Add a grater. After that, what you cook will help you determine what you need such as whisks, ladles, etc. at a Goodwill and these items cost less than a buck each.

A baking or casserole dish Great for casseroles, lasagna, quiches, pot pies, brownies or small cakes, plus even roasting a chicken, a small yet heavy baking dish is a great place to start when cooking for one or two people.

You can use an oven mitt as a trivet, too, once something hot has to go onto a table. In addition to preventing food from going to waste, you can also store foods you can buy in bulk, such as cereal, spices, flour, sugar, oatmeal, nuts, spices, etc.

Plus, a glass jar is great for making vinaigrette. When on a budget, no food should be left to spoil as wasted food is wasted money. Pouring ,rather than ladeling, liquids make you a tidier cook. You often need more than a cup of liquid measured. Or, undercook that roast chicken.

No one likes pink poultry. Great investment. I agree wholeheartedly. I love my pressure cooker, and wish I had gotten it when the family was younger. Very quick way to cook favor-filled meals. The cookers they make now are much safer than those made decades ago.

There are some very good cookbooks out there for pressure cooking too—check them out! Hey Kat — Great list! Yes, a digital thermometer really takes the guess work out of cooking meats.

Dutch oven for braising. Good stockpot. Could not live without either. Eggs: 14 cents per serving for Grade-A Eggs are a good source of protein with about six grams per serving. Add a poached or fried egg over vegetables for taste and protein.

Peanut Butter: 19 cents per serving Peanut butter is easy to work into meals and snacks: Spread on apple slices in the fall, or mix with soy sauce and sriracha for a peanut noodle sauce.

Beans: 38 cents per serving dried, any type Pinto and black beans can be very affordable if you cook them yourself — soaking, boiling, then simmering until tender — but this takes time. Canned beans can be cooked quickly and are less expensive than other protein sources.

Chicken Stock: 72 cents per serving Cook rice, quinoa, and grits with chicken stock instead of water for a richer flavor. You also can use beef or vegetable stock. Garlic: 2 cents per serving A head of garlic is less expensive than minced garlic that comes in a jar but has a shorter shelf life.

Having a few basics on hand such as cayenne pepper, ground cumin, and curry powder, or a mixture can help spice up plain dishes. Though herbs and spices can be pricey, the seeds are inexpensive and easy to grow — and gardening is a good outdoor activity for families.

For baked goods, a neutral-tasting vegetable oil is best. For savory dishes, the earthy flavor of olive oil could enhance your meal.

Note: Price per serving is estimated using data from the U. But to start out, grab this one from Jonathan.

We also liked the FAAY A well-made set of tongs is like a heatproof extension of your own fingers, which is why we did a deep dive into the best tongs out there. With solid construction, slip-resistant grips ever try to grab onto a pair of stainless-steel-only tongs with greasy fingers?

Flexible enough to flip delicate pieces of fish without breaking them, yet sturdy enough to scrape a burger off the bottom of your pan without missing a morsel, a fish spatula is something you'll find in the knife kit of every professional chef, and it's one of the most indispensable tools in the kitchen.

It's also ideal for blotting excess grease off of cooked steaks and chops: Just pick up the meat from the skillet, pat it with a paper towel no need to remove it from the spatula first , and transfer it directly to the serving plate.

The wide slots in the spatula allow grease to drain off easily. We reviewed some of the best fish spatulas on the market and found the offering from Wusthof was lightweight and easy to maneuver, slipping gently under fragile foods without disturbing other items in the pan.

We also liked the option from Lamson , if you're a lefty. This is a very different beast from a fish spatula, or from the wider turner you might use with your nonstick skillet. Rather than turning and flipping with it, it's what you'll grab for scraping out every drop of custard, batter, or sauce from the inside of a pot or bowl.

We recommend having a few on hand. We found it to be the most efficient and easy-to-use mill we tested for our review of the best pepper grinders , quickly crushing peppercorns to a fine powder.

Plus, it looks damn good on the table. It may look suspiciously like a unitasker, but a salad spinner, much like Liam Neeson, brings a very particular set of skills to the table.

