He says the non-stick pan is great for searing food, but searing requires high heat, and non-stick pans coatings are not stable at high temperatures required for that kind of cooking. This can damage the coating but also leech of chemicals. The product in the link itself says these particular pans are safe up to 260C which will be safe for most oven cooking but probably not broiling. But for searing something like a steak, it will be hotter than that and damage the coating. So it isn't good for all types of cooking. Also, detachable handles may be convenient, but I've also if it becomes loose or something it becomes a major hazard if you're moving hot food and it lets go. Personally, I wouldn't trust the detachable handles. As someone else mentioned, stacking them is also a no-no unless you put something like parchment paper between. As for knives, good points made, 3 is really all anyway needs unless you're regularly filleting fish or something specialized. Cutting boards, acacia is one of the best wood options available, and as someone else mentioned, it's better to use a different type of oil for maintaining it. Some would argue you should have a plastic board for meat since wooden boards are difficult to sterilize, and plastic boards can be fully sanitized and cleaned without damaging them, and can be disposed of when they get to rough shape. I like the bowl/strainer set, it's a really nice and functional set. However, since it's a sort of plastic, depending on your type of cooking, you can't use it over a bain-marie if you want to make something like a hollandaise sauce, which is why I like some glass & metal bowls. Very cool nesting utensils set, but like the pans, if you do high heat cooking, they could melt on you (I have had this happen with similar types of utensils). I'd instead recommend silicone utensils as they are higher heat resistant, and I've found them easier to clean as they are non-stick themselves. You can get sets for a reasonable price on amazon that come with a storage jar which would have a similar footprint in your kitchen.

The only utensil that I would argue is essential, that you don't have, is a pair of tongs.

My mother, as much as I love her, is a bit of a hoarder. Her family grew up really, really poor, and she has a habit of not throwing things away/donating them when she can. I finally convinced her to let me reorganise her kitchen, and this video gave me a perfect idea on how to consolidate. Thank you for this!

I finally decided to make this year the year I move out. My current home with my family is extremely cluttered as everyone else hoards. I want my space to feel light and organized. Every item you listed, I see myself buying. They are so ingenius and I assume they'll last for years, so it would be worth the investment. Thanks so much for this video!

I'm Italian. Cooking means a lot for us and I have to say this setup isn't lacking anything essential. I can really see it covering 95% of my needs while taking about 30% of the space. You're just missing a moka and you're golden 😉

Never stack non stick pans unless you use something in between, like paper plates or dish rags, to keep them from getting scratched or chipped. It'll prolong the coating and life of the pan. And you do have to worry about it getting into your food.

Wise advice regarding your Tefal equipement : use a paper towel between each one of them when stacking. It prevents from any damage as their surface remains fragile.

the honing rod doesnt actually sharpen the blade. it just straightens the edge to make it more effective. you will need another tool if you want to actually sharpen the knifes

I love how this video gets critised for owning to much stuff to be called a minimalist and for missing "essential" itrms at the same time smh. Also minimalism is not a competition. Its about only owning the stuff you need. I don't drink coffee so I don't own a coffee maker. Does that mean I say people that do aren't minimalists? Some people are happy owning as little as 30 things. I also reevaluate what I need and declutter from time to time, but I will never match those 30 things. Yet I'm still a minimalist.

Great video! I will look for those pans with the detachable handle. As a woodworker I would just add on suggestion. On the cutting boards or any wooden surface that comes in contact with food (I make wooden bowls), I would suggest using food-safe mineral oil. Food-safe means it is not an industrial oil that may have contaminates. Also, some oils like olive oil can become rancid over time. Mineral oil will not spoil. Not that big a deal because usually even if oil becomes rancid, not enough oil will get into food to make you sick, and cooking kills any bacteria. But, to be on the safe side it is best to use mineral oil.

After watching this video I went and de cluttered my kitchen. It's unbelievable how much stuff I kept hold on to and never used. Thank you for the inspiration. I had to subscribe straight away. Keep up with this amazing content 👍👍

Thank you, Daniel. This is going to be incredibly useful to me because I moved into a tiny home (just a home that is tiny, not a tiny house) not that long ago, and everything has to justify its own place or it can't stay. I've never had to do that before so I'm decluttering like mad and will be replacing my bigger, heavier things with smaller, lighter things. I'm happy about it but I can't deny it has some challenges. Your channel offers so much value for people in my situation and I'm grateful.

I loved this video, as I'm going to be moving away for uni I won't have a lot of space so this was helpful, however to anyone reading, I really do recommend you get a cast iron skillet especially since most Teflon pans can't withstand high temperatures in the oven and one other wok type pan is enough. Ive also bought a silicon spatula and ladle set because you can leave these in the pan whilst you cook without the fear of burning them like plastic ones.

I love it. Visual and clean aesthetic, but clear and straightforward, with easy to apply tips.

I absolutely LOVE the pans and saucepans with the removable handles. That is brilliant.

Well done! I'm just embarking on a design for a tiny house and your video has given me a few good ideas to explore for the kitchen space.

