What Are the Common Utensils You Will Find in a Kitchen?

The heart of any home is the kitchen, but what if you find yourself without the proper resources to prepare a delightful home-cooked meal for your family? With this list of common kitchen utensils, we'll ensure you have everything you need to get your kitchen set up and ready to cook up a storm.

 

Utensils That Every Kitchen Needs

Ready to cook about just anything? Every kitchen has these utensils, so make sure you have them before you start cooking.

 

Chef's Knife

A good knife is a chef's closest companion in any kitchen, but we're not just talking about any ordinary knife here. The key is to choose a chef's knife that you are comfortable with. It should feel balanced in your hand, be simple to grasp and handle, not be too heavy, but not too fragile either. Investing in a sharp knife that can slice and dice effectively is a critical component of successful cooking. Believe us, this is one tool worth your time and money.

 

Mixing Bowls

This is the only utensil that can be used for almost anything, from storing to cooking to baking. Since you will likely need a small, medium, and big bowl depending on what you're preparing, having a variety of sizes is essential. Stainless steel is a particular favorite of most chefs, but any metal will do. However, if you often keep food in your bowls, consider investing in reusable silicone lids.

 

Cutting/Chopping Board

Next comes the cutting boards, an essential part of every kitchen's arsenal. By now, you're probably thinking, "why don't I just use the countertop as a cutting board?" Well, that's a big no-no. You need a cutting board to protect your countertop and ensure that you have a clean surface to cut food on.


Having a variety of cutting boards is vital for every home cook, just as it is for a professional chef. However, choosing from materials like wood, plastic, or glass is entirely your call. A smart tip is to have separate cutting boards for meat and vegetables/fruit to avoid cross-contamination between the two food categories.

 

Spatula and Spoons

No kitchen is complete without these two best friends—spoons and spatulas. A wooden spoon is excellent all-purpose cooking equipment since it does not damage pots and pans, making it safe to use for frying or sautéing food. It's also a fantastic baking instrument, perfect for scraping ingredients together. Even if you buy an inexpensive plastic spatula, it may perform many of the same functions as an expensive wooden spoon. A smart tip is to get a spatula with a thin front edge so that it can easily slip under the food while you're cooking.


Any home chef will tell you that having a well-equipped kitchen is essential. Imagine making a cake without mixing bowls or chopping vegetables for a stir-fry without the use of a knife. Whatever your situation is—whether you're moving into a new house and need to fill your kitchen, or you've been putting up with an insufficient cooking area for years—now is the time to take control.