A good-quality one, like the Zyliss Swift Dry Salad Spinner —a top pick from our best salad spinner review —makes quick work of drying out herbs and leafy vegetables, without which process your salad greens are destined to be a mess every time: wet, limp, unappealing, and sadly resistant to harmonious interaction with their dressing.

Yes, you can spread out your greens to dry on a baking sheet or clean kitchen towel instead, but that's a far more time-consuming method.

The real reason this item is a must: Despite its unitasker feel, its interior basket can double as a colander—for cold foods only! When making stocks, sauces, and creamy, smooth soups , you need a tool that can remove all those bits and pieces of aromatics without fuss.

That tool is the simple, humble strainer, which should be rust-resistant, and fit snugly over your bowls and pots check for hooks on the rim that will allow it to do just that. There's so much you can do with a strainer. Squeeze out seed- and flesh-free citrus juice, poach perfect eggs , sift flour, steam vegetables, and more.

And, of course, your strainer can also serve as a colander for draining pasta and the like, a nice hot-foods counterpart to your salad spinner. After reviewing fine mesh strainers, our favorite was an admittedly pricey option from Rösle; it did all of these tasks and more and was durable and just a great overall strainer.

Every kitchen needs at least one vegetable peeler , and, if you're a regular reader of this site, you'll know by now that our peeler of choice is a Y-peeler. Each of these Kuhn Rikon Y-peelers is outfitted with a carbon steel blade, which stays sharper longer than a stainless steel one.

The broad handle is more comfortable than the slender one on many swivel-blade models. They're even colorful. What more convincing do you need? It's true that beating egg whites and whipping cream is made much easier with the help of a stand mixer or a handheld electric mixer , but if you're still saving up for one, a good old-fashioned whisk-and-bowl combination works, too.

For pastry applications, look for an all-stainless construction, that won't impart off-flavors to highly acidic recipes, like jam, Key lime pie filling, or lemon curd. For more general use, a balloon design , in which the tines form a fairly open cage, will minimize the clumping of sauces and batters in the whisk's crevices.

Our favorites—by GIR and OXO—were comfortable to hold and did a great job whisking pastry cream, egg whites, whipped cream, and more. For more information on what types of whisks to use and when, read about how to choose the right whisk here. A paring knife can't do too much that a chef's knife can't, but, after your chef's knife, it's the chopping tool you'll likely reach for most often.

For small tasks, like halving lemons or mincing shallots, or tasks that require closer attention to detail, its size, and light weight make it a more convenient choice. You'll also inevitably find yourself using it for some other, more offbeat purposes—it makes a fine cake tester in a pinch.

As with a bread knife, it's not necessary to invest too much cash in a paring knife. In our review of the best paring knives , the Victorinox 3. It's affordable, plenty sharp, and comfortable to hold. And if you bake regularly, whether you're making your own pizza dough or a special-occasion coconut cake , there's no question that you need one.

We don't always recommend measuring by mass or weight , but using volume alone doesn't take into account varying density among ingredients, and baking demands a higher level of precision. In some important ways, it also makes measuring easier, since you don't need to juggle a whole set of spoons and cups in different sizes—just set a single large vessel on the scale, tare it, add flour until you hit the right number, dump it out into your mixing bowl, and repeat with the next ingredient.

Plus, scaling a recipe up or down is way simpler when you have grams to work with, as opposed to figuring out the ratio between a third of a cup and two teaspoons.

After testing a lot of kitchen scales and even before, TBH , our top choice is the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Food Scale which has a backlit pull-out display, fine accuracy and precision, and a removable stainless steel weighing surface.

If that price is a bit above your budget, this minimalist scale from Escali will suit you just fine. A knife can handle most of your kitchen cutting work, but you're going to hate opening packages with it, especially while there's a pot of water boiling over or a pan of oil getting too hot on the stove.

While a pair of standard scissors will solve that problem, it won't cut it, literally, when you're trying to break down a chicken.

