10 Kitchen Essentials | Tools I Can't Live Without!

[@pattyhanna7851]

And YES to more videos on cast iron skillets and cast iron care. I am obsessed with them and would love more tips on cooking with it.

[@suenoYume]

Another great onion cutting tip: drip 1-2 drops of (olive) oil on the blade of your knife and coat it evenly (i use a tissue for that) and then cut the onion. you are welcome everyone :)

[@thedomesticgeek1]

Thanks so much for the tip!

[@ronaldwitteman2134]

or use diving goggles.

[@prettyinpunk666]

PSA: Only buy silicone spatulas that are all one piece if you can!. If the heads pop off, they can and DO get moldy inside.

[@MindOverMunch]

YAAASSSSS I am so glad you got on the silicone spatula train! I am OBSESSED!!!

[@thedomesticgeek1]

Great suggestions!!

[@laurenchambers8018]

4 cats?! I knew there was a reason that I loved you so much- other than the obvious yummy recipes and wonderful personality of course

[@thedomesticgeek1]

:)

[@ellabernardini]

Honestly you know you’re an adult when kitchen appliances are what you’re day dreaming about

[@thedomesticgeek1]

+ellabernardini Haha! You're right. It's definitely a sign of adulting 😉

[@a.d.w8385]

Lol. That is hilarious and so true.

[@idopointlessthings2]

For real!

[@timnadeau7991]

I have four cast iron pans of various sizes and have loved using them after going through the same trials and errors as you and encourage a video.

[@interesting...1235]

I would love to see the right way to care for the cast iron skillet, also would love to know your go-to, everyday spices, or what ingredients every kitchen needs. Keep up the amazing work! I can never get tired of watching your videos. 🤗

[@LorenMarieP]

Thank you so much for this video; been wanting this for a while. I'm always seeking ways to offer lots of different meals in our house without drowning in specialty kitchen equipment - it's nice to have a short list of kitchen essentials for that purpose!

[@kanaboke74]

Love your cast iron skillet montage! hahaha! can't wait to see the video you make for it. I need it! I rarely use mine because of the sticking.

[@sierramarie8059]

hey there! a little tip! with the cast iron, if it's sticking, and properly oiled. it's not ready to flip :) say you're cooking a piece of meat. you know it's good when it doesn't stick, you flip it and let the other side cook :)

[@sierramarie8059]

just as long as it's not on high :)

[@joanmariepat4221]

Would you please talk about how you sharpen your knives.

[@Innerthoughtsofrhi]

Petition to have you wear the onion goggles on your next video! 😂💕

[@ycruz99]

I'd love to see a video about cast irons. They are so intimidating. Big thumbs up on the dutch oven, my favorite pan by far. Love your videos.

[@nataliecouch4849]

Would it be possible for you to tell us the size of your Dutch Oven “Big Red”? I recently just “stumbled” upon your videos and I just couldn’t stop watching! Good thing I didn’t have to work the next day! And then, I went grocery shopping... your ideas saved me sooo much time during the week! THIS IS GREAT!!! Thank you!!!! You are such a gift!😻👌💋❤️

[@filipinoarchmage5793]

I'm literally in love with your citrus press.

[@lala7701]

OMG you're a cat lady! Didn't know that. Your kittens look so cute.

[@thedomesticgeek1]

+SunoftheCakes Haha!! I am a total cat lady. With 4 cats there is barely room for me at home 😉

[@Laura-mv1eb]

Thank you!!! I especially love the options for dutch ovens. I was hoping you would give some options for the beautiful silver non-stick frying pans you use in videos, maybe you can suggest some in the Q and A

[@thedomesticgeek1]

I can definitely do that!

[@erinvaughn3739]

I love your kitchen tools, I'm not big on rubber or plastic it's to toxic. The glasses look really cute on you ! 👍💖

[@BonusFry]

🤔❤️

[@cynv2808]

I have the Titan peelers (like 10 years maybe?) and the citrus juicer, can't live without them and can't shut up about them either, all my family have them now!! I bring my Titan peeler when I have to prep food to someone else house, I get mad with the other peelers!

[@thedomesticgeek1]

Hahaha, I am the exact same way! The Titan peeler is one of my all time favorites!

