For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.

    Probably just my chef knife. But that’s an obvious and boring answer.

    My choice would be my hand blender. I use it for making any dips, many sauces (it is made out of metal) and it also got a blender attachment for shredding vegetables. One of the best investments I made for my kitchen.

      Yeah, I love my chef’s knife too. I recently received a hand blender secondhand but I am yet to use it!

      Maybe obvious to some of us, but I see so many people that just won’t use a chef’s knife or something similar because they never learned how. Or, in the case of my own parents, for some reason they just… didn’t have one?

      It really makes a lot of prep work so much easier. Definitely one of the first rolls I’d recommend for any new kitchen (Along with a sharpening stone and training lol!)

      Chef’s knife is definitely not boring and may not be as obvious as you think. I come from a family that has only ever used cheap paring knives for everything that have never even been in the same room as a sharpener. Meanwhile, I haven’t made a single dish without my Henckels since I bought it 5 years ago. My GIR silicone turner is a close second
