Having Proper Equipment

It's all well and good to have a well stocked pantry, along with the best-quality ingredients in your kitchen, but if you don't have quality kitchen tools to cook with you might as well stop now and order take-out. Just kidding, but seriously having the proper equipment can be the difference between a good meal and a great meal. Here is a list of must needs in your kitchen:
  1. Knives --- Good Quality. I like MAC and Wusthof and keep them sharpened.
  2. Sharpening Stones
  3. Spatulas (Rubber, Flat & Fish)
  4. Wooden Spoons
  5. Cutting Boards
  6. Box Grater
  7. Half Sheet Trays 
  8. Silpat (At least one)
  9. Wire Whisk
  10. Measuring Cups 
  11. Measuring Spoons
  12. Pastry Brush
  13. Tongs 
  14. Mixing Bowls
  15. Spice Grinder
  16. Kitchen Twine
  17. Mandolin Slicer 
  18. Food Processor
  19. Kitchen-Aid Mixer
  20. Immersion Blender
  21. Grill Pan
  22. Pots and Pans --- Spend money on good quality pots and pans. I like All-Clad and Le-Creuset. They are both very expensive, but last forever. Sometimes you can find both these brands at places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls. It's worth the money. Trust me.
