Chef’s Knife
If you’ve only ever utilized a cheap chef’s knife for your cooking requirements, switch to the high quality knife would be a night and day difference. Seriously, when we upgraded to a higher quality chef’s knife we couldn’t faith how much sharper, heavier, and easy it was to cut and chopping with the quality knife. And since you can utilize a chef’s knife for all of your cutting requirements (and utilize it every time you cook), one higher-quality purchase will offer you for years to come.

For draining pasta or salad greens and washing vegetables, a colander is an necessary piece for your minimalist kitchen. This 5-quart stainless steel colander from OXO Good Grips is well designed and has ergonomic non-slip handles and feet so it dont slip all over the place.
Vegetable Peeler
A vegetable peeler do really speed up your preparation time, whether you’re utilizing it to peel carrots, potatoes, or any other vegetables.
Potato Masher
Although a potato masher is a good tool, it usually has a very bulky shape that makes closing your drawer little touger. We chose this flip potato masher from Prepara for a few significant reasons.
Whisk
A whisk is often one of the most utilized items in your kitchen, so it’s significant to have one that’s ergonomically made. This 9-inch whisk from OXO Good Grips fits great in the hand and is ideal for whisking together sauces, salad dressings, desserts, eggs, and much more.
Salad Spinner
A salad spinner is your best buddy when it comes to having a crisp salad. To prevent your greens from going soggy, you’ll require to dry them and spinning them is by far the easiest manner to do it.
Grater
One thing we’re against here at Mealime is inefficacy. So what does this denote, exactly? It meals selecting multi-purpose tools and ignoring single-purpose tools whenever possible. Instead of purchasing various types of graters, a chiffonade and a zester, why not select one tool that can do it all?
Shears
For cutting up a whole chicken and other meats, to stripping herbs to vegetables, to even cutting the stems off of flowers, these herb shears and kitchen from OXO Good Grips are fantastic.
Citrus Juicer
Sometimes it’s the apparently insignificant tasks in the kitchen that offer way more problem than they must. Juicing a lime or lemon is one of those tasks!
Garlic Press
We still have this garlic press from Kuhn Rikon but utilize it less than we utilized to. If you don’t love playing with garlic and need the quickest solution, picking up this highly rated garlic press and you’ll be awesome to go. But if you don’t brain crushing and chop your own garlic, you might need to pass on this item.
Paring Knife

Bread Knife
A bread knife is a serrated knife that is typically utilized for (wait for it…) slicing bread. A higher quality bread knife can also be utilized for slicing delicate items such as cakes or pastry’s.
