Essential kitchen tools and equipment

Cooking is the process of preparing food by applying heat, selecting, measuring and combining of ingredients in an ordered procedure for producing safe and edible food. The process encompasses a vast range of methods, tools and combinations of ingredients to alter the flavor or digestibility of food.

Essential kitchen tools and Equipment
Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed...So are you ready to cook? Checkout first the essential kitchen tools and equipment you need:
  • stove or range - heat-producing chamber or device used for cooking
  • sink - basin used for washing something
  • work surface- a place where you prepare everything for cooking
  • various knives - tool for cutting or spreading
  • pots and pans- container for cooking or storage
  • spatulas - a flat flexible metal, plastic, or rubber utensil with a handle, used to scoop, lift, spread, or mix
  • whisks – a tool used for whipping to aerate a soft or liquid substance and make it thick and frothy
  • measuring cups and spoons – used for measuring solid and liquid substance
  • rolling pins - a cylinder with small handles at either end, used for rolling out and flattening dough, pastry, or other uncooked food.
  • colander - strainer for draining water from food
  • chopping or cutting boards - a piece of flat wood or rigid plastic used to protect a countertop or table while cutting food.
In recent years such sophisticated equipment as blenders, food processors, and microwave ovens have become common. Although such tools do save considerable preparation and cooking time, none of them has improved on the results to be achieved by more traditional techniques.