[@Amyelferdink]

I love that I already have some of these items!!

[@coconuttnutt]

You need to do a tutorial on your eye makeup that you're wearing. Just for the one time. It's to die for.

[@jenross4150]

I bought a Dutch Oven because of your videos. Best purchase I have made. I'm eyeing that peeler & citrus juicer. Thanks for the great video.

[@thedomesticgeek1]

+Jen Ro Awesome news! I hope you're loving it! And thanks so much for watching 😊

[@Thespicyapron]

Haha! The Onion Goggles! Now on my Christmas list!

[@eafafeayd]

your channel is what i only watch these days,thanks for amazing recipes and tricks sara 🖤 i wonder what kind of music do you like? can you say some of your fave artists?

[@Trueboldness]

I swear I chuckle at your puns and jokes every time!!! 😂

[@monicaghosh1166]

Thank you for this video! A suggestion for a future video would be tricks and techniques you use to maintain some of these things. That would be super! helpful

[@ElleIsForLiving]

I have and love the Titan peelers - amazing! Loved this and your kitties. Yes to the cast iron skillet video! ♥ Elle

[@pattyhanna7851]

You just wooed me with those peelers. 😍😍 I must have them.

[@chandranimodak3741]

Cast iron video plz...thnx & love ur work!! Keep up!

[@SuperFashiongirl18]

Everything you make on this channel looks deliciously perfect. Were you ever a professional chef?

[@byronchandler5000]

Hi, Sara Lynn. Those are some really cute kitchen utensils.

[@thedomesticgeek1]

Thanks Byron!

[@MPD292615]

Hello I love your videos!!! Always looking forward to your next one!!!! I was wondering if you can make a video on spices?? What spices go with what type of food and when to use them.. thank you

[@marjoriedelosreyes3544]

Great and fun video Sarah! I'm 25 and I am in love with cooking. I don't have a lot of specialties but I am always open to try different dishes from different countries. What are your tips for aspiring home cooks? Ps. Love your channel!

[@hannahplas2495]

Oh, yes!! Please, make a video about cast iron skillets! :)

[@monettecushman7280]

I love my Shun!

[@kimberlynewsom9876]

Great video and you are so fun to watch! I have a Shun santoku knife that I use every day and I've also had it for 10 years and it is hands down the best knife I have ever owned! Also, I think I may need to "fix" my cast iron skillet - it's a Le Creuset one and I've used soap on it and probably shouldn't have (it looks fine so who knows maybe I didn't do any damage) but I was having the same problem as you that everything was sticking to it and it was the only way I could get it clean. I haven't used it in oh probably over a year now because I hate it. So I'd really appreciate one of those videos you're thinking about doing on cast iron skillets! Thank you for sharing.

[@thedomesticgeek1]

+Kimberly Newsom Hi! I will definitely do a cast iron video soon. I ruined so many of them before I figured out how to use them properly. Stay tuned 😊

[@XxdoncelladelmetalxX]

Kimberly Newsom clean our your cast iron skillet with salt and paper towel. The salt cleans the skillet well while not ruining the seasoning of your pan. After that you spread oil all over the skillets surface and I just turn on the burner on my stovetop and let it heat up until it starts smoking. After that, turn it off and you'll notice your cast iron has a nice sheen to it.

[@irisvelasquez5388]

I had the titan peelers for years saw it on an infomercial one of those nights I couldn't sleep and use them a lot a must purchase.

[@janelhagen89]

I think you forgot to add the immersion blender! I hear you talk about how much you use yours all the time! 🙂

[@adrianvaughn3170]

OMG! HOW DID I MISS THIS VID??? Would you be sad if I told you this was my favourite video on the channel? haha Just, I can't get enough kitchen tool ideas! THANK YOU! 😻

[@jillvalentine32]

Can you collab with Mind Over Munch more and share Bento Boxes? I love both your channels! :)

[@thabeautiful1]

I would love to see a video on how to care for cast iron skillets!

[@TheSassyFriday]

Now I know why I love you so much....you’re a cat lover too!! 🐈 I also have four cats.

[@mistycruz1402]

Yes! Do a Cast iron video!!!

[@juliehamel8330]

Yes! Please make a video on cast iron pots!! I got one as a gift and every time I use it I want to cry :( I need help!

