Novelty nutcracker
Corncob holders
Reusable condiment bottles
Impractically large castiron fork and spoon
Apple core remover
Buy your basics at a restaurant supply store. You'll save money and get better quality.
This + towels
Don't forget this fundamental essential!
The first post already kinda nailed it, but I'd also suggest a spatula and wood mixing spoons.
Thanks anons, you guys are alright
Moving from Wisconsin to Louisiana
I do a lot of stir fry because I'm chink
good post
don't forget the banana case
Kettle.
Got to prioritize here.
I know it's for advertising but they always have the most generic line up in the photos for kegerators and beer refrigerators.
Pots and pans:
1 large pot for boiling pasta water, potatoes, corn-on-the-cob, soups, stews, and stocks
2-3 small/ medium pots for cooking smaller quantities of vegetables and sauces
1-2 large skillets with lids for sauteing and pan-frying
(optional) 1-2 small/ medium skillets for sauteing and pan-frying a second component of a dish at the same time
1 colander for draining pasta and draining canned vegetables
2-3 mixing bowls of various sizes for mashed potatoes and dough
Knives:
1 chef knife. That's it. That's all you really need.
1-2 cutting boards
(1st optional) 1 paring knife for close detail work
(2nd optional) 1 bread knife for slicing fresh loaves
Measurement:
1 set of dry measuring cups
1 large wet measuring cup
1 set of measuring spoons
General tools:
1 can opener
1 whisk
1 potato masher
1-2 spatulas
1-2 ladles for soups, sauces, and gravies.
1 set of tongs
1 vegetable peeler
2-3 cheese graters, various sizes
Notes:
The lids on your frying pans don't just keep your stovetop clean from spattering grease. They're there in case something catches on fire in the skillet. DO NOT dump water on a grease fire. Put the lid on to smother the flame and grab a fire extinguisher.
Memes aside, what are some actual good fun gadgets?
Sorry man, former alcoholic, not gonna risk that again
Definitely get a bread maker, there is nothing like waking up in the morning and the kitchen smelling like freshly baked bread
Should I get a electric grill guis
what is a chef knife, does a cleaver qualify as a chef knife? or are we talking a long nonserrated vegetable cutter

THERE'S A PRO VERSION??!
can't live without it.
Get one of these mini oven/stove things.
Induction preferably if you can afford it.
Or you might actually get a real oven if you are planning to stay.
What is that, a tortilla-to-taco converter?
Keep it minimal. Don't go out and spend 500$ on a bunch of shit you may hardly ever use.
Buy the basics and acquire the rest over time as you need them.
OP here, bought a wok. What's the best way I should season it?