These heavy-duty kitchen shears from Shun can do that. You can read more about them in our review of the best shears. The quick takeaway: They're perfect for cutting and snipping, and the built-in flathead screwdriver, nutcracker, and bottle opener don't hurt either. If you're like us, you'll be using your bench scraper to move piles of chopped vegetables from board to bowl, or board to skillet.

Or to scrape your board clean of scraps and residue before you start another round of chopping. Or to cut a lasagna into neat squares.

The more food you prepare with it, the less you'll be able to get along without it. What's true for rectangular baking dishes is true here, too: It may not be worthy of a Martha Stewart photo shoot, but in our review, we found a simple metal pie plate conducts heat more quickly to your crust, producing more beautifully golden, crisp, and flaky results than any fancy-pants ceramic model.

It's also quite cheap, so you can stock up if you like pie over a cake. Quick breads are a great way for novices to try their hand at baking, but a loaf pan is also handy for making meatloaf, pound cake, or simple yeasted loaves.

The below loaf pan is made from aluminized steel, which is long-lasting, rust-resistant, and helpfully nonstick. As we mentioned above, in addition to an oven thermometer, a probe thermometer is super useful. For sweet projects, Stella is passionate about her Polder digital thermometer we also love the ThermoWorks ChefAlarm , which offers a whole slew of features: ultra-fast reading times, ideal for candy recipes that require exceptionally precise timing; a clip-on attachment, so you can test temperature hands-free; and temp alert settings, letting you keep track of your custards if you happen to walk out of the kitchen.

The probe allows you to use it on roasts and for deep-fry oil , too. Sure, a wine bottle can work in a pinch, but to get perfectly flaky pie crust and other baked goods, we highly recommend an actual rolling pin, like our winning French pin or dowel-style pin , both from J.

Need more rolling pin—related guidance? Here's our guide to choosing the best rolling pin for your baking needs. If that price is a little too steep, our budget pick, by Hamilton Beach , keeps up pretty well with the All-Clad, and can even crush its way through ice.

Our list above details everything you need if you're looking to become a kitchen whiz, but TLDR: a chef's knife, peeler, cutting board, blender, set of pots, and a Dutch oven won't steer you wrong.

While there is some merit to more pricey items being of better quality like Dutch ovens , a lot of essential kitchen gear doesn't have to break the bank. Even kitchen storage solutions like these plastic shoe box containers won't set you back much, either.

You have to take better care of this cutting board than our plastic recommendation; by cleaning it immediately after use and avoiding the dishwasher.

This is a 5-in-1 can opener that pulls tabs, crowns caps, unscrews tops, and opens jar lids and cans safely, easily, and cleanly. We have one of these beauties in our kitchen Mealime green, of course and it is an absolute pleasure to use. We actually look forward to opening cans, believe it or not.

Measuring cups are used for precisely measuring the volume of liquid or solid cooking ingredients. You may not think that measuring cups can be anything special. Any set will do, right? Well as it turns out, great design can extend all the way down to measuring cups. This stackable set of measuring cups from Kitchenmade has all sorts of smart features that eliminates the small frustrations that measuring cups often bring about.

Pick these up today and never replace your measuring cups again. Measuring spoons are used to precisely measure smaller amounts of liquid or solid cooking ingredients than measuring cups. This set of 5 stainless steel measuring spoons from Prepworks contains measurements of ¼ tsp all the way up to 1 tbsp.

After testing different measuring spoons, we settled on this set ourselves and use them in our kitchen every single day. Highly recommended! For mixing together salad dressings, spice rubs, marinades, sauces, and even for storing leftovers, a set of high-quality mixing bowls is a must. Plus, these bowls stack easily for simple storage.

For draining pasta or washing vegetables and salad greens, a colander is an essential piece for your minimalist kitchen. No multi-tasking here, but this is a high quality peeler that will stand the test of time. Although a potato masher is a great tool, it usually has a very inconvenient and bulky shape that makes closing your drawer difficult.

We chose this flip potato masher from Prepara for a few important reasons. Third, it has only 5 star reviews on Amazon and is very highly recommended. This 9-inch whisk from OXO Good Grips fits great in the hand and is perfect for whisking together salad dressings, sauces, eggs, desserts, and much more.

