Must-Have Cooking Utensils for Every Kitchen
When it comes to specialty kitchen tools, home chefs can pick and choose what they need depending on what recipes they want to tackle. But there are some basic utensils that should be in every kitchen, regardless of skill level.
- Spatulas are high on the list of must-haves thanks to their versatility in mixing, spreading, scraping and more.
- Food turners are wonderful for food prep. They are available for multi-purpose use or for more specific foods, such as fish fillets.
- Tongs are another important kitchen tool that can be used far beyond just a backyard grill. A good pair of kitchen tongs will go from food preparation to serving in a jiffy.
- Sur La Table utensil set includes brushes, ladles, spoons, turners and skimmers—just about everything you need to get cooking in the kitchen.
- A kitchen brush is also a great kitchen utensil option to have on hand, especially if you frequently baste meats or need to brush butter on pastries and breads.
- Ladles and spoons are must-haves to have on hand both in the kitchen and in the dining room.
