Kitchen Basics

Here’s a handy checklist to help you outfit your kitchen with all the basics. If you really love to cook (or plan to learn) consider our more advanced Chef’s Selections.
Cookware
There's a lot to know when it comes to Cookware. There is an incredible range in quality, so it follows that there is a wide range in price. Not to get redundant, but you get what you pay for. If you cook a little, or especially if you cook a lot, it's worth making this investment.

Bakeware
When you think of bakeware, you often conjure up a picture of Betty Crocker in the kitchen with her apron, whipping up a delicious homemade baked treat for the family and friends. Of course, there is a right tool for every job. Here are some key items you will need to indulge your sweet tooth-or theirs.
Bundt Pan
Cake Pans
Cookie Sheets
Muffin Pans
Glass Mixing Bowls
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Colling Rack
Pie Plates
Loaf Pans
Small Appliances
Don't let the small size of some of these appliances fool you. They're a big help in the kitchen. From providing a fresh brewed cup of java in the morning to reheating our late-night dinners they're all must-have appliances for the modern and convenient gourmet kitchen.
Blender
Coffeemaker
Coffee Grinder
Espresso Machine
Food Processor
Hand and/or Stand Mixer
Toaster/Toaster Oven
Waffle Iron

Cutlery
Cutlery is an essential ingredient in any well-stocked kitchen. It's difficult to prepare much of anything without using knives, and it's more difficult and dangerous to prepare everything without good cutlery. A complete set of top of the line knives might cost a pretty penny, but they are a worthwhile investment and a simple solution to give you a cutting edge.
