What you can't do without at the stove

You cannot cook your favorite dishes without utensils. Therefore, a novice hostess will need:

1. Pans. It is advisable to purchase several, of different sizes. You will need a large one for cooking omelets or fish. Smaller - for browning and roasting. Pancake lovers cannot do without a high-quality cast-iron frying pan.
2. Pans. You can purchase a ready-made set consisting of products of different sizes. You will also need saucepans, a ladle and a large container for boiling compotes or preparing blanks for the winter.

Required minimum for baking

To prepare even the simplest dessert or cake, special tools are needed. Of course, you can bake a sponge cake in a saucepan, but baking dishes will make the cooking process much easier and the dishes more accurate. To prepare them you will need:

1. Forms. There is a large number of the most various dishes made of metal or silicone, which delight the eye with a variety of shapes and sizes. But for convenience, it is advisable to first purchase a detachable form with a non-stick coating.
2. Sieve. It is necessary for sifting flour, in order to grind the cottage cheese, to remove the formed lumps in the cream.
3. Rolling pin. It is needed to roll out the dough. It can be wooden, silicone, plastic. There are even models in which the handles rotate separately from the main part.
4. Beaker. To measure 200 ml, you can also use a regular glass. But it should be borne in mind that often recipes require, for example, 70 or 130 ml.
5. Kitchen scales. Of course, the required amount of products can be taken "by eye". But sometimes it is only by following the exact recipe that you can get a delicious dish.

Assistive devices and inventory

For cooking, you will need not only pots and pans, but also:

• grater with various attachments;
• colander;
• two cutting boards;
• scoop;
• skimmer;
• mashed potatoes;
• several bowls of different sizes;
• two or three shoulder blades. It is advisable to purchase options with a rounded edge, since flat products cut food;

When choosing the necessary kitchen utensils and tools, there are several factors to consider. The amount of dishes required depends on the size of the family. For a young family without children, a minimum set of kitchen utensils will be enough. It is also worth considering the material.
