Items I use in my kitchen: Rice Cooker amzn.to/3g0ZVqK This is a must! Makes cooking rice so easy. Nothing fancy but makes great fluffy rice. Non-stick Pans amzn.to/2F8TyoB These are my favorite non-stick pans, they last longer than other non-stick pans I have owned. They are heavy duty, holding heat well and distributing it evenly. I will continue to buy these anytime I need a non-stick pan. Vitamix amzn.to/3ktDwG6 This has been one of my favorite purchases. It makes my sauces extra smooth and also makes the best smoothies! You can grind and chop with it, as well, and it's easy to clean. My favorite thing about the Vitamix is the power it has to blend with minimal to no extra liquid to be added. Magic Bullet amzn.to/33M2VVB I have enjoyed using this for purees. It is not as powerful as the Vitamix, but works well for the price point. You may need to add more liquid than with the Vitamix, which is my only complaint, but for someone looking for a blender that is cost effective, I highly recommend. Stick Blender amzn.to/2FceNWJ The stick blender works great when you do not want to transfer to the blender. Also works wonderful for emulsifying dressings. The best thing to use this for is to make a silky cheese sauce. I will link a recipe when I post it. Victorinox Swiss Army Chef Knife amzn.to/30Ly8Xa This is a great starter knife. It is not my favorite, but this is personal preference, because it just does not feel "right" in my hand. Everything else about it, is great. It has lasted a long time and I do use it a fair amount even though I have other knives. It is well priced and gets the job done! Masahiro Chef Knife amzn.to/3gZ8Avr This knife is extremely sharp and I do not recommend for a beginner chef. This knife is great for chopping veggies, fileting fish, slicing meat and anything else you need a great knife for. This is my favorite knife I have. 3 Piece Knife Set amzn.to/2FcGb6X This is a great set of knives to start your cooking journey. You can do everything you need with these. I have had these knives for over 8 years and would get them again, but you don't have too! All you need to do is sharpen them occasionally. Knife sharpener amzn.to/30L88LB This is a must have item that will save you money, so you do not have to pay to get your knives sharpened. This makes sharpening your knives a breeze. Anytime they get dull bust this out and they will be good as new. All-clad pan set amzn.to/2F5dJ6Q These pans are well worth the price, I have owned mine for 8 years and they still look and cook like they are brand new. Not only are the excellent to cook with, but they are easy to clean and can be put into the dishwasher. If you do not want the full set and just frying pans: amzn.to/2PK1w9S Cutting Boards amzn.to/33JKEbu I enjoy these for the non-slip grip on each end. You do not have to worry about putting down a wet rag underneath and trying to hold it place as you chop. Bakers Scale amzn.to/2FbIIOO This is a scale I have used in multiple kitchens, where it got daily use. It lasts a long time and is small enough to find a place in your kitchen. One of my favorite features is you can take the stainless steel platform off for easy cleaning. Must have for baking or pasta making as it is more precise than using measuring cups. Also great for even portions. Mixing Bowls amzn.to/31FDxOI These get used for baking, cooking in batches, mixing sauces and much more. They will last you a very long time. Measuring Cup amzn.to/3ahfpG8 I have used mine for so many things, and can be used in the microwave. It is also dishwasher safe. Measuring Spoon set amzn.to/3kJMsaC For accurate measuring, this is a must have in your kitchen. Spatula amzn.to/3gLIs6N You must have this to keep your non-stick pans in great condition. It does not scratch the non-stick pans and is just a nice spatula. Food does not stick to it for easy clean up. Wooden Utensil Set amzn.to/2XKlrJZ I use these each day in my kitchen and have had them for over 8 years. Only one broke, but that is because one of my roommates put it in the dishwasher multiple times. I still have all the other ones and they are holding up great. Meat Thermometer amzn.to/3iw80FQ This is great for any beginner cook all they way up to home chefs. If you smoke meats, deep fry or just cook meat to temp, this will always be used in your kitchen. Also those tough baking items that you need to make sure the middle is fully cooked, what do you need? This right here. Stainless Steel Colander amzn.to/3kyUItK I use this to strain my pasta noodles, rinse vegetables, beans and much more! You will want one of these handy in your kitchen. MicroPlane amzn.to/2Y1tJh3 Grate parmesan cheese, garlic, ginger and so much more! Cheese Grater amzn.to/30KH0fD Loaf Pan amzn.to/2PGxWC7 I use my loaf pan to make meat loaf, banana bread and other breads. It is a wonderful non-stick pan. I should not say this but I have been washing mine in the dishwasher and it still is working great! Hand mixer amzn.to/2XO6mYd Since I have not invested in a stand mixer and spent the money on the Vitamix instead, I have this handy (no pun intended) Hand Mixer. It has been great for brownies, cookies, banana bread, cheesecake bars and much more. As a cost effective option, this one will work great. Ice cream maker amzn.to/3gMM34M This is a wonderful little ice cream maker for me. I do not make ice cream all the time, so I did not want to spend too much on an ice cream maker. For the price, I love it. It has lasted me many years now and many batches of ice cream. Although it does not aerate the ice cream as much as some of the other fancy ice cream makers I am guessing would, this one is a great price point for getting some delicious homemade ice cream. I recommend it, especially if you are not going to be making ice cream all the time. I have enjoyed this ice cream maker for what it is and have made some amazing flavors! The plates and bowls in my pictures: Sango Salad Plate amzn.to/3iwEyiY Unfortunately I could not find the set but here is the plate commonly used in my pictures. I have had these for 8 years and I am still getting compliments on them. (Green onion Chimichurri) Sango Bowl amzn.to/3fK90Eh The bowls to go with the plates. Also have had these for 8 years. (Ice Cream Picture) Noritake 16 piece set amzn.to/2DQLeJy Here is the Noritake set I have. Noritake 4 piece set amzn.to/30MeaLT In case you do not need the 16 piece set. Noritake Pasta Bowl amzn.to/3gOTPuO The pasta bowls in my pictures. (Pork Adobo, Kalua Pork, Red Curry Picture) Noritake Dinner Plate amzn.to/3kz3l7A Lamb Chop w/ Red Wine Butter Sauce Picture Noritake Rice Bowl amzn.to/30JIgPY Dan Dan Noodles Picture Noritake Salad Plate amzn.to/3fNikY7