[@thedomesticgeek1]

+Julie Hamel I definitely will. It has been so helpful for me!

[@MsMedford]

You have 4 kittehs? You should do a homemade kitty treat recipe.

[@mysteriousgyal21]

Thanks Sarah for doing this video. I love your channel I'm always telling my friends family etc. Can you kindly tell me where you got your red measuring cups from. Thanks keep doing what you doing you are amazing

[@briancagordon2308]

I absolutely love my Cutco but veggie peeler.expensive,but well worth it

[@belizeguy]

These are great things to have. I have to find those Titan peelers. Thanks. My favorite tool that I use weekly is a Shrimp Cleaning tool. Pop off the head, stick this in, it lifts off the shell and legs and splits the shrimp so you can pull out the vein. Makes them easier to Butterfly as well.

[@thedomesticgeek1]

Sounds like a great tool! Here is a direct link to the Titan peeler in case you want to check it out amzn.to/2xJ9bO2

[@TracyNguyenxoxo]

Where did you get your shrimp cleaning tool?

[@belizeguy]

Thank you dear!

[@belizeguy]

I got it in Charleston, SC at a Shrimp Stand, but I did see them in Bed, Bath and Beyond there. They did not have them in the last store I visited in California. Could be a regional thing. If I find a link, I will post it.

[@erinvaughn3739]

Love your cats !! 💖👏

[@thelowcarbchronicles9059]

OMG! I cannot wait to lay my hands on those onion goggles. Guuuuurl.....lol...you have no idea! Great video and genius ideas as to where to buy an affordable alternative to....shhhh....Le Creuset. I've been wanting a dutch oven for years but couldn't figure out how to set up the GoFundMe page to get it.....hahahahhaa.......all jokes aside, I will be buying the one you have. Thanks again. You totally ROCK!

[@booboo1546]

So the mystery is solved!...how the domestic geek makes her awesome food recipes...with her super kitchen utensils!!! Keep up the positive vibe...❤ yr videos!!

[@thedomesticgeek1]

Thanks Charlene!!

[@daisysaldana9149]

I love this video I’m for sure buying these. I also wanted to ask you what would you recommend for beginner cooks to buy?

[@WellnessatTiffanys]

Okay so I need to add a bunch of these products on my list to get! I love cooking but some of the gadgets would make it so much easier! Also, please do a video on cast iron I only own one cast iron pan and I refuse to cook on it, I make my husband do it lol

[@bunnyflick4387]

Awesome, helpful video! :)

[@thedomesticgeek1]

Thanks for watching!

[@studiojessen6031]

Love this video

[@bubbaflatile]

I came over to watch you from your friend at Mind over Munch! You have amazing ideas. Are they all your own? Also, have you ever done a video that is more vlog style? Curious about you married? Are you a chef?

[@aisuru113]

Those take out containers can be found at Costco too.

[@mustanggt5713]

I love your videos

[@annatsivlina7371]

Please do a video on how to cook on cast iron and clean it and also about that Lodge oven dutch!)😉🙏

[@passiondoll4445]

Cleaning and care for cast iron skillet, PLEASE!! XOXOXO

[@christianmagill3829]

Interesting list! What is the biggest difference between using a chef's knife such as the one your suggested and a standard one. Currently I'm using a chef's knife that came with a Henckel block set. Any difference in the way you'd care for such a knife?

[@hedgerow.homestead]

I would love some canning videos, if you felt so inclined!!

[@tonifafa]

Great list! My addition is a slow cooker.

[@thedomesticgeek1]

I love my slow cooker too!!

[@kayford7815]

I wanted to mention that you can put a mint in your mouth or chew a piece of gum to keep from tearing up when chopping onions. I didn't believe it would work, but it really does.

[@jenmv3483]

Nice list, I can't live without my cutting board

[@lenoratench2855]

Hi was the Dutch oven you used in this video from Lodge? In addition what was the quart size? Thanks

[@mythirdchannel]

I LOVE gadget videos :D and I own a lot of similar items that I swear by. I have the same rasp grate and it's amazing :D and I really want to get my hands on a cast iron skillet, please please please make a video on using them :D

[@michellesaari2263]

Would definitely watch a cast iron skillet video. They always make me nervous so I don't use them.

