What are the best Knives (style not brand) to have around the kitchen. Also the best gadgets. I want to have a nice kitchen with all the needed utensiles to prepare the most amazing food that I can.
Get a good chef’s knife, paring knife, a boning knife if you are going to be filletting poultry & fish, and a serrated bread knife for slicing bread as well as tomatoes. A santoku knife is great for chopping. A slicing knife is not necessary to start, but you may eventually want one. Also a pair of kitchen scissors which come apart for ease in cleaning. Also a sharpening steel to keep your blades sharp.
Other tools that are a must: box grater, peeler, citrus zester, two cutting boards ( one for meat, poultry & fish only and one which can be wood for everything else), a two cup liquid measuring cup, a set of dry measure cups, measuring spoons, mixing spoons, a whisk, a stick blender which also has an attachment you can add to make a mini food processor, a rolling pin, a three tined (granny fork), a two tined meat fork, a stainless steel mixing bowl, a few small ramekins, a mortar & pestle or coffee grinder to grind your own spices, spatulas, a sifter, a strainer, and a colander.
Except for a Kitchenaid stand mixer, I find electrical appliances to be superfluous as I would rather use the space they take up as a work space.
Bon appetite!
