So I’m British and it’s essential for all brits to have an electric kettle pretty much what with all the tea consumption. But I use it a gazillion times a day! Need water to cook pasta? Boil veggies? Soak a stubborn dish? Boil the kettle! Saves sooooooo much time rather than standing around at the hob waiting for water to boil.

I would either put it on a rubber mat or maybe try to find the rubber corner covers to put on them to secure it more.

I found a very long stainless steel "tweezers" is so helpful. It measures almost 10" or more long, I think. It's so much handier than tongs for flipping bacon, chicken tenders, or any small items you may need to pick up. Does extremely well in cast iron which is what I use more than 50% of time. I gifted one to my adult son who loves it too. Give it a try. 👍🇺🇲

Along with really good knives in general, I have found that a really good, long bread knife is essential for sourdough bread.

LOVE your list. I have 3 items that I would consider.... I use a rotary drum grater for my cheese. The crank handle makes it easier for me to make quick work of block cheese and cleanup is VERY simple. I did learn my lesson to watch the reviews on this one. Look for one that is proven. Another item is a swingline, wall-mounted can opener (Lehman's). It makes SURE that the tool never walks away and it's a lot easier for me to turn the crank than to work with the hand-held twist handle types. The other item that I use a LOT for chopping veggies is a cast iron and stainless steel commercial grade fry cutter. It makes quick work of raw root vegetables, apples, onions and much more. I got this last one after seeing two plastic choppers fail (the ones that the lid pushes down on the food). I use it enough to justify the cost and can't imagine it ever breaking with normal kitchen use.

This item has a long, slender "blade", which is spatulate. I hope this helps. I have enjoyed your channel for years. Thank you for everything you share. God bless you and yours.

OMG this is so accurate and so perfect. As a full time working mom with a large-ish garden who cooks everything from scratch as much as possible, these tools are exactly what is needed I feel. I did want to say that the kitchen aid is also great for the grinder attachment. On it's own it helps me a lot because I can buy a larger primal of meat, break it down, and any cuttings that I have become ground meat. Also, if I have a roast, but turns out we wanna make meatballs instead, easy. You can also put the sausage stuffer attachment on the grinder and make your own sausages. The paddle attachment is one of the best ways I've found of mixing sausages that develops the myacin beautifully and evenly distributes the spices. I could do that by hand, but not gonna lie, it doesn't come out as good. Finally, you can get a food and vegetable strainer that also goes on the end of the grinder and it makes quick work of seeding and skinning tomatoes for canning, making a task that takes an hour, take 10 minutes. I think a lot of people view the kitchen aid as a bread or baking machine, but it really is so much more. If I count up all the money I saved by making my own sausages and ground meats and the likes, that whole mixer and it's attachments paid for itself. It is truly the centerpiece of my kitchen.

As time has gone by I moved from plastic to glass to stainless steel (or ceramic) wherever possible. Still haven't retired the thriftstore plastic salad spinner but the blender moved from plastic to glass, storage containers definitely have switched up, and of course utensils. So younger me: just think it through and get the most durable version available. Definitely reduce the amount of plastic (looking at you measuring cups and spoons). Thanks for making this video, it was interesting to hear your thoughts. PS my instantpot means I cook beans. Otherwise it would be storebought at store prices with varying options. Also the ip saved me from buying an electric skillet which I sometimes thought I wanted.

Really liked this video and I’m happy to report that I have it all just about covered. I would like to switch to a durable glass for leftovers and the silicone tops. I would suggest a few things which I really count on in the kitchen such as long Oxo Tongs which give me an extra hand when I need to place chicken in a baking dish or reach into something hot. Also, since I like to freeze a lot of fruit for smoothies and make lots of salads I really appreciate my Oxo Salad Spinner. I have both a large and small one but rarely use the large. It’s just so handy to wash and dry berries and vegetables in smaller quantities in the small spinner. The one other thing I find really handy is a baking tray or large cookie sheet. They are great for spreading peaches and what not out so they can freeze in pieces before bagging then up. They also save my oven from spills and my counter top from messes. I’ll use one to hold needed ingredients for a recipe and make one trip with it to my work space. Of course, a good Oxo veggie peeler for carrots and potatoes is a must have along with an inexpensive, small, easy to use knife sharpener from a hardware store. I ‘nice to have goodie’ is a trustworthy, insta-read thermometer for meat, chicken, turkey, roasts, frying foods and making candy is fun to have. Sorry, so long but it’s so hard to narrow it all down!

The small metal spatula is a fish turner. I also go to that spatula. Though I admit I have a rubber spatula addiction...

Your list is pretty much the complete deal. I would add a kitchen scale for baking certain breads and having consistent sizing for things like pita and chapati that I don’t make often so I don’t have a sixth sense to make them all the same size , there are some recipes that can be forgiving, not all, by using using the Internet to figure out the conversion, but it was a pain if I was short on time.

