Having these kitchen essentials has made cooking so much easier, and one thing I’ll say about each one of these items, the quality is superb, and I use them all multiple times a week.
Number 1
Kitchen Knives
Let’s start off with kitchen knives. I found these on whim and I learnt through many dm’s on instagram that these are the best knives for cutting produce. I realize that these are a dupe for another popular brand, but they work just as great.
Number 2
Vegetable Chopper
This chopper has changed the way I prep my meals, im not joking. I would always think I can hope faster than a chopper. Then I got this chopper and whoa. I have the 4-1 and I love it. Onions tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, berries.. you name it. This will become your best friend in the holiday hosting months and Ramzan. I don’t find it hard to clean, I wash it with the brush attachment it comes with and then I stick it in the dishwasher.
Number 3
Silicone Utensils Set
This set of silicone utensils is excellent. It can withstand high heat, dishwasher safe and most of all (to me) looks aesthetically pleasing.
Number 4
Microplane Grater
You need a good microplane grater. It’s just one of those items which will elevate your cooking. Be it for grating lemon zest of the fluffiest parmesan. I also use this one to grate nutmeg and chocolate. It’s great quality and has lasted me years.
Number 5
Drying Mats
These eco friendly drying mats are wonderful. I used to have those fabric drying mats and they always needed a frequent wash, I was always worried about bacteria. These eco friendly mats are non slip and fast dry. Plus point, they look so good lying on your kitchen counter. I also have them in my bathroom.
Number 6
Kitchen Towels
You know me and my love for kitchen towels. This brand is my favorite. Last years, doesn’t loose its shape and they are so absorbent. I always have one of these thrown over my shoulder as I am a compulsive hand drier.
Number 7
Fridge Deodorizer
If you suffer from a smelly fridge, you know the one when you open the door and you can smell last nights dinner, then you need this fridge deodorizer. It lasts 10 years. No more buying baking soda in bulk when you have this. Its literally magic. It sucks up all the odors leaving your fridge smelling neutral.
Number 8
Scrub Daddy
The best, hands down dish sponge is the Scrub daddy. Believe the hype when they tell you. They are just fantastic. They do not scratch your utensils and delicate china, but you do get left with the most pristine wash ever on your dishes. Trust me, get the multipack. Oh and they last forever. Just sanitize it once a month in your dishwasher.
Number 9
Microfiber Towels
I think I bought these microfiber towels 4 years ago. I still use them. Look if you’re like me, you clean your counters every night (ok maybe multiple times a day). These are the best cleaning cloths for it. I have a set for the bathrooms and a set for the kitchen. I love that they are color coded so you can separate them. And no you cannot use the tea towels in this list to clean your counters… you need to trust me on this.
Number 10
Odor Eliminating Spray
Saved the best for last. Don’t ask me how I found these odor eliminating sprays. Ok fine I’ll tell you. I found them in Salims hospital. They use these sprays to get rid of any unwanted smells (like urine, blood feces) So I figured would they work for our Pakistani/Indian cooking? Would they work on that beautiful smell of the temper on the daal, or the reduction of the tomatoes with the onions and spices…would it? My friends, it does…and it’s amazing. I personally like the unscented one. But the lemon one is close second. Just a few sprays of this, and Im telling you, smells be gone. You may want one for the bathrooms too. Oh and you can use it on carpets and upholstery. Its magic. Linking you to the spray bottle and the refillable one.