A salad spinner is your best friend when it comes to having a crisp salad. Made by OXO Good Grips, this salad spinner can be used by simply pressing the button on the top.

We especially love this salad spinner because the strainer basket can be used for draining pasta and the bowl for serving. So what does this mean, exactly? It meals choosing multi-purpose tools and avoiding single-purpose tools whenever possible.

Instead of purchasing different types of graters, a zester, and a chiffonade, why not choose one tool that can do it all?

This 7-in-1 box grater from Cuisipro can grate citrus, fine, coarse, ultra-coarse, parmesan, shave, slice and even has a ginger grater. For cutting up a whole chicken and other meats, to vegetables, to stripping herbs, to even cutting the stems off of flowers, these kitchen and herb shears from OXO Good Grips are fantastic.

The blades even separate for easy cleaning. With reviews and a 5 star rating, these shears are a fantastic value and deserve a spot in your kitchen. Juicing a lemon or lime is one of those tasks! It fits lemons, limes, and oranges, and makes squeezing juice a joy.

We still have this garlic press from Kuhn Rikon but use it less than we used to. Basically, a garlic press is nice to have and does make crushing garlic easier. A paring knife is a kitchen knife with a short blade that can be used for a multitude of tasks.

You can peel and chop with it, and the small tip is great for fine work like coring strawberries or similar. This workhorse of a knife deserves a spot in your kitchen. For a much cheaper alternative, the Victorinox 4 inch paring knife is a great buy.

A bread knife is a serrated knife that is typically used for wait for it slicing bread. A high quality bread knife can also be used for slicing delicate items like cakes or pastry's.

A cheaper, yet high quality alternative that we use most frequently in our home , is the Victorinox Contrary to popular belief, most honing rods don't actually sharpen your blade. Because this honing rod is made of hard ceramic, however, it is capable of both sharpening and honing your knives.

It works especially well with our recommended chef's knife pick the Global G2 , because Global knives are made of harder steel than their German counterparts. You can still purchase a sharpener shown below , but this ceramic honing rod is all that we use to maintain our Global knives, and it works like a charm.

What more could you want? A stainless steel skillet will likely be the workhorse of your kitchen. You will be using this cookware for frying, searing, sautéing, and browning, among other functions. Plus, it comes at a fantastic price for the quality. Highly recommended. Highly, highly recommended.

A saute pan is different from a skillet in a couple of important ways. This makes it easier to cook sauces and sear and braise meat than a skillet. Just like the other All Clad picks in this article, we chose this pan because of its high quality construction, fantastic reviews, and made in USA quality guarantee.

For small portion cooking of soups, stews, pastas or sauces, a lightweight and easy to handle saucepan is necessary. Suffice to say, this small saucepan is fantastic value and is a high quality item that will last you as long as your cooking career lasts which we hope is a very long time!

You'll notice by now that we recommend All Clad products for most of our premium recommended picks. Their made in USA high-quality construction and beautiful design sets them apart from their competitors, but their prices are set to match their quality.

Choose this small saucepan if you want the best quality cookware that money can buy. Just like most of our recommended cookware options we suggest purchasing from the same line, this 4-quart Multiclad Pro series saucepan from Cuisineart is our recommended pick for your medium saucepan needs.

It is dishwasher and oven safe and can even be put under the oven broiler. Our premium medium saucepan pick is by All Clad. It is made in the USA from stainless steel and has nothing but glowing reviews from its 5 star rating on Amazon.

This large pot is perfect for cooking pasta, large dishes, or even for making your own broth. It is dishwasher and oven safe even on broil and was designed with simple pouring in mind. Pick up this "steal of a deal" pot and relax knowing you purchased a high-quality item at a fantastic price.

Cast iron skillets have been workhorses in kitchens all over the world for over 2, years. The best part? Our recommended cast iron skillet is made of high-quality materials in the USA and is very reasonably priced! Grill pans have gained popularity in recent years. And why not? For summer dishes like burgers, roasted salmon, meatballs, and marinated vegetables, a grill pan is a must.

