You should make a video about cleaning after cooking since that’s the one thing most cook dread after cooking a nice meal

[@coolwater55]

Work a bit slower, to be tidier, less spills slopping. 2. Be prepared ahead with everything neatly out of cupboards and pantry/fridge. Clean as you go, in between phases of your baking or meal prep. Wash dishes as you go when possible and put items away when no longer needed. Wipe spills as they happen. Be methodical like a science experiment. Ask for help, but do not tell people "I did the cooking, so you do the cleaning" That's plain wring and encourages messy cooking and caring less for quantity of pots pans etc. I know people like this..its not an equitable arrangement.

[@AudreysKitchen]

Clean as you go. Re-use as possible. Wipe/rinse any utensil or dish immediately after using it. I never spend more than 15 minutes cleaning after a cook, and that's after sometimes spending hours in the kitchen.

[@ginawiggles918]

Mis en plas. Get a little set of small & tiny bowls and have all your ingredients measured, prepped, and ready to go. Put away all the spices/herbs & set aside vegetable peelings for compost The key is to tidy up as you go. Use every spare opportunity to clear clutter. I keep a shoebox sized tub filled with soapy water in the sink. Toss stuff in, sanitize the counters, cutting board, & move on. It's all about prep & organization.

You mentioned knives (and cutting boards) but let's not forget knife sharpeners. Those are the real MVP! Hope you've been doing great after moving from one dream to another!

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

I agree Alena Abbott. I use my whetstone weekly/bi weekly to keep my knives in mint condition. Although we have an old fashioned butcher shop near us where one can take their knives to be sharpened for a fee.

[@StrelkiShifty]

Also learning to properly hand sharpen knives on a stone, it's one of those life skills that's good to have like basic car maintenance. If you can master hand sharpening you can pretty much apply it to anything that needs an edge

[@paveloleynikov4715]

@stockart whiteman i think most home cooks could easily avoid full resharpening by keeping knives reasonably sharp with steel or some good sharpener at all time.

[@paveloleynikov4715]

@stockart whiteman Of course/ It is question of purpose - I talked about reasonably good low-end knife, which serves for light duty without much contact with bones or, god forbid, glass cuting board. Of course, you couldn't work that way with some heavy duty restaurant kitchen knife, heavy chinese chopping knife or high-HRC sashimi knife etc.

[@613kitten11]

Beth Grant-DeRoos that’s really often to be sharpening your knives! It can impact the longevity of your knives because each time you use a whetstone you’re essentially filing down your knife. Consider cutting down to every few months, it’ll make your knives last longer overall :)

I’m a masking tape/Sharpie girl, too. Tip: fold under a half-inch on the roll after you tear off a piece. Leave the little tab on the piece you use for your next label. Then when you want to remove a label, you have a nice little pull tab so it peels off easily and cleanly.

I saw you use that small silicone spatula in your sourdough starter video and I went and bought it and BOY has it made my life better. It’s such a simple great little tool.

[@ellilock1]

First of all, thanks. My son introduced me to your videos and it’s upped both of our cooking games. Could you please talk about selection and care of your aluminum baking sheets. I volunteered in a semi-commercial kitchen in a gourmet store’s cooking school for a few years. I say “semi-professional” because we had high end residential cooking appliances as a demonstration and display of the appliances, tools and supplies available to buy in the store. I fell in love with the dozens and dozens of aluminum baking trays we used to bake, prep, etc. and replaced my sundry sheet pans with similar pans, I thought. Because the cooking school served 60-100 people, often, we had a commercial scullery. The sheet pans went through the commercial dishwasher, came out and looked just like yours in this video - a little battered and loved, but shiny and a little patinaed. Mine at home go through the residential dishwasher and oxidize badly.

[@TheNinnyfee]

A good silicone spatula or 1 big & 1 small are so essential, especially when on a budget and with a smaller kitchen. Way less food waste and multiple uses. :)

[@marthabenner6528]

We used to have a large collection of pots and pans (we still do, I just put them in a box on the bottom shelf of the linen closet.) But we found this 10¾" by 2" Dutch oven like pan and we use it almost exclusively, we still need a few other things occasionally such as a medium-sized pot, a wide shallow pan, the tea kettle, the pizza stone, pie pan and a set of baking sheets. Those and our knives, cutting boards, mixing ladles, spoons, chopsticks, a paint brush, measuring bowls, and cheese grater just about cover it. Though we still do need a nice stock pot, a pasta maker, a scale, a higher-end knife sharpener, and the rolling pin.

Woth the ability to do everything from air fry to beak to sous vide... 3 main appliances make up a kitchen... Sure there are the small things like knifes which are important...

My next big purchase is the Kitchenaid stand mixer. I just upgraded to a Vitamix from a Ninja blender that's supposed to be modeled after/just as good as a Vitamix. There's no comparison, especially for nut butters, smoothies, and non-dairy milks. Everything is so much smoother. The mouthfeel of smoothies is just velvety and no tiny grains of things like kale stalks or harder things like carrot, beet, or radishes.

This was an amazing list. Every item, I was like "wow, I use that all the time. I would add: Ultra-fine mesh strainer. Washing cilantro and washing rice are two of my most frequent tasks. Agree on the tape. Deli containers (16oz and 32oz) Instant pot (my rice maker, good for batch prep veggies and soups) Air fryer (I'm too busy to be waiting on oven preheats or using mitts, and I like the air fryer crisp) Carbon steel

[@rolls_8798]

don't write this off - air fryers are incredibly quick, great for frozen chips and that sort of thing. not going to recommend making a fruit mince pie in one however. I'd say, you've got to have at least one cast iron - probably cheapest pan you can get, nonstick better than nonstick (if you do it right), ovensafe, and BEST heat retention AND conduction or any pan (glazed has much the same benefits other than nonstick). i now have one as my dedicated egg frying pan, I'm not going back. (also you won't get cancer from a cast iron regardless of whether you would or wouldn't from teflon)

[@brandeeisbomb]

I loooove my Vitamix. I got a certified refurbished one from their website so it was way cheaper but I’ve had it for like 5 years now and it’s still going strong. I also have a hand me down kitchenaid stand mixer from my sister, which I love but I also wish I had one of the newer models cause this thing is SO heavy and it doesn’t have a handy bowl lifter. And my boos block cutting board was a Christmas gift from a couple years ago and it’s so beautiful. I also love the jar aesthetic.

Cambros?

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

@@rebeccapresti9650 they're polycarbonate food prep and storage containers. Every professional kitchen and restaurant uses them - they're standard sizes to fit in hot bars (they can withstand boiling water) and salad bars, lidded and stackable... they're fantastic! www.restaurantsupply.com/cambro-food-pans

Meat/Oil thermometers are also great to have on hand. They just make cooking so much more precise and stress free rather than having to constantly test out the waters while frying or cooking your steak

Your labelling game consistently makes me giggle. Tehe "lacto bloobs" 😂 You thought no one would notice eh?

[@teeras4999]

Thanks for the tips! Which brand you'd recommend for stainless steel fry pan, skillet, and pots? Also, it'd be nice if you can drop names of other necessities for the kitchen 😁
