As a German I'm still kinda surprised that it is so uncommon to use a scale in the US (and potentially in other places?). While not every recipe here has perfected measurements, we only measure liquids by volume and sometimes small quantities of sugar, salt, baking soda or spices in tea-/tablespoons. Everything else is weight measured.

That 'big iron pot' we call a Dutch oven. They are not cheap at all but worth every penny. I actually have two - one I use just for baking bread in as I don't want my bread tasting of anything else. The other I use for stews and for roasting meats in. There's a great technique for doing chicken breasts perfectly - a bit of oil in the Dutch oven, then put in on the burner on high until the oil starts to smoke. Throw in your seasoned chicken breast and immediately cover them. Leave the Dutch oven on the high heat for exactly one minute then turn the heat down to low. Then leave the oven on the low heat for 15 minutes. Then take it off the heat and leave it to continue the cooking just from the heat in the iron itself. But never, ever open the lid to check. The chicken comes out... SUCCULENT! One tip - if you are cooking on electric get a second element going on low to switch the Dutch oven over to as electric elements do not reduce heat quickly enough and you dry things out.

One item I can't really live without that has no substitute is my Salad Spinner. You HAVE to wash your greens, and there's no other way to dry them out after, apart from wasteful paper towels that do a terrible job. Not just greens, though, fries and hash browns require you to wash and dry potatoes, when you buy any produce you should wash it and store it dry, and if you are really cramped for space, you can replace your colander with the inner basket from this device. (Not recommended for pastas and hot items.) I hate to promote a brand, I've used only a few types, but the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner is head and shoulders above any that I've tried. Well worth the few extra dollars. Whatever you buy, get the bowl-type that allows you to soak stuff in the spinner, not the open-bottom type, those just wet, not wash. What are your must-haves?

The infrared laser thermometer is great for checking the temperature of, say, a wood-fired baking oven, but useless for boiling liquids.

@twalshkart2 жыл бұрын
This is because of the way an laser thermometer works. It's NOT directly taking the temperature with a laser. In fact the laser in it is extremely misleading. It's taking the average infrared emission of the area it's pointed at. This area is a CONE, so the farther away you point it, the larger the area it takes an average reading of. Also the substance it's hitting can vary it's emissions by a LOT. Cast iron works well, but glass does not. Boiling liquids as you found out, don't do so well either. The ONLY thing I use my infrared thermometer for in the kitchen is.. Cast iron temperatures. That's it. Everything else it's off sometimes wildly.
@ragnkja2 жыл бұрын
@@twalshkart The size of the area I was pointing it at wasn't the issue here, because I was holding the thermometer maybe 10-20 cm away from the boiling sugar. With glass, I think the issue is that it's somewhat transparent to infrared radiation, and I suppose the same might be true for sugar.

The meat can be done safely if you don't care about overdoing it for few minutes, but fermented things needs a very specific temperature range or they will go bad.

I hear you. Actually, Pyrex makes excellent dutch ovens out of vitro-ceramics that are much much lighter than cast iron, cook just the same, and with the added bonus that they can go straight into the fridge for leftovers and straight from the fridge to the stove/oven when you need to reheat the food. It's the Flame Vitro-ceramic Round Casserole model with borosilicate glass lid. There's different sizes and you can get glass steamer baskets for them too. I have one and would never in a million years replace it with a cast iron dutch oven.

I don't like a microplane, because I don't have a good sense of how much ingredient I add and, for example with cheese, it flies everywhere around the counter, no matter how big is the bowl I use. I wonder if this is because I have a crappy model, since all chefs and home-cooks seem to love them.

Lodge makes a 12", possibly a 15" one, and they are sold new in stores.
@yourmajesty35692 жыл бұрын
Honestly all the new ones are junk. They won't be good until they are 10 or 20 years old because they don't mill the inside smooth enough. My everyday cast iron cane from my mom. And my others are from antique stores. You can find odd sizes and they have been used and loved and seasoned for decades. All have super smooth interior bottoms from use.

What’s the size/volume of that Dutch oven?
@dianeroome9728 ай бұрын
I have most of these items, so probably on my way to pro home cook status! LOL. The difference is I get most of my gear at the thrift store. I 💘 to find quality stuff and am well equipped. Of course, nothing matches, but so what? Better a charity gets my money than Amazon!

Here are a couple of things that I think you're missing: 1. Whisk 2. Stock Pot In addition to the knives you pointed out, I also have a cleaver and a serrated knife. I like making stock, and a cleaver is necessary for getting through bones and/or cutting up carcasses to throw in the pot. In my pots and pans, I also have a stock pot as I mentioned, two cast iron frying pans, sheet pans, two heavy duty Dutch ovens (for stew, chili, soup, and bread), loaf pans, and a couple of saucepans. I have more wooden cutting boards and charcuterie boards than God ever intended one person to have (and I regret nothing), and I think that's about it. Not a professional in the kitchen by any stretch of the imagination, but I love having stuff that I can use. Besides my grandmother being a caterer, I loved watching Julia Child when I was a child. 😊

With decades of experience I can tell you that #10 is incorrect, you want a probe thermometer before a non-contact (laser) thermometer because people do care about getting their steak medium rare and not well done, plus people care even more about not serving raw chicken to anyone. I use my probe thermometer (buy a good one, don't get cheap on this) every day to two times a day, I use my non-contact thermometer once or twice a month. And yes You use a probe thermometer when baking because baking requires a lot of precision so if you want your beloved sourdough bread or you birthday cake to come out with a raw center then use a probe thermometer.

kitchen essentials. What is it with "top ten". It's form over substance. In this case 11 would have been better. The most glaring omission is a good pan. Or how about 12 by adding another essential, a sheet pan. Ditch the thermometer for a can opener.

I had a gas stove all my married life until 2 years ago when we moved. I honestly didn't think I was going to like Induction - now I can't imagine cooking without it. It does wipe clean easy: only down side: there's a kind of greasy film you can't get rid of. Anyone help with that? 😏
