5 Cooking Equipment Items Everyone Should Own

8 / 14 / 17

Cooking is one of the most important and useful skills one must have. Humans need food in order to survive, and cooking is, of course, an essential part of the whole process. While cooking skills vary in difficulty and mastery, one can easily eat well just by learning basic cooking skills. Frying eggs, smoking fish and meat, slicing and cutting onions and other spices to add taste are some of the most basic skills that one can easily learn. However, cooking doesn’t just require skills, tools and other equipment are also necessary for the process. With that in mind, we from http://yourbestkitchen.com/ have listed 5 cooking equipment items that everyone should definitely own.

1. Knives

Knives are very important in cooking as many ingredients require them to be cut to smaller pieces in order to cook them properly. Knives are also very important in cutting or slicing onions, tomato, garlic, cucumber and other vegetables that add taste to the dish. While there are many different kinds of knives mainly because of their specialized use. We only recommend 3 knives as the most basic tools in your cooking. One is a utility knife, which will be your everyday knife, from cutting to slicing meat, fish or vegetables. Next on the list is the paring knife, which is for smaller and more precise cutting or slicing, best for fruits, vegetables and other soft ingredients. And lastly is the cleaver, which can be used for heavy and hard ingredients such as bones and hard meat.

2. Cookware

Next on the must have cooking equipment is the cookware. Cookware is where you will be cooking, pots, woks, non-stick frying pans, skillets and other cooking pots. There are many kinds of cookware available in the store – we recommend the stainless steel pots and woks as it will not rust and lighter compared to other materials. As for pans, we strongly recommend non-stick frying pans as you won’t have to deal with ingredients sticking to the pan and ruining your dish. As a side note, when using non-stick frying pans, you also need to use non-stick utensils as using other materials such as metal can scratch the nonstick layer of the pan.

3. Cutting Boards

To make your cutting more efficient and avoid a mess, you will need to have a steady base to do your cutting or slicing. Thus, a cutting board is definitely a must have in your kitchen. There are many types of cutting boards you can choose from. However, it is best if you use cutting boards which are made from wood as they are more natural and has the least risk of having materials that can be harmful.

4. Utensils

Turners, Ladle, Spatula, tongs, serving spoons and forks the basic utensils that you must have in order to properly cook. These utensils will allow you to turn, stir and mix the ingredients in your cooking. Having a kitchen glove can also protect your precious hands from the occasional splashes of hot oil or scratches from sharp objects.

5. Storage Bowls, Plates

And lastly, after you’re done slicing and cutting the ingredients and other pre-cooking steps, you will need some tools to store or set them aside. Thus, you will need storage bowls and plates. Plastic and ceramic storage bowls and plates are the most recommended and popular types. You can use them for any types of ingredients, hot or cold. And for the end part, you will also need the plates to present your dish and prepare it for consuming.

We’ve informed most of our customers of the said temporary closure as we’ve been having problems due to the rainy weather the past months.  The flood is the major reason why we decided to do so. We cannot compromise the freshness and safety of the food that we offer. We all knew how dirty the flood water is!

So for the meantime, we are doing some minor renovations and trying fix things around the eatery. We are thinking of elevating the flooring and do some painting on walls. Another thing, we would like to improve on the design, furniture and fixtures of our kitchen.

I am now doing some online window shopping for the kitchen essentials at  Sammy Dress, I love that this site is not only limited to fashion essentials like dresses and accessories as I though at first. It caters to different products as well like in the home, category as well.

Cooking and Kitchen Essentials

11 / 29 / 12

We live in a house with a family of two, so we typically share on most of the parts of the house except for the bedroom. But when we finally had the budget, we started on house renovation and had our very own bathroom and kitchen!

Ian and I were so excited to decorate and fill up the kitchen with all the nice accessories and essentials that we could think of 🙂 Since he really loves cooking, Oh yes, he’s the one in charge with the cooking because I am not really good at it. Tehee. We made sure that he has all the necessary cooking tools ( pots, pans, spoons,etc.)

 

For food preparation, he needs a sharp and quality made knife, like the ones that lion sabatier offers.

They are made of stainless steel and are carefully designed to fit hands, even for the small ones for a good grip. The plastic handles are durable and heat proof too. So we really need a set of it, the ones with different sizes to be used for different purposes like bread, slicing, pairing knifes.

A magnetic spice rack is also on the list, the convenience of having all your spices in one place and within your reach for easy access makes you more relaxed while cooking. Knowing that it is magnetic is an added bonus for its space saving and nice presentation purpose.Those colorful spices looks good as an accessory design for the kitchen too!

Another thing not to forget especially if you love to roast meat like the mermaid. Having a mermaid roasting rack can do the trick, for it is specially designed to fit into the  standard size of the dish and to prevent it from rolling over. It is made from stainless steel and very easy to clean up and is dishwasher safe. Roasting saves you on fat calories and perfect roasting gives you a crisp meat.

Cooking is fun especially if you got all the essential tools for you convenience while you move around in the kitchen

Coffee, Anyone?!

3 / 21 / 12

I can’t seem to remember the first time I fell in love with coffee. I guess I was about in my teens 🙂 It used to be my companion during those sleepless nights that I had to deal with my notes and books for an examination period the next days. My mom would usually make me a cup or two upon seeing me awake and studying. From there, coffee seems to be my best buddy during times I am alone and needed something to keep me up all through the night.

I used to love black one with only a little sugar and no cream or milk in it. Those were the times were the only thing we could afford is the instant coffee. Ahaha! But as times go by, my taste seeks for some changes as to flavor and aroma. I have tried out different kinds and of different mix and flavor. But I would still go from the basic when all thing seems not appealing to me anymore.

Nowadays, there are different of coffee such as cappuccino, lattes, espresso, americano and the likes. But one things’ for sure. I would like to have and made one myself. Nothing beats having a cup you made and of your choice. So I am long dreaming to have Coffee Makers by Hamilton Beach at the comfort of our home, waking up in the morning or just anytime I feel like drinking a cup of coffee and having a coffee fix at instant!

HamiltonBeach.com offers different kinds of coffee maker and I having a hard time what to choose. lol! Good thing they are all budget friendly and of quality made at the same time. Now this really caught my eye.

How about getting a taste of those cafe-like aromas at the comfort of your own home. Oh I love sippin’ such thing. Let’s have coffee, anyone?! 🙂