Now that we sold all our belongings and moved to a new country this video is priceless, gives great suggestions to buy new and logical items for the kitchen.

I aspire to have a kitchen like this 😍 No clutter, pleasing to look and to get inside! Beautiful!

Just watched your videos. Best channel I’ve seen in a while. Great potential in the current youtube climate and nice breath of fresh air to have someone British making minimalism and lifestyle videos! I don’t think I know any other Uk KZfaqrs doing this kind of video. I’m sure your channel will explode in the next year if you keep up this quality of work. Can’t wait for new videos

i have a large flat-bottomed wok that i use for literally everything a pot or frying pan can do. the most versatile and best kitchen item i’ve ever bought

The content and quality of your video is classy and exquisite.

Thank you for the video! I found the video to be very informative and inspiring! I love how you showed what things worked for you and even explaining how the tools in the kitchen vary from person to person because it’s true. I also loved how organized your apartment is. And I love those TeFal pans as well! I have those and it’s been such a breeze to be cooking with them, they are easy to clean and store. I also really liked how you even mentioned that you aren’t a huge cook yourself so the tool you found works for you. As a baker and cook myself, I did find I may need a few things to be switched around but the whole minimalistic idea is very comforting. Having a clutter free home must be relaxing and productive. Very inspired by your video and I’m thinking to reorganize my place too! Can’t wait to see more!

This is a video of an architect (and terrible chef) explaining how he lives with a small kitchen. If you've come here for cooking advice, you're in the wrong place! But hopefully the products in the video will help save some of your cupboard space for baked beans and Oreos... 🙃

Thanks for sharing! I've been looking into tips for my college apartment, and so far this is one of the better videos ice found for kitchen utensils

This is fantastic. I was trying to figure out the best combination of words to search for to get to some type of minimalist kitchen essentials guide and you nailed it.

this is the most aesthetic yet functional kitchen haul i've ever seen, thank you so much!

I love this so aesthetically pleasing and something ive wanted for a long time... a full listing of kitchen utensils for a minimalist.

Your videos are so straight forward! You just go straight to the point, which is so amazing!!

Wow! I really like this video! I am moving to a new place with a small kitchen and this will help me take out the unnecessary stuff. Thank you!

This is so helpful!! My boyfriend and I are about to move into a new flat that doesn’t have much storage space in the kitchen, I’m definitely going to steal some of your ideas! Thank you & the vid was so well put together!

Love how thoughtful your purchases are! (especially love the wine tumblers and nesting bowls)

I have 4 pans, 1 cutting board, and too much cabinet space. I did not think I had room for a washing machine until I watched this. Thank you so much!

The pans with handles you can take off could also make great cake tins for baking!

I have tried to downsize our kitchen and went through it a few months ago but this leads me to believe I was not nearly brutal enough with my purge. I will be doing this again this weekend to see if I can get rid of more items. I don't use some of it except one time per year so that will have to be the items I might store in my hall closet to free up valuable space in my kitchen.

For years this is the ONLY video I have been coming back to this video whenever I feel I have gone off track with hoarding. for me its like therapy.

Great advice and thank you for your effort Daniel. Looking forward to seeing more.

I am glad you did what you could with the space

I love everything about this video. No matter how hard I try, my videos will never be this elegant. Well done!

The Joseph and Joseph stuff is so perfect makes my mouth water. I need these in my life!

Thank you for this video! I recently bought the Tefal pot set and I love them! They save so much space

This video is exactly what I needed. Recently downsized from a suburban 2 floor 2 bed 1 and half bath town-home to a 2 bedroom basement apartment in the city and it has been a nightmare. We are coming from merging from 2 households into 1 and there is a hodgepodge of everything and nothing has seems to have order. I had no clue where to start. Infinite thanks!

Genius video! I dont have a micro kitchen but I am still taking notes on the products mentioned! Thank you!

This.is.the.video I've been searching for this... for about a year now. Thank you so so much for this!

I love the stacking items. So clever.

Wonderful tips! Kitchen often feels cluttered no matter its size. These tips come handy of course for small spaces but also for an open kitchen space towards the living room. Enjoyed watching 🙏🏻

Every detail is so well thought out, particularly loved the nesting pans and utensils and will be implementing a lot of the lessons here when I move out. Thanks so much for this!

Great video! Straight to the point and simple. Looking forward to more of these!

I absolutely adore your videos, amazing job!

I was looking for these kind of kitchen arrangements...thank you for posting this video..

Amazing tips, loved it!!

That pan set is so cool! Thanks for sharing these tips!

Love your channel! You must make more videos like this! I need more of your tips in my life !!

man this guy always save me with some kind of storage idea to make everything more organize. Thanks

i'm in love with your space Good job!!

Nesting bowls were a really great idea! We have a very small kitchen and every inch counts. Thanks for the insight!

I love having a clean kitchen. usually I cook 2 to 3 meals at the same time or at least do some preparing. so I definitely need space and clean items. really saves a lot of money when it comes to groceries

Glad I stumbled across this particular video about minimalist ✌🏼

Fabulous. Wonderfully presented and filmed.

this video is so satisfying. you have a lovely home.

