The kitchen is by far my favorite part of a home. Why may you ask? Because FOOD!! I love food, eating it, COOKING it, spending countless hours looking at pictures of it on Instagram and Pinterest, I just LOVE Food! Today I made a list of some of the must-have kitchen tools that you’ll need to create delicious food. What more, you can score one of those kitchen tools for yourself. So let’s get right into it!
5 Must-Have Kitchen Tools + AnySharp Giveaway
Set of Knife: Every Kitchen needs a good set of knives. Sharp that can cut everything from raw steak to big ole buttermilk squash. Demo and I are always talking about investing on some high end set of knives but haven’t yet. We are waiting on for our lottery numbers to win!
Cutting board: I’m always using my cutting board. Like ALWAYS. I highly suggest you get a good quality cutting board and make sure you dry them right away to avoid running it. We’ve had to replace our cutting board three times in the last two years because we forget to dry it after each use.
Must-Have Kitchen Tools
Pots and pans: You can’t really cook much of anything without some pots and pans. You don’t need to spend a whole lot, but I suggest you get a good set of quality pots and pans that will last you a long time. And don’t feel the need to buy matching sets either but if you must, Cuisinart has a really nice set, and so does Rachel Ray and Le Creuset (my dream set!!!)
Cooking Utensils: Sort of like pots and pans, you need cooking utensils. Unless you are into using your hands for stir frying your veggies, in which case, don’t you EVER invite me over for dinner! LOL Seriously, though, cooking utensils are must-have kitchen tools if you love cooking.
Knife Sharpener: Because let’s face it, we can’t all afford those expensive knives. And with all the cutting and chopping you will be doing, you’ll end up burning through knives like its no body’s business. The AnySharp is the perfect knife sharpener. I love that you don’t need to use your hands to hold the knife sharpener (perfect if you are a klutz like me and value your fingers). The AnySharp has a suction base which you stick on any soft/smooth surface and it won’t move. Check out the video on how to use the AnySharp knife sharpener.
Now that you know which kitchen tools you need, how about a giveaway?! AnySharp is giving one of my readers the chance to win 1 AnySharp knife sharpener (random color). Giveaway is open to USA & CA!

A good cheese grater and a sharp cleaver are both essentials for me.
I was going to suggest a cheese grater with the attached bowl, but that’s pretty much already been suggested. My next most used tool may be my citrus peeler. They are wonderful.
An onion diced and a cheese grater.
I would add a good mandoline.
Blender!
A good set of knives is so important. I actually need a new one, but it’s not a huge rush.
My knives are getting dull. I do need a sharpener so bad.

These are great list, such a nice giveaway. I know someone who will love this.
What a nice giveaway. I would say a steamer to steam vegetables. xx

Besides everything that you mentioned, I would say a good mixer! It doesn’t even have to be a stand mixer (altho I couldn’t imagine living without one!).
Great giveaway love the sharpener. Looks very heavy duty and will sharpen.
omg i can def use that kitchen sharpen. love these
I totally need something like this knife sharpener. I use them so much to cook and do other things, they definitely need sharpening.

I would love to have all of these! I love to be in the kitchen whipping up something. You have to have good tools to make masterpieces!
That knife sharpener looks awesome! My knives are never sharp enough so I could really use something like this.
I love to be in the kitchen. It is one of my most favorite rooms in the house. I need to check out these gadgets!
That knife sharpener is great! It’s super important to keep your knives sharp but a lot of people are intimidated of the regular knife sharpening rod.
I love that pot set, a must have for every serious and not so serious cook . That knife sharpener though.
In the past, I had a thing with wooden spoons…I never thought that I would use one. But now, as a foodie and avid kitchen magician, I use wooden spoons often. As for gadgets, I LOVE my lil’ Bullet for smoothies and making a quick tomato sauce, etc.

I would add a chopper or vegetable slicer, those are essential for me!
An easy chopper (the ones that you press through slicers) makes cooking a breeze!
I personally cannot live without my electric can opener; some bag clips for produce, dry goods, etc. also a good cast iron skillet, and a “ove glove” oven glove (not an oven mitt, who thought of making it so you can’t use all fingers to get a good grip? sheesh!!)
I feel like a blender should be included in this list.
I would add a Blendtec blender!
A good food processor.
I would add a good whisk and, if the cookware doesnt come with a steamer, a steamer basket (great way to do boiled eggs!)
I have to have my cutting boards. Sharp knives are a must to have also.
A cheese grater and blender are on my must-have list!
I’m a sucker for peeling vegetable skin so I think I need one. I also love to cook and of course eat. All of these are actually lovely!
A good knife and mixing bowls.
A good set of knives is a must for any kitchen!
A cookie scoop, wooden spoons and cookie sheets.
Onion diced and a cheese grater.
I think you just about covered the whole things you need the most in the kitchen
A blender, or a juicer!

Definitly need to add a good set of measuring cups and measuring spoons. I love a scale as well to really keep in check proportions.
Hand towels! You can never have enough of those.
A microplane and some good, large, cotton towels.
Can’t imagine life in the kitchen without a can opener, and funny but you also now need scissors because of all the frozen veggies we’re using.
Nice list! My list would include by far my favorite appliance in the kitchen: Nutribullet Magic Bullet. I seriously can’t do without this thing! It’s not only great for smoothies, but also good for grinding different spices, making a puree etc. Thanks for sharing!
