What are the basic kitchen utensils you should look for?
While the category of kitchen utensils is broad and every utensil has its own benefit, a couple of them are definitely essential for any kitchen. Make sure that your collection of kitchen utensils covers cooking spoons and ladles, whisks, kitchen knives, measuring spoons, tongs, fish turners, cutting boards, choppers, serveware, flatware, and kitchen tool holders. With the basics in place, you’d be ready to diversify your collection with important additions.
What material is best for utensils?
The safest materials for cooking utensils are those which do not react with food and are natural and non-toxic. Popular materials for kitchen utensils involve stainless steel, wood, silicone, and bamboo. Some properties of a good utensil material are:
- Made from non-toxic materials and natural
- Biodegradable or recyclable
- Flexible and not harsh on cooking surfaces that can cause scratches
- A high temperature threshold while it doesn’t conduct heat to holders
- Easy to clean and nonsticking
What is the easiest way to clean kitchen utensils?
It is important to keep kitchen utensils clean and hygienic. Remnants of cooked food and debris can attract bacterial growth, pests, bugs, and fungal infestations. This can cause severe illnesses like food poisoning unless the cooking utensils are cleaned and stored properly.
- Cooking utensils need to be washed with soapy water and a proper scrubbing pad needs to be used. If there are stubborn stains, you may need a ball of steel wool or a scouring pad. Slotted spoons can collect grime so it’s important that while cleaning, the scrubbing sponge is flexible enough to get into the nook and crannies.
- Washing with warm water is best. However, follow the instructions given by the manufacturer regarding cleaning the utensil.
- After using soap, rinse the utensils thoroughly with water so that no soap is left behind. Dry the utensils on a drying mat or a dish drying rack. After they are dried completely, store your utensils in the proper places.
If you have a dishwasher, make sure that the cooking utensils are dishwasher-friendly before turning them in for cleaning.
