Be the queen of Kitchen
With competition in kitchen tools and cookware sets' manufacturing, you have a cooking tool for every requirement. Some manufacturers have gone a step further - they have manufactured multi-purpose cooking tools which perform the function of multiple tools. With all this, some people ask - which are the basic cooking tools and which ones are used on occasions?
Most people follow the ideology which gets passed on by generations. Also, importance of cooking tools changes with change in geographical location, food tastes and method of cooking. Still, it can be safely stated that some kitchen tools are used more often than others, hence these should be bought first. Some basic cooking tools are discussed below but the list can be edited according to your requirements.
Knifes
It is an important cooking tool and hence these are used quite often. Knifes are used for slicing, cutting, chopping but people do customize its usage as well. While buying, hold it to check the convenience. Buy at least a pair of knifes for ease. A butcher knife along with a utility knife is required for every kitchen.
Cutting Board
It is a playground for knifes. You can chop, cut, and slice almost anything on a cutting board. It is also called a chopping board as it is mostly used for chopping. These are wooden boards with 2 legs. Use 2 separate boards for cutting vegetables and chopping meat if possible. You need to choose chopping boards according to your convenience. No need to spend much on chopping boards; local made ones boards work fine.
Spoons
Unlike what is thought, spoons are not only used while eating, these are used for cooking as well. Wooden spoons are popular (as wood is a bad conductor of heat so holding it is easy) while frying/cooking. Serving spoons are also used often.
Pans
Frying pans and sauté pans are commonly used while cooking, frying and roasting. A variety of tasks like making omelets, preparing sauces, roasting meat and other such activities can be done using pans while cooking.
Lastly, soup ladles are also commonly used kitchen tools which can be bought without spending much money.
