KITCHEN UTENSILS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL HOME COOK
As a keen home cook and kitchen aficionado you will always hear, at weekends and in the evenings, the staccato sound of chopping, the sizzle and bubble of the pans and the organized clatter utensils, pots and pans emanating from my kitchen. I now have a good range of kitchen equipment to create this symphony of sound - but this was not always the way.
Quality Kitchenware is King
When I bought my first flat and finances were tight, I fitted out my late 1980’s kitchen in the then-in vogue, red and black tools and kitchen accessories -which although looked quite good at the time, but were of poor quality and have all been replaced over the years.
My lesson was learnt after visiting the kitchen of a chef friend who showed me the quality and consideration he had taken in the purchasing of the
Impressive collection of his cookware.
It became immediately clear to me that by buying the best quality kitchen equipment I could afford, I could ensure that cooking and entertaining would become a lot easier, faster and fun.
Below is my essential kitchen tools list .
The Cutting Edge Kitchen
-Top of my list of for everyday use are my chefs cutting and chopping knives, which, as yours should be, are top quality and are sharpened regularly.
-I have a Carving Knife which is made of a forged steel blade with high carbon content [as my other knives are]
-Cutting Boards are equally important for convenience and should be well positioned. It is best to have more than one -I use a large wooden one for the big jobs and
have discovered that small plastic ones are good for the smaller regular jobs like slicing onions -and are easier to clean in the dishwasher!
- My oldest kitchen tool is a large black iron Frying Pan given to us by my wife’s Swedish grandmother, which is always great for cooking at high heat and not burning.
I find that heavier pans with a thick base are always the best.
- Build up a good range of oven proof baking and roasting trays and dishes - you can never have enough.
- A good Vegetable Peeler is useful for speed and saving -which you would cut off using a knife - no matter how sharp.
- A ceramic pestle and mortar is always surprisingly useful - I use it to crush garlic.
- Get the best and most robust wheel Can Opener -for effiency and safety.
- A wide range of steel spatulas and serving spoons - It’s no use creating a great meal if you can’t serve it efficiently!
-Scissors are a tool I did without for a long time, but are invaluable for those extra jobs like opening packaging.
Other important kitchen utensils are; tongs, whisks, a simple steel grater, a bread knife and anything which is labour saving in the type of cooking you do.
There’s no use in spending a fortune on a designer lemon squeezer you hardly use, when you do all you whisking with a serving fork!
After you have the core equipment - then you can have fun with the kitchen gadgets and accessories.

Organizing your Kitchen: Practical Ideas in Keeping your Kitchen in Order by Andrew Dalton
The kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in your whole house. Not only is this the place where the food is prepared every meal but it also serves other purposes such as a receiving area for guests and a homework area for the kids. With this fact alone, it is greatly important that this space is kept always under control and organized. This task may seem impossible especially if you spend almost all of your time in this part of the house. But fortunately, there are many approaches and methods you can do to solve this problem. Here are some of them:
* One of the simplest tasks you can do to organize your kitchen and refrigerator is to basically store accompanying kitchen utensils and items together. For example, store your dishes near your dishwasher; put your pots and pans near the stove and place paper towel holders and towels near each other. This makes sense as it will save you lots of time and effort rather than searching for them one by one every time you need them.
* Packing leftovers can be a bothersome job most especially if you always walk back and forth between the sink and refrigerator to clean the dishes. To save energy, you should place wraps such as Aluminum Foil in between these two areas.
* Hanging things in the kitchen is a wonderful way of organizing kitchen utensils and at the same time maximizes your storage space. Pots and pans should be placed over the stove. You can also make use of hooks and hanging baskets to add that much needed space above. Aside from these wall spaces, you can also place hanging racks at the back of your kitchen door for items such as aprons and pot holders.
* Kitchen item such as cutting boards, knives and other similar utensils are most often used in preparing food. They are best placed in a section of your kitchen where there is a clear counter top you can work in and at the same time is near the sink. This accessible space can work best for you because you can drop the used utensils readily into the sink as soon as you are done with them.
* There may be cases in which you need to store more than one kind of utensil or tool in one particular drawer or space. To work this effectively for you, you can make use of drawer divider that can create sections for each type of utensil. This will keep you from spending too much time in searching through a whole lot of tools every time it is needed.
* Cooking utensils such as spatulas, stirring spoons and other similar utensils will need to be positioned near the stove. It will create a lot of hassle if these items are placed in drawers and hard to reach areas. As you will most likely use these every time you cook, why not place them in a porcelain jar near the counter top beside your paper towel holders.
The kitchen is a flexible area of your home which can serve many purposes. As this space can both serve as a food preparation and entertainment area, it always needs to be presentable and organized. Therefore, to effectively keep it controlled and always in tiptop shape, you need to utilize these organizing tips which can make your kitchen life a whole lot easier.