You didn't have on your list your colorful enameled cast iron Dutch oven that you use for so much. I have two and love them, and yours looks so handy.

Somehow I never ended up watching this when you first posted it. But what a great list! I just got a food processor after wanting/seeing the need for one over the past couple years I’ve been married. So glad I waited though because the one I got I found for $4 at Goodwill! It’s the upgraded Cuisinart one and looks new! 👏🏻

I have a rubber scrapper with a tiny head. I got it from the baking section of a craft store. It's useful for get those last bits of something from a jar.

They are all spatulas...the metal ones are just spatulas and the rubber one is a Rubber Spatula. Pampered Chef Rubber Spatulas are by the best ever. They are heat resistant up to 450 degrees, sturdy and scrape so well. There are 3 different sizes. I also love the pampered Chef knifes...they will last a lifetime. Pampered chef also has a small metal spatula like the one that is your fav...it is great! No I'm not a PC consultant, just love good products that work well, last long and don't cost a fortune. Great video. I'd love to see what the inside of your fridge looks like.

Rada is made in USA. I looked on Pampered Chef site and could not find where their products are made so probably China as most things are these days. I refuse to support a communist regime. I feel I should support my country's workers/economy. If I cannot find American made, which is very hard to do now, I will look for it second hand or do without. If I cannot do without then I will buy from any other country other than a communist country or one with poor human rights. It is not worth saving a couple of bucks to sell out my fellow Americans and fellow human beings. Please, everyone, please pay attention to what you are buying and who you are buying if from. Sometimes the cheapest prices come at highest cost.

Pampered chef sells small stainless steel spatulas or turners (lol) that are really sturdy. Since there small they’re pretty cheap. The handle is black plastic but they hold up really well!

Awesome! Love knowing why you use something and how often:). And, we call the flipper a spatula and the other is a rubber spatula. Seems silly that they have the same name but do completely different things🤦🏼♀️

Cast iron is life! I have many. I also can’t live without my immersion blender, and my kitchen scale. That thing is a game changer. I also have quite a few strainers. I have a really big one for washing fruits and veggies for when I am canning. I use the smaller ones for everyday use, and I even have a medium sized one with a handle for going out the back and picking blackberries. I really love your channel.☮️💕

Love this video especially for anyone starting out. For leftovers our family does the same thing. We call it “Friday Night Delight night” take all the left overs out and eat what you want. That way nothing goes to waste and Friday nights are a little easier.

1.Fish spatula, long, thin and so much more effective then a regular metal spatula/turner or plastic. Love the thin edge for getting under food. 2. Good peri knife 3. Good veggie peeler 4. Recently purchased cheese gratwr, hand cranked. Can change blade for fineness of grate. Carrot salad, veggie salads, grind fruits for jelly, grind nuts for cookies, crusts, nut butters.

I would add a very skinny spatula. (Spatula like the white one not the metal one) I found it in the canning section at Walmart. It literally fits inside bottles like a ketchup bottle or any narrow opening so you can get the very last of something out. I literally have all of those things, down to the Cusinart ice cream maker. We don't have the one with the container that you freeze though, we have the kind that has a little compressor in it and we love it. I love your channel so much.

Lisa, my mother had scratch bakery. She would use a rubber scrapper that you use by grabbing the side as it had no handle. She could scrape a bowl so completely clean with one I had to have one too. Also I found a grater at target that grates not only on the down but also on the up stroke. Thanks for all the sharing. It's really encouraging!

I enjoyed your list Lisa.. Some of my kitchen must-haves are: my InstaPot(it makes getting a meal on the table in less time so deliciously easy for us Moms who work outside the home.😊),my salad spinner (I use it for leafy greens,cleaning grapes,soaking apples,etc),my Airfryer( it's a healthier and faster way to enjoy fried foods and the clean-up is a cinch!), my Ninja cup blender (it's how me and my teenage daughters make our favorite smoothies without having to make large batches), my crockpot(for working Moms,put the ingredients in before leaving for work and come home to a finished meal), my Mini-chopper(a big help when needing to cut up onions,peppers,celery, etc), my Toaster oven( comes in handy to heat up a couple of slices of leftover pizza or bake a small personal one without having to turn on big oven),and my mini waffle maker( my daughters love using it !) I love my cast iron skillets too! I bought my first one after watching you cook with yours and bought my older son and daughter each one this past December. 😄

1. Digital probe thermometer. Breads are baked to perfection. Meat(esp chicken and fish)never overcooked. 2. Induction stovetop! Besides incredible control, faster response, cleaner surface & cooler kitchen….no NG or Propane bill! 3. Electric tea kettle.

I think your favorite stainless steel spatula is a Rada. Usually sold in country or Minnonite/Amish stores or something as fund raisers