[@wifeintheattic]

I need those onion goggles!

[@thedomesticgeek1]

They really do work!

[@nicholynnharrel5773]

I am intimidated by cast iron! I've gotten a little better and I use my cast iron skillet and stove top grill all the time and love it! love them but they are intimidating. I make my husband clean them because I don't know how and he is picky. Would love a video on caring for them!

[@tinacarey5720]

What is the brand name of your dutch oven? Thank you, awesome videos

[@stefaniewolf4268]

Interesting how I have the exact same vegetable peeler even though I live in a completely different country😃 it's so old too.

[@Sinamonroses13]

Please make a video on cast iron skillet care and tricks! I burn in skillets or things get stuck to the bottom

[@Karinb88]

great video! :)

[@bfvargas8]

awesome thanks!

[@gillianmuspic2337]

Which video has the recipe for the chick pea and tomato salad you show in the canning funnel demo. I need it badly. Thanks

[@rebeccasperring1747]

GILLIAN ROLBEIN hi Gillian, I think the recipes you are talking about came from the meal prep series from about a year ago. There were 18 episodes in total and are on her list under meal prep videos (or you could just search domestic geek meal prep menu). These are fantastic videos that I still go back to watch. I've also tried about 6 of the recipes so far which all worked out great first time! Enjoy!

[@verlaschupbach8102]

I'm so glad you are a cat girl! (me too!) I'm new to your channel, but think I'm gonna be glad I subscribed. Are you a tea or coffee girl?

[@lilmonster90210]

Omg you have 4 cats!!! Why am I not surprised? :D

[@naomibeery478]

Onion goggles...who knew!

[@chrisann989]

Pls do share a video on how to care for cast iron skillets

[@mollygreenway7391]

Hey Sarah what about Canadian shipping options? Or stores you go to?

[@alexstephenson9005]

What kind of food processor would you recommend for making homemade peanut butter?

[@aleciadavis3401]

I always called the "rasp" a micro plane

[@thedomesticgeek1]

+Alecia Davis Most people do because Microplane is the largest brand that makes them. They're so handy to have in the kitchen. Thanks for watching 😊

[@juliettye25]

I have a rasp grater but I always struggle to clean it (especially when grating limes and lemons). Any advice? @The Domestic Geek

[@guillermoantonionavarreted886]

Hi! can you give some tips for picking a slow cooker, have a good day!!

[@amberwallowiak4562]

Since you love mason jars, did you know that they fit on most blenders to make life just that much easier?

[@SkeletonCreeper03]

How do you come up with new recipes? Do you keep making and tasting them until it tastes perfect?

[@heyyouwhassup9765]

I didn't know you had 4 cats! lol I think you should do a Q&A video or something lol

[@sarahs8751]

I always feel like a cast iron pan is like a BBQ plate. I of course keep my BBQ in top condition coz I cook on it almost exclusively for 7-8 months in the year. I just feel like that would be an awful lot of work for a frying pan! Maybe if I see one on sale...

[@headfulloftrees4071]

My Q&A question: What's your favorite pasta?

[@naynaysmile]

are the meal prep containers heat and freezer safe ? do they shrink?

[@diannarockymore8130]

Hey I would love to know the best way to make a German Chocolate cake. I have trouble with mine falling and I do not know what I am doing wrong

[@bonesgooo2249]

Hi, Do you have the receipt for the Shrimp soup? Thank you

[@kmac12180]

Love this video. Thank you so much. My husband is going to kill me. I'm going shopping!!!!

[@ronaldwitteman2134]

Search for a Dutch oven on the 2nd hand market or a flee market that's were i got mine.(still in good shape and cheap)

[@lavender146ash3]

When it comes to meal prep, it's hard for me to tell how long things are good for in the fridge, what foods can be frozen, and which can't, can I chop my onions ahead of time and leave them in the fridge, etc. Things of that sort.

[@deviseecharrangibson8233]

I think I need to buy the Titan Peeler..

[@stephaniebenitez8138]

You rock

[@tkeyahvaughan1410]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A CARE VIDEO FOR CAST IRON. I just got one and I have no idea what I am doing.
