An excellent meal by no means comes together devoid of some sort of plan. Appropriate tools and equipment, coupled with planning and hard work, help to make the perfect delicious meal. The cooking process is an art form and it needs specific tools much in the same manner as a carpenter needs particular devices to make spectacular fabrications out of wood. Sometimes cooking equipment is fairly priced and sometimes it is over the top, falling into three distinct categories: pots and pans, utensils and miscellaneous. You don’t need to purchase all the kitchen tools you may ultimately need all at once, and you can focus on those items you can utilize immediately.
For inexperienced cooks, avoid cast-iron and opt for two, weighted, aluminum, large skillets (10 inch and 12 inch). You may also want one 16-quart pot and lid, several saucepans and lids (one 3 cup size, one 1/2 quart size, and one 4 quart size), a couple of roasting pans (at a minimum one 9 X 13 metal), an 8 or 9-inch square metal baking pan, and a steamer insert.

A non-stick, 9 x 13 baking pan produces great brownies and single layer cakes and a baking/cookie sheet with no edges is also an essential thing to have in your kitchen’s repertoire of equipment. This 9 x 13 pan can also create such classics as macaroni and cheese and scalloped potatoes. Non-stick bake-ware will last a long time if you make sure to always clean it by hand in water that is soapy and tepid.
Plastic or wooden utensils instead of those made of metal are recommended to get the longest life out of your cookware. You will also have to have a whisk, spatula, measuring cups, wooden spoons, and brushes for spreading oil and sauces, etc. Although some chefs like wood and others prefer plastic, all agree that a cutting board is critical to the cooking experience. No kitchen is complete without a good set of knives for food preparation. If you can only afford one, buy an 8-inch chef knife, which is an all-purpose blade which can be used for chopping or slicing. Other knives, for instance a longer one with a serrated edge, and a few small paring knives with blades that measure three to four inches are also needed. Knives don’t stay sharp by themselves and will necessitate a blade sharpener.
Some kitchen tools to consider that might fall into the miscellaneous category include: colander, timer, metal racks, box grater, melon baller, rolling pin, ricer, vegetable peeler, and a can opener. You may also want to buy a food processor, blender, and electric mixer. Learning to cook properly can be a process that must be learned a little bit at a time. As you get better and more comfortable with your cooking abilities, the world will become your cooking appliance oyster.
