Kitchen tools and utensils

One of the most important things in the kitchen is your kitchen utensils, whether it be a favourite knife to a pan you couldn’t go without, even something simple like spoons are one of the most important things that every chef needs close by. Every chef has their own favourite items in their home or kitchen, these tools help you prepare and cook your food to the best standard and I have my own favourites that I use all the time.

Knives: Getting a good collection of knives is a marathon not a sprint, knives can be very expensive and I have spent more money than I would like to admit on knives but without them I would not be able to work as quickly or as efficiently as I do. I have a knife for whatever preparation I need to do, filleting, chopping, slicing and it’s very important to keep them nice and sharp.

Pans: Every kitchen has its own set of saucepans, woks, steak pans and I have a few good pans at home that I like to play around with. The wok I have is only small and I got it from tk maxx along with some other good things but I use it quite often and it’s the perfect size for a quick stir fry for one. My sizzler pan is a new pan that I got for my birthday and it's a great pan you can use, although it is usually just used for serving food on I made some steaks on it recently which went down great and comes with a board u can put it on to serve which is a nice feature.

Some of my other favourite utensils include a potato peeler as having a decent one speeds peeling up so much, a plastic spatula

and a ricer so I can make lovely smooth mashed potato.
