Any good home chef needs a well-stocked, functional kitchen. That starts with your kitchen appliances, including a reliable stove or oven, a high-power microwave, and a spacious refrigerator and dishwasher. If you’re cooking for a busy family quick meal prep is essential. At minimum you’ll want a blender and a food processor, and a stand mixer when time allows for baking. A juicer can whip up healthy smoothies, and an air fryer can turn out healthy meals in a jiffy. For set-and-forget convenience, consider adding a crock pot to your kitchen tools. Durable bakeware and cookware are also must-haves. This means a complete set of pots and pans, plus a cast iron skillet for searing, and a roasting pot for large cuts of meat.
A great meal deserves to be presented in proper style. All cutlery and dinnerware should be matching, including plates, cups and saucers. Wine glasses, tumblers and other drinkware should also be consistent. Be sure to have some food storage containers on hand for preserving leftovers. If you’re interested in long-term food preservation, make some room in your pantry for canning, pickling, and fermenting supplies.