It creates tantalizing grill lines in your food, just like a barbecue does. We used to recommend Lodge's cast iron grill pan, but we found ourselves not using it because of its weight and how difficult it was to clean. We now recommend this non-stick inch grill pan from Calphalon and we couldn't be happier.

It's easy to use, affordable, and a snap to clean. A baking sheet pan or sheet pan, baking tray, baking sheet is a flat, rectangular metal pan that is used for roasting and baking food in the oven.

We use two of these sheets in our kitchen while testing new recipes. After plenty of use, they still look great and perform perfectly. A muffin pan is a baking pan with 6 or 12 built-in cups.

Besides making muffins, they are great for individual quiches and on-the-go breakfast cups. We recommend the Oxo Good Grips Pro Muffin Pan because the Swiss-engineered, ceramic-reinforced, two-layer coating allows for easy food release. The heavy-gauge aluminized steel promotes even heat distribution.

A casserole dish is a large, deep dish with high edges that is used for baking or serving. For those lazy times you want to throw a one-dish meal into the oven like lasagna or a casserole , a quality casserole dish is a must. This casserole dish from HIC is made of fine white porcelain and is broiler, microwave, and dishwasher safe.

That means that a lazy one-dish meal also is simple to clean. What could be better? A broiler pan is a rectangular metal pan for use under the high-heat broiler in the oven. Broiling is great when you want your food to get a nice brown crusty top.

Our experience with this broiler pan from Range Kleen is that it is sturdy and easy to clean you can even throw it in the dishwasher.

Plus, this pan is super inexpensive. A stockpot is a very large pot usually 12 quarts that is ideal for homemade broth or large portions of soups. Anytime you want to make an extra large meal is also a great reason to use a stock pot. this is not an essential item for a minimalist kitchen. Our recommendation is this quart stockpot from Cuisineart's Multiclad Pro line.

Our premium pick is this quart stockpot from All Clad. It is made in the USA and comes with the high quality guarantee that covers all All Clad purchases. Once again, this is an optional option, but if you often make stock, broth, and soups, this is a great premium pick.

A spatula is a small cooking implement with a wide, flat, flexible blade that is used for mixing, spreading, and turning. Tovolo has done a wonderful job with their line of stainless steel and silicon cooking implements. This small kitchen item is a joy to use and is very reasonably priced for the quality.

Going back to the wonderful design of Tovolo products, their stirring spoon is just as good as their slotted spatula. This stirring spoon from Tovolo one will do great! This large spoon, featuring slots or holes for draining liquid, helps to make cooking easier and safer.

It is perfect to use when removing something from a pan while leaving the yummy juices behind. We love that the Oxo Good Grips Silicone Slotted Spoon is safe to use on our non-stick cookware. For easily flipping meats and vegetables, a good pair of tongs that can handle all kinds of different sized foods is a must.

This pair of tongs from Zyliss is beautifully designed. You can operate them with only one hand, and everything is done ergonomically and with sturdy construction.

We have two of them for some reason, but one is all you need! A ladle is essentially a very large, long-handled spoon. It is used for serving liquid dishes like soups, stews, or sauces.

Oven mitts are used in order to protect your hands from being burned when transferring hot food to and from the oven. No longer will you have to wrap your hand in a tea towel and try not to spill your dish or get burned as you pull it out one handed.

Our recommended oven mitts from Kitchen Elements are made of silicone with a cotton interior and are dishwasher safe. Plus, they can be cleaned very easily and even look stylish! Whether you choose to purchase our recommended pick or another option, make sure you have quality oven mitts before beginning any high-heat oven cooking.

A good pair of oven mitts is a must have for any kitchen. Instead of ugly cloth trivets that get stained easily, pick up these beautiful bamboo trivets that will last a long time and are easy to clean. A splatter guard is a device that is placed on top of skillets or sauté pans during high heat cooking in order to stop splattering hot oil and food from coating your stovetop.

How many times have you had to clean your oven top and cupboards from splattering grease and oil? With this fine mesh splatter guard from Progressive International , these clean up days are over.
