelers that help with peeling potatoes for mashed potatoes, carrots for making stock or citrus peels for cocktails. Use cheese graters to put a dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon atop your hot cocoa or to grate dark chocolate into a mole sauce, as well as grating parmesan atop pasta dishes. Stir and taste any sauce or stew you make with spoons, toss salads and turn steaks with tongs or measure ingredients for baking or cooking anything with the exactness of digital cooking scales.
Which kitchen tools are the most essential?
Kitchen knives, spoons, ladles and spatulas are what first comes to mind for many. But you can’t stir some ingredients if you can’t get them out of the can, so you’ll need a can opener. Have a ton of vegetables to prep? Kitchen shears sure could come in handy then, along with a mandolin, especially for delicate slicing. While corkscrews are essential for one purpose, for instance, the convenience and versatility of certain kitchen tools can quickly make you see them as essential.
