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!

Mahdi Martin says
A good cheese grater and a sharp cleaver are both essentials for me.
Michele Cupp says
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.
Cheryl B says
An onion diced and a cheese grater.
Dee Johnson says
I would add a good mandoline.
Amy Heffernan says
Blender!

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!).

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.
Mardene R Carr says
I love that pot set, a must have for every serious and not so serious cook . That knife sharpener though.
Yona Williams says
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.

Alexandra says
I would add a chopper or vegetable slicer, those are essential for me!
Justine says
An easy chopper (the ones that you press through slicers) makes cooking a breeze!
kelly mcgrew says
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!!)
Janel says
I feel like a blender should be included in this list.
Cami says
I would add a Blendtec blender!
LeAnn Harbert says
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!)

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.
Robyn Bellefleur says
Hand towels! You can never have enough of those.
rust says
A microplane and some good, large, cotton towels.
Tina Gleisner says
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.
Eve says
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!
