Tongs:

They make life easier for you in the kitchen when you need to get something out of a boiling pot, or you can use them on the barbecue to flip meat and sausages. Another kind of tongs, which we think is super cool is salad tongs, it makes it easier for you or your guests to fill up a salad plate.

Spatulas:

It is important to mention that there are different kinds of spatulas with different uses. You’ll need a straight one for scrapping from a bowl or a can, and another to flip pancakes or serve a piece of lasagna. A few things you need to look for before purchasing, you want a spatula that is made of heat resistant material and we also prefer to stay away from steel spatulas as they might scratch the bottom of your pans. Go for wooden or rubber. You also want spatulas, for easier scrapping from deep pots or narrow cans and for your hand to stay away from the heat.

Drainer:

They’re great for draining pasta, vegetables and for washing fruits as well. Make sure the one you buy can handle extreme temperatures both hot and cold. It should also have legs so that it keeps the food away from the water while draining or washing, steady handles for easier carrying and as many holes as possible.

Oven mitts:

They’re a must have in every kitchen, you want to fetch a pan from the oven or move the pot from the stove, you have to wear oven mitts. They come in different colors and materials, the most common are cloth mitts, and if you’re buying that we recommend you stay away from light colors.

Storage:

No one can have enough of that, whether it’s for leftovers, or for ingredients. Look for a set that goes into one another, to save space while you are not using them. Also you should consider getting microwave safe containers and ones with a spill proof seal.
