Question:

What are your 3 best and important kitchen tools?

— Lilly Boulianne

Answer:

That would be a very sharp knife, uh, cutting board. And what would my third one be? Um, I mean honestly it's gonna be your pots or your pans, a good saute pan and uh, like kind of a deep, maybe six quart, uh, pot will probably be my top things to be able to do. Now there are all kinds of other things. You can go out there and get fancier with a food processor or a blender are wonderful. Food processors might, you know, uh, blenders will do a lot of the things that food processors won't do. Keeps a little more contained. So if you're gonna pick between the two of blender might be a good option for that as well. Um, but I do love using both of those options, food processors or blenders for just different items. Now there are all kinds of gadgets and tools out there, but really a good knife at a C board are probably the best tools you're going to be able to, um, have in your kitchen. And they're really the most essential, uh, everything else is kind of like to make things easier, right? So the food processor just makes chopping quicker, right? The blender is something you can't do just with a knife and a cutting board because it turns it almost into a liquid. So the blender might be my third tool besides a potter or a pan in there too.