Letss gohhh! I liked the vid and it went to 5k. PS I really like the way this vid came out helped a lot of people get a more sense of what minimalism is like with out sacrifice

I have started with a very similar amount Of stuff as them and i can Say i agree This îs a really good list. What i would personally add on my essential list would be one of those handheld processors for soups that often come in a ser with a whisk-i got a metal one that detaches for easy wash, and a 500ml pyrex jug that îs great for baking or batters and u can use it for mixing drinks too.

This is perfect! I personally hope to move out on my own for the first time in the future. I don't want a cluttered kitchen. You provide good advice; I may subscribe to you!

Short and complete video. This is very helpful.

I love your kitchen so much 🤩 It's officially my dream kitchen 😍

Just watching this video was so soothing. Also taught me a lot! Thank you.

Excellent presentation. Plus great speaking voice. Keep the videos coming. Love them.

Greatest vid i have seen on you tube to date. Thank you!

The gadget lineup was so pleasing! I think you are missing a grater though. I use mine constantly.

Oh thank you! Thank you so so much! Your video is just what I needed.

Your Channel and Content is Minimal :) Hope you post more often. I love this. I've been a minimalist for almost a year now and I've never been happy and satisfied.

i think that's the best and most effective video about kitchen essentials

Love the video! Very underrated indeed. Been trying to downsize my kitchen essentials as well!

I do the same with the Ikea dinnerware and the stemless wine glasses for everyday use.

This video was incredibly satisfying.

Love this! Shot beautifully too

i really loved the way you make your videos. minimalism is the best style for everything whicj is not including art

Hey Daniel... I'm a new fan... I'm glad you mentioned where you purchased the products so I'll check them out... Also in reading other's comments they seemed to offer some viable alternatives (i.e. plastic board for meat cutting instead, and a pair of tongs for salad, and perhaps include 1 cast iron in the collection, etc.) of what you mentioned but I'm definitely downloading yours for reference as I make plans on how I'm going to organize a small kitchen that I'm moving to soon.

Thanks for sharing your good ideas.

This is perfect! Very helpful!

OH MY GOODNESS I’ve I been looking for a video such as this! Thanks you! 🙏🏾

Needed this in my life...Thank you!!

To update your kitchen, there's appliance paint and appliance stainless steel wrap. You can add a floating shelf for some of your appliances. I uplug the appliances in between uses to save on electricity or them getting zapped. New tile would be awesome. There are fancy pinic silverware caddy. Love the utensils! I hide mine in a drawer by the stove. Theres a roll dry dish rack you can easily put away. Love your video editing and am hoping to go more minimal. Im a mom of 3 and just want to keep up with it all anymore.

Great video! It's very informative and it's well shot and edited. Good job 👍

So amazing! I love your kitchen

For some reason , I didn't hear his accent until he said "living in London". Then BAM! I was like holy shit I didn't realize he was speaking in a British accent.

I am taking all these recommendations bro, thanks for the vid

Saw this apartment on “Never too Small”. Love the summary of what is essential and a good plug for J&J products which are not only extremely functional but aesthetically beautiful. Who said that utensils shouldn’t look good? I’m also a fan of not remodelling kitchens. So many new kitchens are expensive, unsustainable and not necessarily REALLY that much more useful after remodelling. I have an original 1972 kitchen in our apartment in Athens which I LOVE! ... I’ve learned to work with it rather than against it and the original features I find very comforting although I did buy a retro Smeg fridge and oven ... oh and I do have a crazy expensive coffee machine. A smartening of the paintwork, a retro 1970s racing stripe and original mid-century dining furniture means that no one notices that the draws aren’t “soft closing”!

I have a similar magnetic utensil set and I love it - prefer the colour of yours though. I really like the stacking bowl/strainer set too

Great video. I'll keep it on my list for my guide when I live separately from my parents

amazing tips and recommendation in my opinion! thanks

As a former chef and minimalist before it was a thing, I have Magma pans which are stacking and which are good for induction stoves as well. I think less than $200 US still and great pans. I don't do non-stick, so -- er? Hum... But Mercer knives are the industry standard in restaurants in the US. Glad to see you giving them the respect they most certainly deserve!

Thank you so much for sharing this... Its help me a lot for my new tiny home 👍

For real this video was so helpful thank you. Blessings.

Your ability of making videos is fabulous , i can't believe that when i pressed the subscribe button , their was no one and now u have over a thousand , congrats . And seriously those pan's are amazing , i had no idea they exist.

your channel is underrated. Your videos are absolutely genius and unusual

You need a large sauce pan if you plan on doing soups and stews. I've found my 1.5 quart sauce pan was a medium. I need a much larger one when soups require five cups of broth and multiple cans of ingredients.

I love this so much

I got the same drinking glasses from ikea for the exact same reason 😊 i shall save this video for the next kitchen purge round.

Thank u for the ideas I'm going to buy most of the items u showed
