The newest thing I need to add to my kitchen? A Hello Kitty microwave!
Just kidding.
I actually really want a slow cooker next. I love making things in a slow cooker. A little bit of prep work is required but then you leave it and come back to a lovely dinner already done! It’s such a handy thing to use. As an adult I finally understand why my mom always used hers so much.
Right now my kitchen needs:
- A working stove/oven
- A slow cooker
- Pot holders
- More kitchen towels
- Salt & Pepper
I could probably continue this list for a while but those are the basics that I would love to have right now. After 3 weeks of not cooking I am dying to be able to make a real meal. I’d love to cook a Thai curry or enchiladas or turkey meat loaf muffins. Anything really! I miss cooking.
Most of you already have stocked kitchens I’m sure, but maybe you are missing one or two items….
If you don’t already have one, I highly recommend a good quality food processor. I use mine all the time! Such a time saver, and great for making bean/veggie burgers!
I second Mary’s suggestion. Also, get a mini one! That’s something I want just to cut onions.
I am thankful every meal that I cook in a real, nice, adult type set of pots and pans I didn’t get from ikea/target special/etc. Worth the splurge when you have the $$ (and we didn’t even go crazy, I got a huge set I love for 200$.
My kitchen needs organization – I’ve bought “replacements” for things and not actually gotten rid of the old stuff. I need to do that… (and a new stove that actually works, but that’s our christmas gift)
No working stove/oven? Eek. I hope you get that fixed soon! Slow cookers, my mother was always worried about leaving something like that going while no one was home, it might cause a fire. I’ll admit, I’ve inherited her fear. My kitchen needs containers. I buy bulk things from the bulk section, like quinoa, couscous, other grains, etc., and they’re all in plastic or paper bags that the grocery store has. I need some sort of organizational containers to store each of them in. Likewise, I need some sort of spice organizer or spice rack, as I can never find what spice I need and I think I have more than one of some kinds. One half of a counter and a whole cabinet are completely overrun with bulk items and spices!
Oh our kitchen needs a whole makeover lol
I can’t think of what we might need, our kitchen is small so there is not much room left for anything. I do have a immersion blender on my wish list but it’s not a necessity.
One of the best crockpot websites I have found is http://www.crockingirls.com. They have a Facebook page too. They give you a shopping list on Friday so you can buy the ingredients over the weekend and then they post a video on Monday to show you how to make the recipe. Check it out. I love my crockpot. I think after you get your necessities out of the way, you must get the hello kitty microwave! So adorable! I’m an avid cooker and a nice set of pots and pans is good to have as previous posted but they don’t have to cost a lot. My favorite set so far has been my Rachel Ray set that I purchased at Kohls with coupons for just over $100. They have held up well and I’ve had them six years.
My kitchen needs a total makeover – we lease & we just want to move! ;)
