Top Picks For New Kitchen Essentials
FAQ List
For beginners, some essential kitchen tools include a chef's knife, cutting board, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, and a set of basic utensils like a spatula and whisk.
Induction stoves require cookware that is magnetic and has a flat bottom. Look for cookware made from materials such as stainless steel or cast iron, as they work best on induction stoves.
To care for your non-stick cookware, avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface. Hand wash the cookware with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes.
Cast iron skillets are known for their excellent heat retention and even heat distribution. They can be used on the stovetop or in the oven and are great for searing, frying, and baking.
There are different types of cutting boards, including wood, bamboo, and plastic. Wood and bamboo boards are gentle on knife blades and have natural antimicrobial properties. Plastic boards are easier to clean and can be used for specific food types to prevent cross-contamination.
